Spare Parts (audio drama)
Spare Parts is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.[1] Spare Parts was partially adapted into the television episodes "Rise of the Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel" although, in actuality, the two stories bear little resemblance to each other.Uncredited: Marc Platt was reluctant to write a Cyberman story, as he felt their plausibility as a convincing villain over the history of the series had declined too markedly.Marc Platt has stated that Eric Krailford, mentioned several times though never appearing, is intended to be the human who will eventually become Cyberman Krail from The Tenth Planet.[2][3] Writing for Screen Rant Mark Donaldson called the episode a "exceptional audio drama that remains one of Big Finish's finest hours, two decades on from its original release.
