    They went from being foiled by a stairwell, to hovering, to flat out FLYING…and then there was that weird episode in David Tennent’s era. But other than that…they really haven’t changed.

    I've watched the ""Wheel in Space" for the first time because of the 3D rendering animation (recreation) of episodes 1,2, 4, 5 by Iz Skinner. I bought the two DVD set, "Lost in Time" which contains episodes 3 and 6. I am not at all a Dr. Who scholar so enjoyed it for what it was with a few questions. It did seem to drag on and the captain of the Wheel was willfully ignorant at best. The use of the "prisoner-esque" balloon to give birth to the Cybermen was ludicrous. The other characters were fine as was the unraveling of the plot. Honestly, I am glad I have sen these rare episodes in such a modern way.

    You occasionally speak of parallel evolution within the same universe context. Is the Planet Mobius, specifically South Island a possible contender? It could be argued that a typical Robotnik Badnik is more Dalek than Cyberman, however those things blur the lines. I would like your thoughts.

    My understanding was always that the conversion had taken centuries. It started in a small way with a few innoticeable augmentations here and there. As the race slowly deteriorated, more augmentations were made. The differences between stages of the process were so slight that no generation seemed radically different from what went before, but over the course of hundreds of years and many generations, their whole physiology was changed. The loss of emotions, I always thought, would also be a gradual process as pain and pleasure were no longer possible, the emotions that went with them withered away. Well, that was just what I thought.

    The largest letdown is the prawn when it gets its full sized reveal. Then there are the occasional dodgy effects like the wall prop that was already cut out for K9 to shoot it out as a barrier and some of the model work space shots. Most of the characters were generic and unforgettable but the Professor was good as were Leela and the Doctor and of course K9

    I like and prefer Gerry Davis original script, to the finished programme and it has the planet of gold in but unnamed and only appearing in episode 3 of the original script and also the planet of gold is populated by human prospectors instead of aliens. I also having heard the Big Finish version of the original script several times it is certainly an improvement on the finished show.

I do prefer David Banks and Mark Hardy as Cyberleader and Cyberlieutenant to Christopher Robbie and Melville Jones in Revenge of the Cybermen, I do enormously like Gerry Davis original script version for Return of the Cybermen to Revenge of the Cybermen, and also the asteroid of gold having human miners stranded on it is awesome too and the asteroid been unnamed was the case unlike in the finished serial.

    The most brilliant thing about Scorpius is that he was both a villain inside John’s head and an exterior enemy and menace at the same time. Constantly maneuvering and constantly playing three-dimensional chess, and even demeaning himself as a captive again and again, always seeking the prize - which ironically was Galactic peace.

    IF i where to try and fuse the two together. I would do it like this. In Spare Parts it is HEAVILY implied that there where other cities on Mondas but that they lost contact with them over time. So either they died or they left Mondas. Well i would write the "canon" like this. The Cybermen originated on Mondas, that is their origin point. At the beginning after Mondas had drifted out of the solar system, they began with cyberconversion small in the beginning but much more expansive later. During the time of early cyber conversion some Mondasians left Mondas that ship would later be trapped in the black hole. Even later as resources began to get scares and there wasn´t enough resources to have the all the cybermen on Mondas survive. Other cybermen left on a colony ship. They landed on Telos, a civilization that had already started to experiment with cybernetics. Some Telosians made an alliance with the Cybermen, to conquer the rest of the Telos and convert the rest of the population fully into cybermen. The two populations became one and started a divergent path of cybermen. As Mondas was overloaded by absorbing too much energy and disintegrated the effect hit those of Telos to. Alot of their machinery that sheared a link with Mondas broke down and was destroyed. Same with alot of the cybermen died, only a few survived and their cyberleader thought of the plan in tomb of the cybermen. That´s how i would merge the two.

    There was a reference to Doctor Who in one of the 80s Transformer comics. Apparently in the UK demand for Transformer comics storylines exceeded supply, so we got lots of adventures that the US didn't get. One of the stories was reproduced in an 80s Transformers annual and I recall a transformer in plane mode scanning through TV channels - random dialogue from both Doctor Who and Corrie could be seen in speech bubbles coming from the plane's TV

    It's a shame Chib's run was so lacklustre because the "Cyber Masters" are a genuinely interesting step forward. I don't think Chibnall understands the body horror aspects of the Cybermen, however. When you are cut up in order to fit inside a Cyberman, the potential to regrow organs and limbs is somewhat counterproductive to fitting into a Cyberman. These aren't suits like Iron Man, these are mechs piloted by a brain in a nutrient tank, that is why they are scary.
