Return of the Cybermen



Audio - Sword of Orion
Sword of Orion
(Nicholas Briggs)
 The cover for "Sword of Orion", the second Eighth Doctor audio drama that will be released at the end of February has now been finalised.

 Unexpectedly the image used for the Cyberman is that used during the Second Doctor's era rather than the more familiar later versions. The reason for this as announced by Big Finish Productions is:
"As can be seen, the Cyberman image used is a slight variation on the versions of the silver giants that were seen in the TV story, "Invasion". Co-producer Gary Russell opted for the "Invasion" Cybermen rather than the more familiar "Earthshock" versions as he felt that they conveyed a greater sense of power and looked less like men in suits. The voices of the "Sword of Orion" Cybermen however, will sound similar to the "Earthshock" Cybermen but slightly more mechanical."
 "Sword of Orion" it is written and directed by Nicholas Briggs and was recorded 16th -17th May 2000. This story will see the Cybermen making their long awaited return to the Doctor Who fold.
