TALES OF THE TARDIS - EARTHSHOCK

Last night, I watched this special from Tales of the TARDIS - Earthshock. It's the 6th story from season 19 of Doctor Who, starring the 5th Doctor (Peter Davison) and his three companions Nyssa, Tegan, and Adric.
The TARDIS team end up on a future Earth (2526) and they have a deadly encounter with the Cybermen.
These are my favourite Cybermen in design and appearance as I dislike the re-tooled versions created by RTD. as they had no originality to them, not like the 70's and 80's ones had.
This is a very memorable story as it is also Adric's last story as the character was killed by the Cybermen at the end and they had a silent title sequence with the image of his broken star badge.
I actually did watch this originally when it first came out on the BBC back in 1982, and I also had the VHS and DVD copy as well.
This is one of my favourite 5th Doctor's storylines as well.
I shall rate this a score of 7/10.
