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.
