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 inspiration for two 2006 Doctor Who television stories, so much so it received a note in the credits of both DW: The Age of Steel and DW: 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...

Plot
to be added

Cast

 * The Doctor - Peter Davison
 * Nyssa - Sarah Sutton
 * Yvonne Hartley - Kathryn Guck
 * Dad - Paul Copley
 * Thomas Dodd - Derren Nesbitt
 * Sisterman Constant - Pamela Binns
 * Frank Hartley - Jim Hartley
 * Mrs Ginsberg - Ann Jenkins
 * Doctorman Allan - Sally Knyvette
 * Cybermen / Cyber-Commander Zheng - Nicholas Briggs

Continuity

 * This story takes place at the Cybermen's beginnings, as many of its events lead into those of DW: The Tenth Planet.
 * Cyber-Commander Zheng would later return for a cameo appearance in BFA: The Reaping. That story depicted him as still being operational in September 1984. It is therefore logical to assume that he was on Mondas during the events of DW: The Tenth Planet, which took place in December 1986.
 * The Doctor's desire to eliminate the Cybermen from history is rather incoherent, since having no Cybermen means not only that Adric might not die (DW: Earthshock), but also that Zoe may never start travelling with the Second Doctor and Jamie (DW: The Wheel in Space), and alter his first regeneration (DW: The Tenth Planet).

For the Doctor

 * Spare Parts occurs after ST: The Eternity Contract
 * Spare Parts occurs before ST: Confabula
