Doctor Who and the Cybermen was a bit disappointing as it isn't recent Doctor Who episodes but some of the Patrick Troughton ones from the 1980s.
I also thought it would be in the form of a radio play. Instead it is one voice, an actress reading all the parts and “doing voices” not that well. It is also a read aloud version of a book of the TV series and not terribly well adapted or written, to my mind.
There are a few sound effects, but nothing really exciting. Doctor Who and the Cybermen failed the in the car test: children were talking amongst themselves within ten minutes. Might be OK as a bed time story gadget for children who are absolutely Doctor Who mad, otherwise a bit of a let down in my humble opinion.
