The ArcHive Tapes (audio anthology)

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.

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.

Notes

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