Evolution of Cybermen: The classic years

July 30, 2020 by Alex Skerratt 2 Comments

Evolution of Cybermen – have you read that right? No, it’s not the name of an upcoming episode, but these metal cyborgs from Mondas have changed considerably over the years, ever since they first left their twin planet Mondas in 1986 (or, 1966 in British TV terms.)

Tracking the evolution of Cybermen is no easy task, so we’re tackling it in stages. First, let’s look at Classic Who. Now if you’re new to the Whoniverse, you may have heard talk of “the Cybermen from Doctor Who” but where did they come from? Which stories did they appear in? And what did they look like? If you’re curious to know more about the scariest cybernetic upgraders this side of Telos, look no further. This is the ultimate guide to the evolution of Cybermen – the classic years!

Enjoy, or you will become like us.

    Phil might need to double check his VHS collection, judging by the infographic he’s put the cassette for Earthshock in the Revenge of The Cyberman box..!

      This was a rather sneaky joke on my part. The BBC’s original VHS cover looked like this – complete with the wrong Cybermen and distinctly 80s-looking starfield!
