Legend of the Cybermen

Legend of the Cybermen is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. As with all Doctor Who spin-off media, its relationship to the televised serials is open to interpretation. It takes place after The Mind Robber and The Wreck of the Titan (audio drama).

The Doctor and Jamie are reunited with Zoe, as the Cybermen attempt to conquer The Land of Fiction.

• Jamie and Zoe had their memories of travelling with the Doctor erased by the Time Lords in The War Games, but retained each of their initial meetings with him (in The Highlanders and The Wheel in Space, respectively.)
• Rob Roy and Nemo return (from City of Spires and The Wreck of the Titan, respectively.)
• The Fifth Doctor met Vlad the Impaler (the inspiration for Dracula) in Son of the Dragon. As mentioned, Vlad was briefly engaged to Erimem.
• The story arc that concludes here was started in City of Spires.
• The Cybermen in the story are the same models used in The Invasion (Doctor Who) and Revenge of the Cybermen.
