Review's Roundup...
Gallifrey Exile has One Tomb Many Cybermen, The Tomb of the Cybermen is the first complete Second Doctor story known to exist, the first story to feature Victoria Waterfield as a full-fledged Companion, and the only complete story with Victoria known to exist. It is also the first complete Cyberman story, given that their debut story The Tenth Planet and their return in The Moonbase both are incomplete.

It is also one of the best Doctor Who stories, and certainly one of the best Second Doctor and Cyberman stories around. ...
