Or you can rent each disc individually:
The episodes on the two disks are so much cleaner and brighter than the VHS edition, and the use of Flash animated episodes to replace the two missing pieces in the story enables a smooth transistion from episode to episode. The extras are varied too. The story plot flows well, and the casting of Kevin Stoney as the villain Tobias Vaughn is inspired. If you enjoyed the Cybermen episodes in the new series you will like this story, even if there is stock footage of old missiles and even of a V2 supposed to be a Russian rocket!
Really excellent 60s Who. The two animated episodes are absolutely terrific - shame the animators didn't get the chance to work with more Cybermen (who arrive in the later, existing episodes). Very good extras, too. Yeah, top stuff - Maxumum Who!
