The Quest is the Quest - as annoying as RoP "The sea is always right" 😂

Love Image of the Fendhal as it sort of reminds me of a 3rd Doctor story and you could put Pertwees Doctor in it and would work just perfectly lol

60s era Cybermen are extra creepy because they look like a person being treated for third degree burns.

Sean Connery as the Doctor? 😂

100% agree. Those 1960's cybermen are always great. Always good to see Tobias Vaughn and PACKER!!! getting a shout out. I do also enjoy the 80's Cyber Leader and his witty banter.

Did they cut the end where Sarah says to the Doctor "is Sutekh dead" to which the Doctor says "Yes". I'm just curious. Was the Hand of Sutekh all present and correct lol

I go with the Target Novel events as it make sense and nicely ties in with how the Computers is so confused about who it is, just like the Doctor was post regeneration

Why would the Vogons need to use gold as a weapon when they have their poetry?

Have you slightly altered the video ? ... My favorite image now appears at 20:43...? Seems that 12 seconds have vanished from this video...?

I absolutely agree, the '60s was the pinnacle era for the Cybermen. They were at their most effective in every way and all the stories from that era (except Wheel in Space) are solidly cemented among my all-time favourites from the show

The Cyberborg.

Laddie, your voice track is movie-quality. In the sense that I can't hear anything without turning computer volume to the max. And then intro music etc. blow out my eardrums.

Because the 60`s weren`t woke mate

The First Cybermen are the best. I don't watch this new Who anyway. RTD has Lost the plot. Let's be honest the stories are completely rubbish. The Last two Doctors have been terrible. It's a pity. Can it be saved. Have you seen the new U N I T. DOCTOR WHO is FINISHED for now.

It's funny but for me, the best Cybermen will always be those from the (much maligned) Revenge Of The Cybermen. Do very much appreciate Tomb, though - cracking entertaining!

I so agree with you 👍 excellent video

I have watched sixties Doctor Who out of order, thanks to library dvds, and Tomb was my introduction to them, so that's always been my favorite. Need to see the Wheel plotline, don't know if it's at the library. And yes, I have not really seen old Who in order, but the low budget feel just seems more appropriate than some of the current stuff. Just mem

Love modern special effects but the stories seemed so much more meaningful back then ... 🦘

70s cybermen were just a bit shit and 80s cybermen were awful. Mental how much of a downgrade they were from the 60s

When the surviving WHO was marketed to American PBS, in my region in 1985-'86, broadcast in movie format (like 17 Hartnell, and 5 Troughton),....there were no Cybermen episodes in the package. Only the clip of the trail in The War Games, of the enemies The Doctor fought. Three Dalek stories, one Ice Warriors. We had the Target novels, and DWM to see photos. Then the Cybermen stories vs' 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th. When "tomb" was released on video in '92-'3 -wonderful! The JN-T arranged "Years" videos, like the Cyberman one with surviving "Moonbase" and "Wheel" and the six "Invasion" linked by Nic Courtney on VHS....When the fan recon's, and how to obtain them, one of the first I wanted was "Tenth Planet". And the audio's on CD. We now have all offical Cyber' stories, with animation or episodes, except for the "Wheel" We are sooooo fortunate, all the efforts to find, restore, remake, and let fans experience.

A poor man's Borg

The Tenth planet is one of my favourite stories of the classic series. Not really big on new who. It doesn't have the same charm and appeal.

I don‘t know why, but I just couldn‘t get into „boom“ at all, maybe it was, because I watched it with the german dub, but by the half way point I was starting to beg it getting over already. Maybe it will get better on rewatch in english. I did switch to english for the rest of the season. I loved „73 yards“ for its atmosphere and actually leaving a mystery be a mystery with enough to theorize, but not enough to know. I also loved „Dot and Bubble“ and I don‘t think, it would work, if they were actually nice, as then the racism, that now been built up over the entire episode would then either be much more obvious instead of hiding amongst classicism, or actually come out of nowhere.

because they were techno mummies who used to be human, whio still think they are alive nu who they had no dialogue and just stomped about and did almost nothing

They were willing to take risks and still trying things out (also the [proto] Daleks were perfect and could never be improved upon) whereas even the silhouette of the Cybermen was pretty much fair game because they couldn't repeat the first costume because it was apparently a nightmare to work with (they did well in the Capaldi era to come up with a lightweight copy that in almost every conceivable way conveyed the Original) - these quirks also gave us many back stories for what the Cybermen were about and how they diverged without lots of story arcs or continuity errors during the decade which is great.

I loved Silver Nemesis maybe because I saw this as a 13 year old really enjoying dr who again and disappointed in its time slot as it should have been better received (season 25 and 26)

It's their army boots that lace up......... Seriously now the only Dr who worth watching are William Hartnell , Patrick troughton , and possibly Jon pertwee, and yes I saw them first time around

Great video! Loved it. How do you avoid getting copyright struck?

Now when I first saw this I was 7 didn't like what I saw. Now I do love it. Peter Cushing was a bit miffed that he was not regarded or mostly not remembered as being the second actor to play the doctor pitty.

60s cyber men were better in every way. I like them all not struck on modern dipiction. Now I don't mind silver nemesis but I loved all sylvester mccoy story's well his first season was crap but not written for him anyway. Amazing Jon pertwee got no cybermen.

I rather liked the Cybermen throughout entirety of the classic show, there was a progression in the design, essentially becoming more and more technological. In my opinion though they really buggered them up in Nu-Who (as with so many other things), and I don't think they've ever actually explained where the Cybus Cybermen went, or why our universe's Cybermen now look like them.

Favourite Cyberman Story: its between between Sword of Orion and Spare Parts I think.

My favorite Cybermen story is Big Finish's Warzone, a story with the 5th doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and their new comapnion Marc. It's horrifically brutal and one of the most harrowing stories I've ever experienced. It's incredible.

If there is one thing that made the old Who cybermen better, was that they were portrayed as individuals not as mindless stomp in time metal men. It played into the suggestion that there was a person or at least what was left of the person entombed in that outer shell. Beyond that flashy cgi does not make up for a good story

As an 8 year old in 1966 I clearly remember watching the Tenth Planet every Saturday after tea at my friend's house and being absolutely traumatised by the Mondas (walking corpse) Cybermen...still the creepiest version of this classic monster

@thewhoview have you listened to The Great Cyber War from Big Finish? Its in the Audacity box set. Its the Cyber story I never thought we needed. and gives a lot of info regarding the Revenge Cybermen. Plus makes them make way more sense

You are absolutely right 60s Cybermen are the best. You mention the racist tropes of “Tomb” which are true and uncomfortable from a decent modern perspective. However it I would say Toberman (played by the late great Roy Stewart, Live and Let Die and many other great roles), was the hero of the story. He doesn’t say much but puts on a brilliant performance and steals the show. My favourite is Earthshock. Probably because I grew up with 80s Who and just feel that story had all the great scenes and shock moments. I also like how they keep the human aspect through the glass jaw and more emotion which contrary to how they are supposed to be, shows that they are human beings struggling to become robots and suggests that that is just not possible. I also like how whilst the Daleks are supposed to be representations of Nazis and fascism, the Cybermen are extremes of Communism. I agree though 60s Cybermen fitted the times so well, especially considering the Vietnam War and how the US was desperate to break down communism in Europe and Asia, the advancement of computer technology in the 60s. I can well imagine how that would have played into the fear of young minds in that decade. Also when you consider the happy, flower power hippy culture the idea of monster, replacing their organs and becoming so robotic must have been truly terrifying.

Plain and simple the stories were better than the crap they have now

Love the Mondasian Cybermen in 'Tenth Planet.' Another favourite design are those in 'Wheel.' They were elaborate and towered over others.

I watched the Celestial Toymaker as a child, and I found it very spooky and not boring! It made such an impression on me that I recall it well, years later. It was typical of the low budget, simple effects children's programmes that were produced in those days, fantastical, scary and hauntological - and with a claustrophobic element to them. Sapphire and Steel has it, too. I am grateful that these animations are being made, to replace those wonderful lost episodes. I am looking forward to seeing it redone in the widened scope that you reference. Some of the revisioned characters look interesting but not the dolls and Cyril. Cyril was based on the Billy Bunter character from a programme that was being screened at the time, which worked well as a shorthand for him being a sneaky little git!

I really hated all the metallic stamping of the new Cybermen. It emphasised how robotic the new ones are. The older ones , with their weird sibilant voices are much more alien and frightening, with that element of body horror lacking in the new ones.

The stealth Cybermen were far more creepy

If you like the Tenth Planet Cybermen, you really need to listen to the Big Finish story Space Parts. It's one of their best - it gves a backstory to Tenth Planet and is set on Mondas, in the last remaining city on a dying world where there's a plan on how to survive and a black market in body parts....

I think the Tenth Planet ones had the best lines too. They weren't conquering monsters, they just wanted to survive, and have stripped themselves of all their humanity in pursuit of that. "Our brains are just like yours except that certain weaknesses have been removed. You call them emotions, do you not?" "Care? No, why should I care? There are people all over your planet dying and you do not care about them" Way better than the ludicrous Cybusmen going delete delete.

Agree about the 60's cybermen. They had a clear and consistent threat. I hated the 70's and 80's cybermen. They were just silly villains with way too much emotion. In the new series there have been mixed results, but at least they brought back their emotionless simple desire to convert rather than conquer. The Capaldi era I think really got them right as did the Whitaker era.

I loved the Tenth Planet cybermen. Of all the versions, they looked the most like their concept: human beings who had had their body parts extensively replaced by machinery. Ironically, the small budget lead to what I think is the most effective costume design: these Cybermen still have what are recognisably human parts (such as their hands) and have a bulky life-support system. They're not designed as war machines, as th elater variants were. The cloth face immediately makes the viewer imagine what might be underneath it. The voices are eerie and recognisably human, yet inhuman: they are exactly what you'd expect, synthesised and mad efrom pre-existing human speech, so you get the strange intonations: not quite machine, not quite human either. The later ones tended to be much more like robots.

Sorry mate but Pluto is NOT a dwarf star, it is a dwarf planet.

a) In the 60's they addressed a very real ongoing discussion about replacing yourself with artificial appendages which people were afraid of (hello progress) and b) they were treated seriously and not like a cartoon. The Davies Era Cybermen had a catchphrase (DELETE) which made them childish, their design was not threatening at all (felt like a toy... which I think is the point) and then they had some very bad stories or stories where they were jobbed or part of other groups of monsters which dropped their lustre a bit. Nightmare in Silver tried to do better things with them but wasn't a great story so that failed. They were however really good in the Capaldi finish except they did one last story after it which was appalling and therefore stole it's thunder. I didn't see them during Jodie to be honest as I'd stopped watching and I've never wasted my time catching up but I saw there were Gallifreyan Cybermen and they looked so goofy...

I Love the tomb cybermen the most

Doctor Who was better in the 60s.
