Revenge of the Cybermen: Highlights | Doctor Who 

* Sladen *

@@adrianh332 thanks. So sad what happened to her.

@@lionguardkujenga676 Definitely, cancer totally sucks.

@@adrianh332 I know. I hope I don't catch it in the future, that would be scary. I'd want the Doctor to cheer me up.

This story is not amazing, by any definition, but you're right about Liz Sladen. Everyone misses her.

It never fails to amuse me how these futuristic programs still think they'd be using the technology of the day centuries into the future, even red dwarf which was the 80s and 90s still thought cassette and VHS tapes would still be in use.

plus it goes "tweet tweet woodle woodle" as he pulls bits off the reel to hide evidence... not sure how it makes this sound as it just being pulled off a reel, not thru any head... oh well...

​@@user-et6pj4db9sI'm not being insulting or anything but that point of view is a little naive. The programme is a situation comedy with some satire thrown in. The " crumminess of having cheap twentieth century technology in the future" is a knowing wink to the presumptuousness of making a future-set science fiction programme in the twentieth century on a budget that wouldn't have covered the catering bill for an episode of the original Star Trek show. Even so, they did really well and I've always liked the programme. Again, no insult intended but we need to bear some things in mind before reacting too critically. 9:19

They didn't know the doctor was there until they saw his TARDIS in Earthshock episode 2

Of course, there are multiple Cybermen, each from a different planet. Mondas, Telos, Planet 14. But eventually they all become the Doctor's enemy. He's the one guy they can't upgrade.

I like how in all these future sci fi shows they use tech that's behind what we have today.

Come on, it's Sarah Jane Smith! If you can't trust that face, what can you trust?

Why does the planet of Gold not get raided by millions of earthlings? (For all its silliness this is one of my favourite stories).

@@johnbower7452 we are insane now with our technology

@@edmund184 Apparently it went away somewhere and people forgot it existed. Although it'd have to go very far and very fast to get away from gold hunters. So it'd have to have a motor. And nobody would have to be nearby to follow it. And... oh, my. My friend's and I would go over these points in great depth in the school playground on Monday mornings. Ah, for the days when a sci fi show could be just for fun.

He was brought in to cover any action scenes in case the new Doctor wasn't up to fights and suchlike. As Tom Baker proved more than capable, Harry's role got redefined and eventually phased out. A shame because he was a good character and a good actor.

He was no Jamie or Steven that's for certain.

@@minicle426 He's more assertive in Terror of the Zygons. But really the make companion's role was always to do the action stuff, which is why JP didn't need a male TARDIS crew member. Also he had army back up.

At fifty six I remember the doctor who serious from when I was a kid the best doctor who years were John Pertwee and Tom Baker those were the best years of the Doctor who serious Peter Davis of the early eighties wasn't bad after that the best years of Doctor who passed.The thing is the early 21st century revival of the serious was a disaster then again the BBC should not have tried to revive the serious when most of the original people behind the serious were either dead or retired in a way the failure of the attempted revival of Doctor who in the first decade of this century mirror's the decline of the BBC itself and its lack of new ideas.

Total babe

👨🏼‍🚀❤️‍🔥💫🍾

The Savage was better!

Sarah. The fourth Doctor jus called her Sarah.

She looks great in this outfit

Harry Sullivan is an imbecile, and we will love him forever.

Because it's cool. Because HArry nearly killed them all, and thinks he's a hero, and the Doctor clues him into the fact that he isn't.

I have loads on vhs but I don't watch much of the newer stuff.Is this bad of me

@@cbandhamradiostations4845 Not at all my friend. I prefer Classic Who to modern. Possibly because of childhood nostalgia but I’m always watching the 60s-80s episodes.

@@pearljam619 Thank you Yeah I love the old stuff and the tacky props bade from what they could find where actually work went into it.

@@cbandhamradiostations4845 I was going to take issue with you over "tacky" props, but I'm looking at a Cyberman covered in vacuum cleaner hoses as I type this.

In Classic Who the 60's Cybermen didn't have an allergy to Gold. However in this story the Doctor suggests that Gold as a non-corrosive metal could coat the Cybermen Respiratory system and clog their breathing filters suffocating them. Later stories seem to imply it coats their circuitry and causes a dead short, weakening, disabling or killing them. Gold when used in the correct way would be incredibly helpful to electronics, although a metal with a higher heat tolerance would likely still be more ideal.

Retro techno no no. If only they’d knew?

Maybe gold spraypaint disolved styrofoam and foam rubber costumes . Oh no

What about Doctor #2's "glitter gun"?

Wish the voices for the Cybermen were a bit better though. It's their equivalent of 'Day of the Daleks'.

I think that the Cybermen 🤖 are the greatest of all the Dr's villains and Sarah Jane is by far my favourite companion

compared to a dalek maybe.

Yeah, that was good stuff

That's cos new who is lazy and just wants the hard stuff skipped by using the sonic for everything which was a problem eventually with the Baker era too so much so that when Davison came along it deliberately got destroyed so the doctor as a character had to go back to thinking his way out of things which again happened with Capaldi after gross overuse by Tennant and Smith. But now the new guy has another one it's just the same shit over and over again the sonic has become way too much of a go to device when the doctor does actually have other tools he's shown over the years.

Huh. I was just thinking 'amazing set job they did'.

Fourth Doctor Companions: Jamie McCrimmon and Victoria Waterfield and Zoe Heriot, Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan

You like what you like mate. I'm with you on The Talons of Weng-Chiang.

@@hopebgood cheers mate!

it’s got a lot of the ingredients for a successful who story and I agree it mostly succeeds with bringing back the cybermen but I could never get over the daft look of the vegans and the silly gold weakness. The charm of the cast with marter, s laden and baker shines throughout.

@@wyrdwik4610 haha for sure. I think the vogans were yet another element of Dr Who on screen which ‘got away’ with the face masks etc due to the quality of the TV we all had in the days when it was first broadcast. Like so many stories from the first four Doctors, in the words of Terry in Fawlty Towers “what the eye doesn’t see, the chef gets away with”….. things like the Zarbi and Menoptera years before, etc, looked more effective on a small grainy black and white tv screen. Today of course with our huge tv screens and cleaned up optimised film quality, we see glaringly the famous shaky sets and the outfits of the creatures and foes etc, all too clearly, the Vogans certainly suffer for that! As you say though, a lot of the ingredients for a good story. The gold thing though, such a cop out as you say. It was never worse than in silver nemesis, it got to the point that you could fire something gold with a catapult etc. cheers. Keep the faith.

@@THIRV People ridicule Dr Who's effects and sets, but they were of their time and the stories were well written and made. But "Serious" programmes are given an easy ride when they fall prey to the same problems. Nobody mentions the shoddy toy rats that were used in Doomwatch, or the moment Brian Blessed slammed someone into a wall of the imperial palace in I Claudius and the wall very noticeably wobbled. Although if Brian Blessed slammed someone into the Great Wall of China, that would probably wobble.

I think Mary Tamm was the most beautiful. She would probably be described as a toffee nosed bird. If I remember my 70s British slang somewhat correctly

I'm not disagreeing but my favorites of the original series are Sara Jane, Romona (Mary Tamm) and Peri. With the new series I pick Dr. Martha Jones and Amy Pond

ONE of the prettiest companions. Peri (to this day) is the sexiest; Clara hottest (love those big brown eyes); and Amy is still in the conversation if they didn’t have her in all those baggy clothes.

I raise you Liz Shaw.

@@16rumpoleToffee nosed for sure, but I found that to be part of her charm 😂

I'm sure he spent a lot of time tripping.

I think Tom Baker, Sarah and Harry were a great Tardis crew as well. This is one of my fave eras. The plot is a bit crap tbh but I still love it for some reason. 😀

🤔🤭😂🤣🤣

Cyber dildo at 0:45 !

This is a different branch of cyberman, they start become more human-like.

@@Unit-3475 Human-like equals boring-like. Bring back the original Cybermen.

I thought the sets looked familiar

On The Genesis of the Daleks DVD commentary Tom Baker talks about how many things Ridley Scott and others ripped off from DW.

Yeah, you're almost right... almost. The actual running order of this arc is... 1. The Ark in Space 2. The Sontaran Experiment 3.Genesis of the Daleks 4. Revenge of the Cybermen 5. Terror oh the Zygons, (in which we lose Harry). But thanks for playing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dunno, I prefer the Troughton era Cybermen more. Same with his Doctor.

Troughton my best and them cyber men ,

@@lillianflorence6056 All cybermen are bad ass 🤠🤟💯👍

Old fashion pretty.....not contemporary Hooker Pretty.

@@STho205 LOL! I'm sooooo stealing that comment.

For me Tom then Jon then Trougton. Hartnell was just unlikable. I hated Colin’s doctor. Davison and Mckoy were just there

He's okay, but frankly I find he gets overhyped by the fanbase. 🤷‍♂️

You can find them on the Doctor Who Confidential RU-vid channel. They've been releasing something even this week.

Needed better voices though, and less emotion.

Perfect👌

Only just noticed that in this clip also, after watching these episodes so many times. What a delightful period of Dr Who this was.

🤔🤭😂🤣

The original Planet of the Apes too.

...and they just get rid of him by accident.

The acting in this one made it special and believable Vorus and Tiron were great together

Big Finish do wonderful productions. And they're clever at recognizing good stories and recruiting great performers. Im sure they did the script justice. Cheers
