has MM1 - The Tomb of the Cybermen 1, it's been 17 years since I first saw this story, but the most thrilling aspect of it, still, is the novelty of the fact that I can see it, MM2 - The Tomb of the Cybermen,  2, the sets in The Tomb of the Cybermen are devastatingly impressive, especially the main control room where much of the action takes place, but also, as we see for the first time in Episode Two, the tombs themselves, and MM3 - The Tomb of the Cybermen 3, let's get the lesser aspects of Episode Three out of the way right now.
