Tin Opener Time …

For any of you who remember these fellas from the 60's/70's and 80's, will be pleased to hear that they are set to make a return.

Their first appearance was in the 1966 series 'The Tenth Planet' (above) which was the last episode to feature William Hartnell in the role of the Doctor. In 1983, the Cybers finally met their doom in 'The Five Doctors' during a special episode (below) produced to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary.

Living abroad means that I cannot receive the new super-hyped-up Dr Who series, but it’s good to see that the metal-menace has had a make-over and that the Cybermen are set cause merry-hell. The Doctor's very existance will be turned into a living nightmare once more.

I'm sure that the redesigned versions of these evil characters will have another generation of youngsters rushing for safety behind the sofa … ahh, my childhood …
