2.0 out of 5 stars
Overloaded with continuity,
This review is from: Doctor Who: Attack of the Cybermen (Target Doctor Who Library) (Paperback)
The Doctor decides to finally repair the TARDIS chameleon circuit and planning a holiday, when he picks up a distress signal from some aliens on Earth. So there he and Peri go, only to find themselves caught up in the plot of some time travelling Cybermen...Adapted as a novel by script editor Eric Saward, this book is one of those examples where too many continuity references spoil the plot. The TV serial upon which it is based was broadcast in 1985, but the book relies upon the events of the 1966 serial 'The Tenth Planet' and the 1967 serial 'Tomb of the Cybermen', as well as some references back to the very first Doctor Who serial ('An Unearthly Child' 1963) and bringing back a character from the previous season (Lytton from 'Resurrection of the Daleks' 1984). Add to this that the story doesn't get many of the facts right and you know you've got a problem... However, the real problem is that this is an excessively violent Doctor Who story. Eric Saward's term as script editor saw the violence steadily increasing, and with the new (sixth) Doctor, he went overboard. Stripped back and completely rewritten, this could have been a good story. Sadly, it isn't.
