The TARDIS rematerializes in the future on the planet Telos where the time travelers meet an earth archaeological expedition led by professor Parry but financed by Kaftan and Klieg from the Brotherhood of Logicians.  They are excavating a tomb where the last Cybermen are rumored to have been buried.  The deranged Klieg, who seeks allies in his plans for world domination, revives the Cybermen.  But the tomb are a trap meant to provide the Cybermen with victims to convert into Cybermen.  The party escapes, but the Cybermen retaliate by sending after them Cybermats, little metallic creatures capable of homing in on brain waves.  The Doctor jams the Cybermats.  Kaftan and Klieg attempt to force the Cybermen to help them, but are killed.  Toberman, Kaftan's giant servant whose arms have been converted, destroys the Cybercontroller, enabling the humans to escape again.  The Cybermen are refrozen by the Doctor.

Episode 3 - The scene where Toberman is lifted up in the air by the Cybercontroller features an embarrassingly large and painfully visible safety harness.
Episode 3 - Just after our heroes close the hatch on a Cyberman who then punches at it, we see the same Cyberman appear at the bottom of the ladder with the sleeve of his costume obviously giving way around the shoulder.
Episode 3 - During the same scene, a mysterious human voice goes "Ooooooooh" over the soundtrack. (It's not any of the characters on-screen, and it doesn't sound like the Cyberman.)
Episode 3 - The end of Klieg's X-ray laser flies off when he first fires it. Clearly they don't make futuristic weapons like they used to.
Episode 4 - When the hatch is being closed for good, Jamie stumbles and nearly knocks Victoria over.
Episode 3 - When Toberman lifts up the Cybercontroller, it's all too obviously an empty costume.
