The Tomb of the Cybermen

(Series 5, Episodes 1-4)

Summary: A group of archaeologists visit the planet Telos to discover what happened to the Cybermen.  Look out – it’s a trap!  Oh, but some of you knew that!  This story is just so layered.  Jamie makes a new space buddy, only for him to die horribly minutes later, the Cybermats are introduced, and Victoria screams even more than Polly.

Watch it because:

Victoria: “You probably can't remember your family.”

The Doctor: “Oh yes, I can when I want to. And that's the point, really. I have to really want to, to bring them back in front of my eyes. The rest of the time they... they sleep in my mind and I forget.”

Poor Susan.
