Tomb of the Cybermen



If you ever want to know (and God knows why you would) why I love Doctor Who, both old as well as new, then check out this clip. Despite some fraying around the edges of the production values, this is a visually effective story. Plus - crucially - it is a great story as well. And the final words, before the end credits kick in, are iconic. And should be the stuff of legend.* As sad as it sounds, the calm yet disconcerting words send shivers up my spine.

*They should also be the words on the lips of every Nu Labour politician. Actually, scratch that, it is what all Nu Labour politicians do say.

The quote that best expresses the attitude of New Labour is "You belong to us. You shall be like us".

Andrew's right - that's the quote I was referencing. And it is said in a monotone, robotic voice that sounds utterly inhuman.
