C043 The Wheel in Space

The most convoluted Cyberman plot to date VS. The least professional space station crew ever * * * The Doctor and Jamie, now sans Victoria, spend a whole episode battling a homicidal servo robot aboard a spaceship before going to the titular space station, The Wheel, and forgetting all about it (the robot, that is). Why did the robot try to kill them? What was it doing there in the first place? We don't find out. But we do soon learn that it wasn't the only metallic murder machine this serial had in store for the Doctor. Before too long, Cybermen are actually hatching left and right, and the station is swarming with Cybermats to boot! Thankfully Doc and Jamie team up with soon-to-be TARDIS companion, Zoe Heriot, and a host of amazing characters to battle the silver menace. Have a listen to this synopsis/review – yep, it's another mostly lost serial, and thus also another Ponken solo mission – and please remember to rate and review us on iTunes! * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
