Finally arriving in [[1925]] to visit the set of [[Metropolis (film)|Metropolis]], the Doctor was surprised to find that [[Gustav Fröhlich]] has not been cast as the film's male lead, and horrified that [[Cyberman (Monsters in Metropolis)|a Cyberman]] was being used in place of the iconic robotic woman, under the guise of a "Machine Man" operated by [[Dieter Jovanovic]]. He intially assumed the Cyberman was controlling Jovanovic, and his suspicions appeared to be confirmed when the Cybermen killed the lead actor of the movie and escaped. He tracked him down together with Jovanovic, but he was surprised and ambushed by him: it was actually Jovanovic who had taken control of a dispersed and alone Cyberman, whose humanity was resurfacing. Jovanovic intended to use him to stop the production of a movie he felt "unpatriotic", because it promoted peace. The Doctor was able to break Jovanovic's grip on the Cyberman, and disabled him out of pity after they watched together the finished film.

Making good to his promise, the Doctor showed up to Beckett's funeral at Fond Farewell, when an avatar of the Professor's consciousness was also in attendance. He got suspicious when the Professor didn't recognize either him or Sasha, so he investigated into Fond Farewell suspecting foul play from one of his enemies. However, it turned out that the wife of the Professor asked to remove from his husband's mind the memory of their last months in order to forget his cheating, but the discarded memories took hold of the Attendants robots and started attacking people. The Doctor confronted the wife and convinced to let the Professor regain his memory, so they could have a real goodbye. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fond Farewell (audio story)|Fond Farewell]]'') | |||
