2nd Doctor

[Deputy-Assistant-Second-Prime]

What was the best monster/villain in the Troughton era?

[Metarock Sam]

I think The Cybermen steal the show for this particular era closely followed up by Yeti, Ice Warriors Even the Krotons !!! PLus the Daleks did quite well too.

[Deputy-Assistant-Second-Prime]

IMO, the Cybermen.

[Metarock Sam]

Well some of trhe best cybermen eps are in this series. Tomb of the Cybermen, Invasion ,Moonbase etc.

What was the best monster/villain in the Troughton era?

The Cyberman... of course...
The Tomb of the Cyberman was marvellously creepy...

[creed462]

Cybermen most definently.

THough the Ice warriors are a close second

[Deputy-Assistant-Second-Prime]

The Cyberman... of course...
The Tomb of the Cyberman was marvellously creepy...

The Moonbase and The Invasion had some pretty creepy scenes too.

[creed462]

Seen the Invasion, but not Moonbase is that where they get Zoe

[Deputy-Assistant-Second-Prime]

Seen the Invasion, but not Moonbase is that where they get Zoe

The Moonbase is in Season 4 with Polly, Ben, and Jamie.

Parts 2 & 4 are included in the Lost in Time Collection.

Zoe was introduced in Season 5 The Wheel in Space, parts 3 & 6 of which are also included in the Lost in Time Collection.

[Metarock Sam]

Ah Zoe. Now she was a great character particular with her ability of total recall. She does a very good job in lots of episodes particularly in the Seeds of Death when she memorises an entire map.

[creed462]

Shewas a neat charecter

[Rowana]

I liked her. She worked with Jamie really well. It was great to see them together. ^_^ The end of War Games always makes me so sad.

[creed462]

Yes knowleadge and brout force what a combo

[Metarock Sam]

Seeing this as a good time to revive this thread since I should hopefully be getting the Mind Robber on DVD soon.
Oh heres a nasty fact. There are 3 Troughton stories left that are full and have not been released on DVD yet. They are The Dominators, The Krotons and The War Games. What a coincidence as they are all from the same season !!! .

[Mr_Fantastic]

They are available on VHS, but obviously we are waiting for a DVD release. The Restoration Team is the group that restores and produces the older episodes on DVD, and that takes a long time to restore, and they have to wait for a commission from the BBC to make them. The Krotons is also the first Robert Holmes story, so you would think that they would look at that for a DVD release...
