Intros of the Cybermen
Details
2026 marks two important Cybermen milestones in Doctor Who!
Not only is it the 60th anniversary of their debut story The Tenth Planet, but also the 20th anniversary of their re-introduction in the 21st Century revival era with the two-parter Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel!
Watch these prior to our event:
- The Tenth Planet - on the official Classic Who YouTube channel.
- Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel (S2, Ep 5-6) - on Amazon or Apple TV or check your local library for physical copies (and links to free versions later, available to those who RSVP).
Questions we’ll ask:
What are the similarities, differences in the Cybermen intro stories within the context of their respective 1966 and 2006 release years? What do they say about the fear and anxieties of those years? What’s changed (or hasn’t) for them over the last six decades and what do they say about humanity now?
