The ArcHive Tapes were an audio adaptation of the in-universe biographical elements of the David Banks book Doctor Who: Cybermen. The tapes recount Banks' interpretation of the history of the Cybermen. The series comprises a set of four audiocassettes: Origins of the Cybermen (1989), The Early Cybermen (1989), The Cyber Nomads (1990) and The Ultimate Cybermen (1990).

The series was narrated and produced by David Banks.[1]

Subsequent releases

The Origins of the Cybermen was re-released on CD in 2004 in the Cybermen tin.

In May 2013, the entire ArcHive Tapes were given a CD release, remastered and with new music added, in the form of a 4-disc box set.

David Banks released all the audios on Spotify.[2]

Notes

  • Over the anthology, the narrator refers to the different incarnations of the Doctor as "Doctor (cardinal number)" rather than "the (ordinal number) Doctor".
