'TOMB' DWELLER!


Certainly a finalist for one of the all-time great iconic Classic Doctor Who series images ever taken, as a terrifying Cyberman bursts out from its long sleep within the tombs of the ancient world of Telos. A superbly atmospheric, specially posed image taken for BBC publicity, presumably taken in colour for potential cover use by the Radio Times (who did indeed promote The Tomb of the Cybermen on their frontage during its original airing, but with B/W composite imagery instead) - it was clear to everyone in front of and behind the camera that this particular serial was going to be a special one during it's ambitious 1967 filming.
