Who: The Tomb of the Cybermen
On the planet Telos, the Doctor and his friends encounter a party
of archaeologists intent on uncovering the mythical tomb of the
Cybermen. Only the Doctor seems aware of the folly of this venture,
but suddenly it's too late - the ice tombs are open, and the Cybermen
are coming back to life. Trapped underground with the Cyber Controller
and his acolytes, including the vermin-like Cybermats, the Doctor
learns they are to be turned into a new generation of Cybermen.
Patrick Troughton is the Doctor in this digitally remastered soundtrack
of a classic BBC TV story. Frazer Hines, who played Jamie in these
four BBC TV episodes from 1967, provides linking narration, and
in a bonus interview, he also recalls the making of The Tomb
of the Cybermen.

Britain TV Series 3
Enjoy the very best sketches from the brilliant third television
series, written by and starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams.
Bubbles is back! But has she met her match with arch-enemy Desiree?
Dudley's Thai mail-order bride arrives, but can he get to grips
with Ting Tong? Then there's the usual favourites: Lou and Andy
getting into an awful kerfuffle over boob jobs and slow-drying
patios, the Prime Minister and Sebastian exchanging favours, Dafydd
canvassing support in the local Bi Elections, and Emily and Florence
going on their (very small) hen night. Hold the front page! Vicky
Pollard has some scandal for the press (for a price) and Marjorie
Dawes finally apologises to her FatFighters. This must-see TV
series is now a must-hear. Guest stars include Anthony Head, Nigel
Havers, Rob Brydon, Imelda Staunton, Richard Madeley, Judy Finnigan
and Ruth Madoc.
