Doctor Who (1963) 5.01.X2

Cybermen: The Extended Edition (2010)

32 minutes

This examination of the history, variations, and capabilities of the Cybermen was hosted by writer and historian Matthew Sweet. It uses footage and examples from every story that the Cybermen appeared in up to the time that this feature was made. Most of the examples are from the classic series but there are also some from the early seasons of the 2005 incarnation of Doctor Who.

There was more than one Cyberman origin story and this feature takes a look at all of them including the origin story from the old Target novelizations of Classic Doctor Who.

Thoughts

This was a lot of fun and makes me realize that there are quite a few Cybermen stories that I have not seen.


The Magic of VidFIRE (2011)

6 minutes

This short feature explains how stories like Tomb of the Cybermen have been restored. It shows before and after clips to demonstrate how much better the restored versions can be.
