- This one is destined to be a classicIt's hard to believe that "Silver Nemesis" got less than 5 stars average rating. This is an exceptionally good show, especially when you consider that it comes from the Sylvester McCoy era, where most shows were real stinkers! The lovely and attractive Ace is certainly a welcome addition, and the contrasting dialog between her and the Silver Nemesis sent chills up my spine. When Ace says, "Catch you later" to the Silver Nemesis, it's both funny and scary because we know Ace didn't know what to say. ... Read More

- Silver SillinessAww, bless.
The Cybermen were trotted out one final time in the "original" series, to mark the 25th (that's Silver, folks) anniversary of the show.
Sadly, the story showed a distinct decline in quality since they had previously been shown in Colin Baker's Attack of the Cybermen. Now appearing to sport some sort of weird baseball-mitt hands, they made an impressive entrance, and then fell over and died rather a lot. How disheartening to find the Cybermen, supposedly the "stuff of nightmares" ... Read More

- I've never seen so many cybermen get destroyed beforeThe Silver Nemesis combines the struggle for total power between a 16th century Lady, a group of post-war Naxis and a large fleet of cybermen. The effect is a runaround story with the Nemesis constantly swapping hands until the Doctor finally manges to take take it back. The cybermen getting destroyed in batches shows their weakness but is there for "showing off" special effects. Adding elements of history, ambition, and the possible destruction of earth, this story, for the "25th Anniversary", marks the (possible?) ... Read More

- One of the better examples of late '80s WhoBy the late '80s, Doctor Who had long since degenerated into little more than juvenile pantomime with silly stories, ultra-camp performances, awful dialogue and casting decisions that were nothing short of criminal (witness Bonnie Langford's tenure as the Doctor's assistant and guest appearences by the likes of Ken Dodd).
That said however, this was one of the better stories from the Sylvester McCoy era. While not on a par with the classic Pertwee and Tom Baker adventures, the fact that it was shot largely ... Read More

- Great - The Stuff of Comic BooksWhy moan about plot, poor scripts, etc. Silver Nemesis is pure comic book adventure. The Doctor and Ace are a great double act, neither of them worried about getting dirty or wet when diving for cover during the battle scenes. OK, the battle scenes in Silver Nemesis may not be on the scale of a Hollywood blockbuster, but remember, it was only a three episode BBC TV programme with a limited budget. Besides, who wants to see blood and guts all over the screen, AND it was also pre-watershed family viewing.
