The Black Hole	The Age of Endurance

The Isos Network was the fourth and final story of the second season of The Early Adventures. It was written by Nicholas Briggs and featured the Second Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon, both voiced by Frazer Hines, and Zoe Heriot voiced by Wendy Padbury.

Publisher's summary

The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe are leaving Earth after having successfully defeated a Cyberman invasion... The Cyber-fleet is still exploding... But something is escaping through the mass of vaporising debris.

In hot pursuit, the Doctor and his friends find themselves drawn to a mysterious planet where strange beasts slither through the streets of a deserted city... And an old enemy lurks beneath the streets.

As a force of heavily-armed aliens arrives, a battle to save the entire galaxy from invasion begins.

Notes

This story was recorded at The Moat Studios.

Continuity

For the three travellers, this story takes place a few days after the Cyber-invasion of Earth. (TV: The Invasion)
Jamie is reminded of the London underground and the Yeti. (TV: The Web of Fear)
Jamie remembers encountering another Cyber-Controller in their tombs on Telos. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen)
Jamie would remember facing the Cybermen on Isos when he encountered the Sixth Doctor. (AUDIO: Last of the Cybermen)
The Cyber-Controller accesses the repository of cyber-experiences, (PROSE: Iceberg) and sees the Doctor as a white-haired old man. (TV: The Tenth Planet) This reference raises additional questions as to the decade that the UNIT stories are set i, as the First Doctor's encounter with the Cybermen takes place in 1986, yet this story takes place only days after the Second Doctor's latest encounter with them. (TV: The Invasion)

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.
