Cybermen - The Early Years |
Video |
The Cybermen: Ruthless, logical and immune to disease, with a disposition
as cold as the South Pole where the Doctor first encountered them. From
their first appearance on the 8th October 1966, the Cybermen established
themselves as firm favourites with Doctor Who viewers everywhere. Not suprisingly
they became a familiar adversary throughout the show's history. Now Colin
Baker, Doctor No. 6 recalls the early years of the Cybermen terror with
interviews, clips and full episodes.
