The Time Museum was a Second Doctor comic story published in TV Comic Annual 1969.

Summary[]

The TARDIS brings the Second Doctor, John and Gillian to the Time Museum of an ancient civilisation. Among the artefacts, they find what they think is a model of a Cyberman. It activates and calls others. The museum is a trap that will enable the Cybermen to kill their enemies. The Doctor destroys the Cybermen and one alerts others that will come. Finding Trod shells, they hid inside while more Cybermen come to look. Once they are at the far end of the museum they escape to the TARDIS.

Characters[]

Worldbuilding[]

Exhibits in the museum include a ray cannon used in First Century Universe War, a mini rocket from 2150, hollow models of the Trods and a space shuttle that orbited Earth in 1968.

Notes[]

Whether intentional or not, the title is a play on The Space Museum.

Continuity[]

The First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright, and Vicki previously visited a Space Museum filled with universal history, where the First Doctor hid inside an empty Dalek like how the space travellers hide within empty Trods. (TV: The Space Museum)

Cyberman stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.
