Revenge vs Rise: we talk Cybermen!
Apr 23, 2014, 06:59 PM
PodKasting as a duo this week, Brian A Terranova and James McLean give their thoughts on a couple of recent #DoctorWho news items before turning their attention to two Cybermen stories.
Revenge of the Cybermen in 1975 was the cyborg race's first appearance since 1969, while Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel was their introduction to nuWho (a brief cameo in Dalek notwithstanding). Both stories attempted to rewrite the Cyberman legend, with varying levels of success, and also featured a Doctor with two companions.
While it is difficult to establish which story is "best", Brian and James nevertheless have a great discussion about their likes and dislikes about the two stories.
