The Tomb of the Cybermen is the first serial of the fifth season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was originally broadcast in four weekly parts on BBC1 from 2 to 23 September 1967.
The TARDIS lands on the planet Telos, where the Second Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria meet Parry, the leader of an expedition to find the remains of the Cybermen, who died out five centuries before.
With two members dead, Parry decides to call off the expedition, only to be informed by pilot Captain Hopper that someone has sabotaged the rocket ship, meaning they are stranded until repairs are completed. Klieg opens the hatch and the team descend, leaving Kaftan and Victoria behind.
Kaftan drugs Victoria and closes the hatch, trapping the group. As the Cybermen emerge, Klieg reveals that he and Kaftan belong to the Brotherhood of Logicians, a cult with great intelligence but no physical power. He believes the Cybermen will be grateful for their revival and will ally themselves with the Brotherhood to conquer the universe.
When Victoria awakens, she, Hopper and co-pilot Callum mount a rescue, using smoke grenades to distract the Cybermen. After a long battle, the Doctor reseals the tombs and sets up counter measures to ensure the Cybermen will not be revived again.
