Opening the Tomb Doors | The Tomb of the Cybermen | Doctor Who

[@bigwingedkuriboh]

Fun Fact: The little hand holding between Two and Jamie wasn't in the script, but was planned by them before the shoot so they could have some fun and because they knew that given the way the show was shot they probably wouldn't do a retake.

[@rassilontdavros3004]

This is why I love Troughton. Even if I'm not a big fan of Tomb.

[@TheOnComingStorm121]

I can't confirm if this is true or not so take this with a massive grain of salt but I remember the director getting really pissed off at this bit as he didn't like the idea of implying that Jamie and the Doctor were doing any of 'that sort of thing'. And rumour has it Pat and Frazer agreed to play the Second Doctor and Jamie from then on 'As if they were sleeping together'. Again not sure if true but I mean... Look at how close the Doctor and Jamie get in a lot of scenes. It'd make sense.

[@acorn1014]

Sam Dimitrijevic, Frazer confirmed it during those "meet the doctors" series of interviews in 2013.

[@TheGamerZapocalypse]

It clearly implied nothing was going on...that's why the Doctor threw Jamie's hand away so fast when he saw it was not the female companion he was holding hands with. He thought he was holding her hand which is why it's funny. @@TheOnComingStorm121

[@kalvingoodlaxson]

It seemed clear that was improvised. But still worked for the fun for the Second Doctor and his personality.

[@OneCentSky]

My favorite thing about this scene is that the Doctor and Jamie holding hands was a improv by Troughton and Hines. Absolutely brilliant!

[@blah7983]

Not improv, pre planned knowing they won’t do another take

[@philipstirups3462]

As a Doctor Who fan I know this is probably a controversial choice, but Patrick Throughton is up there with the best of them.

[@DarthRushy]

***** Why would it be controversial? The Second Doctor is pretty much loved by all. It's like saying "please don't blame me for choosing Tom Baker".

[@TheDoctor394]

+Philip Stirups Troughton has been my favourite Doctor for many, many years.

[@mrdoctorgilmore]

Philip Stirups I agree, I honestly believe he's the best

[@SpectrumStorms]

@@DarthRushy I think I might know the answer, but which would be more controversial: Saying that Troughton is the definitive doctor or Tom Baker not being in someone's top 5 doctor ranking?

[@DarthRushy]

Tom not being in someone's Top 10, I'd imagine.

[@novecentodb]

Around 0:24-0:31 Troughton went full McGann for a couple of sentences.

[@AndrewChapman]

2:50 LOL. And of course "Look at Jamie's."

[@julietfischer5056]

Frazer Hines was voted best legs on television.

[@robadams8057]

I laughed at that too.

[@SuperWolsey]

"HEY! I'll have ye kno-.... Oh, aye!"

[@MC-pg8mw]

I always thought that this episode was a little overrated, but Two/Jamie is the best Doctor/companion chemistry. Ever.

[@hungrydragonvsfrightendhob7799]

Notice when the doctor tries to open the door, he puts his foot on it to keep it closed, and Jamie does it as well, though much more subtly. No wonder they couldn't get it open. ☺️

[@KirksMerkin]

I wish the current production team would sit down and really think about WHY this is still one of the best Cybermen stories. In this era of Who no one gets to just "shake-off" full on cyber conversion because they hear a baby crying, or because "love is a promise". If they get you, they get you. Period. You belong to them. You shall become ... like them. It blows my mind how current Who can screw up something as bone chillingly basic as a techno-zombie.

[@KirksMerkin]

This is also a good time to look at why Jamie is one of the best loved classic companions. Jamie with Troughtons's Doctor was simply magic.

[@scarecrowmedia1151]

KirksMerkin You forget love was how The Cybermen was defeated in Series 2, so.. RTD too.

[@KirksMerkin]

***** lol oh I didn't forget. I just didn't want to go on another tirade about NuWho defeating every other antagonist with "feelings".

[@scarecrowmedia1151]

If The Cybermen do come back, I think Moffat should co-write it. Take suggestions from the fans.

[@TrentonBlessWrestlemania489]

KirksMerkin Yeah, the Cybermen were at their best in the 60's. The Tenth Planet was excellent. The Moonbase was pretty good too. Tomb of the Cybermen is one of my favorites. The Wheel in Space and The Invasion I have not yet seen the recons/episodes for yet.

[@scl1332]

I don’t think anyone pointed out how amazing this score is it makes 3 dudes opening a door and a few other dudes arguing otherworldly

[@starduster2829]

Patrick Troughton is brilliant in this clip!

[@IOmoon6221]

Star Duster Patrick Troughton was brilliant in every episode of his.

[@starduster2829]

Ionut Maris I don't disagree for a second haha

[@that-british-whovian]

When I met Frazer Hinnes he said he and Troughton loved this bit because not only did they know they could slip it in but because peter Bryant would be really annoyed with them, which of course he was

[@Engineer_Who]

One of my favorite scenes from one of my all-time favorite stories.

[@G.R.V-v4g]

Troughton and Hines had such great chemistry together.

[@mwebber69]

He really is my favorite Classic Doctor... And I've just noticed that Matt Smith's Doctor really looks like Patrick Troughton's (sense of humour, the way he plays with his hands...)

[@TheOriginalJphyper]

+mwebber69 The bow tie...

[@64Studios101]

Yeah, Matt has cited the Second Doctor (and this story specifically) as inspiration for his role.

[@Tardisius]

" And now, we shall open these doors " The Doctor in 'The Tomb of Cybermen' September 1967 =))

[@joshuajoestar5863]

"look at Jamie's" 😂

[@lordlossize]

toberman was the only one who opened those doors, toberman was the only one who closed those doors.

[@RedBoothStudios2015]

I remember when I watched this episode. It was during a time when cybermen were actually kinda scary. Ahh good times... good times...

[@shahani6037]

Currently rewatching Classic Who for the second time. First time I binged watched Classic Who was pre-Eleven. I had just gotten into the show after Tennant had exited ...... didn't pay much attention to most of the Classic Who. Now I am back re-watching, and Two is such a gem 😮

[@stephenmurphy2212]

Tomb of the Cybermen is the best Cyberman story ever according to a lot of fans!

[@Cybermat47]

I prefer 'Spare Parts' myself, but this story is definitely one of the best ;)

[@SouthPark333Gaming]

Cybermat47 me too i love spare parts!

[@AndrewChapman]

SP Murphy It's also considered the best story of the Patrick Troughton years.

[@Thomas_of_the_forest]

I think it's somewhat over rated. The Tenth Planet and the Invasion are much better, I think

[@kaledmasterme]

Andrew Chapman That would be Enemy of the World :p

[@mikeehrmantraut3041]

One of the best Doctor who stories ever made. Pat Troughton was probably the best actor to play the Doctor.

[@Chuby123]

The. Best. Doctor. Ever!

[@TheBanishedWind]

Had to be in order to keep the show going. Really proved to all of us that Bill knew what he was doing when he said Pat was the only one in England who could take over as the Doctor.

[@ManicWolf]

Great episode. Such a classic!

[@gary4dawin]

I love Patrick Troughton and Frazer Hines soooo much!!

[@Jaqen-HGhar]

Ah so now I can see where Silence in the Library got it's influence from. I really need to go back and watch Classic Who.

[@bkwalkabout]

This, and "Earthshock"

[@enclavehere.7995]

I forgot how much of a troll the second doctor could be

[@Hedgehoginthetardis]

Best cybermen story without a doubt....or at least definitely in the top 3....

[@theecanmole]

is this perhaps the first time a Dr Who opened a door with a sonic "device"..?

[@acorn1014]

This was actually the first new Doctor Who episode after homosexuality was legalized in the UK.

[@bairaisu]

I love the moment at 2:50 ;P

[@irottaalfurinn2539]

lmao the hand holding scene

[@dswcartoons]

I suggested this about a year ago! Better late than never!

[@michaeldiaz9999]

I love this story. It's my favorite Who story and Two isn't even my favorite Doctor, my favorite Two story and even my favorite Cybermen story of all time. It's so dang good!

[@Joey15811]

The B&W Cyber stories are by far tbe best for the Villians. Earthshock, Rise&Age follow then Attack the rest are all weaker or forgettable or I don't like them. Loathe in the case of Whittakers

[@Praxibetel-Ix]

What you came here for -> 2:50

[@rodimusrider8798]

"Oh there's no danger now unless of course he's afraid. No no he's not afraid" Pertwee is my favourite of the classic Doctors but Troughton is close competition

[@rodimusrider8798]

The Explorer cheers

[@DarthRushy]

Rodimusrocks You must love the Three Doctors then.

[@rodimusrider8798]

DarthRushy Actually I like any multi Doctor story

[@DarthRushy]

Rodimusrocks Really? They're not all that good.

[@rodimusrider8798]

DarthRushy well at this point I've only seen the three doctors the five doctors the day of the doctor and time crash

[@SLPRODUCTIONS]

Favorite Second Doctor Episode

[@TheGalamoth]

That monster subscription ending is more terrifying than the Silence one!

[@mekhimays9599]

Here's my version of Doctor Who Tomb of the Cybermen: The Doctor, Sara and Bret, Ben and Polly, Jamie show their new traveling companion Victoria Waterfield the interior of the TARDIS, though she scarcely believes it can travel through time and space. Victoria questions the doctor on how old he is, to which he answers 450 years, "in Earth terms." The TARDIS takes off from Skaro, heading for a new destination. On the planet Telos, an archaeological expedition uses explosives to uncover the entrance to a city hidden in the side of a mountain. When a member of the expedition touches the huge metal doors, he is electrocuted. Immediately afterward, the TARDIS lands nearby. The doctor, Sara and Bret, Ben and Polly, Jamie, and Victoria arrive on the scene. Captain Hopper, the expedition's pilot, holds them at gunpoint until the Doctor convinces them, through his ability to take control of the situation, that they had nothing to do with the death. John Viner, the assistant to expedition leader Parry, accuses the doctor of being part of a rival expedition. Parry explains that they are here to find the remains of the Cybermen, who apparently died out centuries before. The expedition is funded by Miss Kaftan, who is accompanied by her giant manservant, Toberman, and her colleague, Eric Klieg. Now that he knows the Cybermen are involved, the doctor decides to accompany the group. He uses a small device to unelectrify the doors and employs Toberman's great strength to haul them open. The doctor warns the expedition to be careful, but they march in, paying no heed to his warning.

[@ardent-ace27]

this is such an underrated tardis team!!

[@MarioRossiAncora]

[@velkysportovecful]

[@DeanStrickson]

Seriously? You guys cut it off before the best part!

[@aleahray5660]

What was the best part?

[@DeanStrickson]

Aleah Ray Hmm, I was half asleep when I wrote that, but I swear it quit before the bit where the Doctor accidentally grabs Jaime's hand.

[@aleahray5660]

Oh no it showed that part XD

[@richsc21]

Master of the world.

[@julietfischer5056]

[@edadellal1442]

İ love doctor who

[@RaphaelElijah]

[@billyriddle5285]

Next time do assylum of the daleks and call it making souffles

[@Ballticklerpaul]

season 9 trailer plz

[@rami_ungar_writer]

You will be like us!

[@azurerainbow4637]

Would BBC America show more Classic Doctor Who stories?

[@cobraglatiator]

sucks that BBC on demand is all glitchy and stuff at night for me. : P

[@KingCalumari]

Doctor Who Where can we find full original seasons of the show?

[@LFrench]

Many of them are on DVDs, except a few from the 60s

[@KingCalumari]

Destroyed?! What do you mean?

[@BenTedds]

Twilight Yoshi Back in the day the BBC only had a limited amount of space. So, when an episode broadcast, they wiped the master tape to reuse it without checking first whether a copy had been made or if the episode had been sold overseas. Some episodes are lost forever (The Daleks' Master Plan episode 7) but some could still be out there. However, the soundtracks still exist due to fan recordings and are available for purchase.

[@andu1854]

Back in the 60's, the BBC decided to save money by taping over older shows, not realizing that Dr Who was going to become a cultural phenomenon, hence the reason many of Hartnell and Traughton's episodes are missing and why if you find any of them (I think the most recent story was found in Nigeria of all places) you get your own Dalek, life size..

[@KingCalumari]

David Anderson Ben Tedds Interesting trivia, but its kinda sad so many episodes are gone.....

[@SuperWolsey]

1:54-1:57- Toberman: "Bitch please!"

[@feeno1188]

This episode could have worked with David Tennant or Matt Smith ! 😁

[@senaulger7788]

Dweek

[@feeno1188]

Sena Ülger Nope. Whovian. I prefer William Hartnell instead of David Tennant.

[@nessi4933]

Sena Ülger Leave him alone

[@OrangeKyle91]

The french Timelord Well, you know, Matt Smith quite liked the Second Doctor and modeled certain aspects of his own performance after Patrick Troughton's. :)

[@feeno1188]

OrangeKyle91 I know 😊

[@medievalist]

Is anyone else too scared not to subscribe to the channel after Twelve ordered you to? :P

[@ummwho8279]

Awesome timing! I just built the Tombs from this episode in LEGO! www.flickr.com/photos/ummwho/18625565534/in/dateposted-public/

[@benjaminrobinson7203]

Where can i find classic who? Netflix frankly has a poor collection.

[@benjaminrobinson7203]

Thanks

[@benjaminrobinson7203]

ok, thats a good idea, Thanks

[@mrdoctorgilmore]

You can download all the currently available classic episodes from the BBC store

[@darbexcl]

this is funny

[@minidwarfdude9230]

Why is the only black man on set a servant?

[@julietfischer5056]

It was the 1960s, and thus an unexamined cultural thing.

[@jonathanday6692]

The BBC and ITV had... problems. Attitudes. The writers for DW were relatively enlightened and multicultural, indeed that's the basis behind many stories, so unless a biography reveals otherwise, we can assume it's orders from above.

[@MrColuber]

Instead of being decadently woke, British television was delightfully racist. The good old days.

[@lillianflorence6056]

He agreed to the part
