Notes[]

To disguise himself and his grandchildren as they pilot the stolen Cyber-Hover-Craft, the Doctor applies black paint to the cockpit, the travellers counting that they will appear to be high-ranking officers. Revenge of the Cybermen (1975) would introduce the Cyber-Leader, a type of high-ranking Cyberman distinguished by black side handles.
This story features an early, but by no means the first use by the Cybermen of the word "excellent". Though the Cybermen were frequently use the word in the later years of the classic series beginning with Revenge of the Cybermen, the word was used once by a Cyberman in The Moonbase (1967).

Continuity[]

The Cybermen the Doctor encounters resemble the ones seen in TV: The Tenth Planet.

Cyberman stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.
