The ArcHive Tapes, later released as The ArcHive Tapes: Cybermen - The Hypothesised History Of The Cyber Race, 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. The series was narrated and produced by David Banks.[1]
