Hired assassin Doom is on a mission to save her own life before Death catches up with her. If she can find the Doctor they might be able to help her - but where in Time and Space are they? These four missions take Doom to a Mediterranean cruise ship in 1966, the planet Mars in the distant past, San Francisco in 1999, and finally a desolate planet in a dying solar system. Along the way she meets former TARDIS travellers Ian and Barbara, the mighty Ice Warriors, and Brian the Ood. But when a mysterious stranger with silver hair and sunglasses turns up, will he be Doom's salvation?

It is AD 79, and the TARDIS lands in Pompeii on the eve of the town's destruction. Mount Vesuvius is ready to erupt and bury its surroundings in molten lava, just as history dictates. Or is it? The Doctor and Donna find that Pompeii is home to impossible things: circuits made of stone, soothsayers who read minds and fiery giants made of burning rock. From a lair deep in the volcano, these creatures plot the end of humanity—and the Doctor soon finds he has no way to win.

An occasionally incomprehensible history
This is a chronicle of the Cybermen, as summarized and hypothesized by an in-universe historian, covering all of their appearances in Classic Dr. Who. I'm only a casual fan, but the subject matter was easy to understand, although I will admit to sometimes getting lost in the long Cybermen "evolutionary tree."
The actual words, however, were not always so easy to understand. The narration was fine, crisp and clear; but whenever characters from the show were quoted, it's a different story. Some distortion effects were applied to them that made them difficult to make out. This goes double for the Cybermen themselves; in particular, the Cyber Module (or Coordinator) in "First Invasion Of Earth," and the entirety of "Welcome To The Cyber Hive," are almost completely unintelligible. This is not related to how they sound in the show, where I had no problem understanding them. It's a baffling choice that ruins large chunks of this presentation.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
