Spare Parts (audio story) was released in July 2002 and saw a return to Mondas for Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor and his companion Nyssa played by Sarah Sutton. This story was also of much inspiration for two 2007 Doctor Who television stories, so much so it received a note in the credits of both The Age of Steel and Rise of the Cybermen.

Publisher's summary

"I'm not even sure they are people by the end. They’re just so many tinned left-overs..."

On a dark frozen planet where no planet should be, in a doomed city with a sky of stone, the last denizens of Earth's long-lost twin will pay any price to survive, even if the laser scalpels cost them their love and hate and humanity.

And in the mat-infested streets, round about tea-time, the Doctor and Nyssa unearth a black market in second-hand body parts and run the gauntlet of augmented police and their augmented horses.

And just between the tramstop and the picturehouse, the Doctor's worst suspicions are confirmed: the Cybermen have only just begun, and the Doctor will be, just as he always has been, their saviour...
