[QUOTE="Prince Atom, post: 3148659, member: 6046"] There's a Doctor Who Confidential disc in the Compleat First Series boxed set. I haven't watched it yet (I am ashamed!). A lot of the early Cybermen episodes are missing. The Tenth Planet is missing the last episode, although they have reconstructed it with the audio track and production stills. The Tomb of the Cybermen showed up in Hong Kong in the early 90s. The Invasion is missing episodes 1 and 4 out of its 8 episodes, although I've got a VHS edition with Nicholas Courtney narrating the missing bits. I don't know about the Moonbase and the Wheel in Space: I haven't seen them, but I suspect one or the other is entirely missing. The complete episodes start with 1975's Revenge of the Cybermen, in which a mighty army of three* threatens the Doctor, Sarah Jane, and Harry. I prefer the Cybermen in the 80s, starting with Earthshock, in which [spoiler]the Cybermen crash a freighter into Mesozoic Earth, killing Adric in the process[/spoiler], and continuing through The Five Doctors, Attack of the Cybermen, and Silver Nemesis -- although I think their performances in The Five Doctors and Nemesis are rather lackluster. As I have said, Lady Peineforte's gold-tipped arrows tend to overload their circuits rather than suffocate them, resulting in a spectacular but improbable explosion. Incidentally, the line "You will become like us" was also used in Tomb of the Cybermen. I find it infinitely creepier than either "Resistance is futile" or even "Exterminate!" It's also a reason that I find the Cybermen better enemies than the Borg: They get the point across with an economy of words. I can't wait for this Friday! TWK * The BBC was strapped for cash all through the 70s. Thus, they could afford only 4 new Cybermen costumes -- the Leader and 3 others -- and used them over and over for the entire story.
