I heard they were actually supposed to have robotic type hands, but the costume designer never got around to making them. So the fact that they still have human hands adds to the creepy effect.

I agree.

[@moonpawooe7134]

Absolutely better then the modern one is to iron man for me

[@gazda69]

The Doctor's inactivity in this story actually elevates it even further for me. This is essentially a Troughton story, from the setting, to the companions, to the villains and all that is the universe's way of telling the Doctor that the world is changing and that he needs to change along with it. If you really read between the lines, all of his absent scenes are just him taking a final rest while contemplating his destiny. And when he does finally return, Hartnell's performance sells the Doctor's sombre determination to get with the times while also being sad to let himself go.

[@DanTheMan2150AD]

If you watch all the 60s Cybermen stories after listening to Spare Parts and then watch Attack after them all, they form such a perfect story arc. I also don’t think this serial would be nearly as effective without the use of Space Adventures Pt. 2

[@LeftytheGansterGremlin]

Fun fact, some of them in the Tenth planet are survivors from Spare parts.

[@emilyoswin3830]

I’d also recommend The Silver Turk just after Spare Parts. It’s set between it and the tenth planet and features the first two cybermen to reach earth that send back the signal to Mondas

[@samuelbrooks1533]

Having read the TARGET novelisation first, it's hard to notice how little the Doctor actually does in this story. But credit where credit is due, William Hartnell managed to keep his Doctor's character going right up to the end. Still the same man; Intelligent, confident, a little prickly but kind.

[@TheoreticalRain]

I really feel like you’re not giving it enough credit when you call it an average base under siege story. It may appear that way now but it was the first “base under siege” story (before it was ever called that) that the show ever did. It’s completely unlike any other 1st Doctor story.

[@zandernewson9933]

I wonder if the reasons that the science seems a bit iffy, is that terms like radiation were still quite new to audiences back then. I always use the example in Psycho they have to explain mixed personalities to the audience. This might be similar. Also as a Star Wars fan, I’ve also got to mention that Bossk, from Empire Strikes Back, got his space suit from the BCC archives from this episode, worn by Earl Cameron’s character.

[@samtownend6744]

10:27 Pedler was a medical doctor with an interest in fringe topics like parapsychology, so he perhaps wasn't what I'd call a "hard" scientist. That might explain some of the vague or iffy science here, and we'll see more examples in the next cyber-story.

[@blueThumbnail]

The emotions around Hartnell's regeneration is end of time done right

[@bigcat7508]

My Review: I admire this story, I love it, it's so entertaining, the characters are well-written neatly, the Cybermen were downright so terrifying! They sent chills down my spine, I prefer the Mondasian Cybermen to be my most favorite Cybermen, they are the true definition of 'emotionless', they seem very friendly but they are for sure deadly, very deadly. I do like their voices and their dialogue. "I do not understand you, there are people dying all over your world, yet you do not care about them." I have no words for this quote, it is true, the Cybermen can beat you in an argument. I would like to thank the voice actor who did the Cybermen's tone perfectly done. Just love the concept of the Mondasian Cybermen, what makes them scary is that they have a very human-like appearance, seem very friendly, they're the true definition of 'emotionless', and the way they speak with their mouth opens is unnerving. The later Cybermen in the NuWho seems to have an angry tone, very hostile, they gunpoint at people and force them to be upgraded into Cybermen, I don't see the later Cybermen as "utterly terrifying". This story also introduced the concept of 'Regeneration' which truly made Doctor Who immortal and still runs 57 years now. It was so sad to see Hartnell go, he's somewhat an underrated Doctor, people just now think of them as a grumpy old sexist man, but no! He's far greater than that, he has a complex personality? I do enjoy Hartnell being the Doctor, he does an astounding job at it. The Doctor gave out a wonderful defining moment where he was saying Goodbye to Susan and one day, he shall come back, yes he shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to him that he is not mistaken in himself. Such a classic story that introduced a great concept of regeneration and the utterly terrifying Mondasian Cybermen, 10/10.

[@CulturePhilter]

Great kick off to the Cybercember. Shockingly I still have never seen this story all the way through. It is on my shelf though, I will get around to it.

[@MrDarthT]

I checked the transcript for the story, and one of the Cybermen ARE named in dialogue. Specifically, the Cyberman known as Jarl calls Krang by his name.

It's been repeated a lot of times in regards to regeneration (though maybe it's more to do with the ending of Brink of Death by big finish), but I am so happy I know the origin of the line now.

Does it add or subtract anything from Hartnell's exit to know that, after exiting the base & before his resurrection, the Doctor crossed paths with a much later version of himself, who was also dreading his resurrection? Honest curiosity.

Great review, I’ve always been bothered by the lack of cybermen & Doctor in part 3. It basically amounts to people tediously arguing about whether they should launch a rocket/bomb. It’s because of this I usually skip from part 2 to 4

[@tinykemper2561]

Can't wait to see the rest of this Cybercember, also I really do love The Tenth planet, especially the Cybermen's voices. It really focuses on their lack of emotions, which I think is what makes the best Cybermen stories.

[@karenhall4645]

In my opinion, the head guy in charge could almost be a secondary villain. He's so quick to suspect treachery and it's funny that the invasion of the Cybermen in part 4 actually saves the Doctor, Ben, and Polly from being shot by him.

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

Favourite quote from The Tenth Planet.. 'It's far from being all over!'

[@cardcaptor_morbius]

Fully agree on the science being incredibly odd outside of the concept of the Cybermen. Kit Pedler has a reputation amongst classic Who fans for using some really weirdly inaccurate science throughout his time on Doctor Who. Side note, I'm convinced Kill the Moon is meant to be a tribute to Kit Pedler's inaccurate science.

[@bendream544]

Kill the Moon doesn't have anything good about it though, except the end credits

[@samtownend6744]

Unbelievably the twin planet idea was at one point a real theory. There were many strange ideas about space that were only fully debunked when regular space exploration began in the mid 1960s

[@robotx9285]

The way you described this scene just makes Hartnel's preformance hit like a truck. 14:40

[@samuelbarber6177]

This is one of my favourite ever Doctor Who stories and it’s probably because of both Hartnell and the Cybers. I love the Mondasian Cybermen. I think they’re the creepiest ever, with their flesh hands, their voice, and the fact that you can see their eyes in several scenes. I also love the performance from William Hartnell, especially the blow up he has: Emotions, love, pride, hate, fear! Have you no emotions sir?

[@thetardisneedsamot]

I really recommend the Big Finish audio Spare Parts, it's a fantastic dive into how the cybermen were created on Mondas. It's possibly the best cyberman story ever, far exceeding anything seen on the show.

[@davidflint3675]

So glad to have the daily reviews back, loving your work (although I was sure this marathon would be called De-Cyber! Although gives me hope that this will continue as an annual Blank-Cember tradition). Tenth Planet is an interesting story, very much the blueprint of the base under siege story before the production teams honed in on how to make the scenario work to its full potential. Future stories would build tension with “they’re already among us” scenarios such as The Moonbase or having a human element working in thrall to the enemy outside such as Web of Fear or Fury from the Deep. Tenth Planet focuses more on the excitement of space rockets and astronauts which is very much of its time when it was made but does compromise the potential horror of the Cybermen as you say. Still the best version of the Cybes though, even if their fairly comprehensive massacre in part 3 does diminish them a little. Roll on the rest of the marathon, making what could be a difficult December in 2020 something to look forward to!

[@bladersmosh]

Curious, will we be seeing Cyber-Steve and Cyber-Jeff in future Cybercember vids? They’re still hilarious.

[@DalekTheSupreme]

This is interesting. I recently watched The Tenth Planet and came to the same conclusion. A very broadly written story that works okay on it's own (I feel like the resolution is too easy with Mondas disintegrating and the Cybermen just dying as a result), but is elevated by great villains and an amazing final cliffhanger with the Doctor regenerating. I just hope Patrick Troughton can live up to the excellent character and performance established by William Hartnell.

[@benw4409]

As arguably the most seismic Doctor Who story of all time, The Tenth Planet is not only important but good. It's one of my favourite Hartnell performances, the Cybermen have (arguably) never been better characterised and it's very well directed. A true classic that the show spent the next ten years trying to remake.

[@Saor_Alba]

I have loved Doctor Who from the very beginning but I must confess as a child it was in spite of William Hartnell's portrayal of the Doctor. He reminded me too much of my own erasable Grandfather, and I admit that 9-year-old me was delighted that he was regenerated. However, time has mellowed me considerably and knowing what I know today I look at William Hartnell's portrayal of the Doctor with a different perspective that only age can provide. I now look on both William Hartnell and the first episodes of Doctor Who with great affection, and perhaps in retrospect a nostalgic longing for a time that is gone and that never really existed.

[@Departures1]

For its legendary status the Cyberman dont actually do much and General Cutler is the adversary with his bruised ego. This is the most human and scariest version of the Cbmen before their featureless robot look. In all the years since we never learn anything more about Mondas or even visit pre-conversion. The Capaldi finale is a space station so not clear how that tied back to Mondas if they evolved separately. Also was Mondas ever in contact with the Silurians on Earth or Ice Warriors on Mars?

[@ponchoman49]

And here is how you do diversity the right way in Doctor Who. Notice how it's not shoved down our throats or preached to us. No its actually part of the story as explained. The diverse crew versus the clone like Cybermen. This was very ahead of its time and done right. If only they could figure this out today maybe we could get great original stories about a batty daft but oh so clever guy in a police box saving worlds or the universe. It doesn't even feel like Doctor Who anymore! If there ever was a missing episode I really want to see returned its Episode 4 of The Tenth Planet featuring Hartnell's regeneration!

A superb review. Pointed out lots of good things. I watched this 3 years ago for big regeneration watchthrough and got contrast between emotional General and Cybermen. U can certainly see this as Cold War Metaphor of course. The Cybermen may well be stand-ins for Soviets, but the American figure here is shown as the other extreme, almost destroying the world through his recklessness. The Z Bomb naturally serves to show fears of nuclear war. We are told destroying the other sides home would also destroy us. Just another element to this story, the Cuban Missile Crisis was still fairly recent, from early on DW shows the fears of nuclear war, fire in An Unearthly Child could be seen as this to primitive man and of course the fate of Skaro in The Daleks. So... bookends for the era? Harshly enough a space flight was lost in 1986. Also someone forget to bring gloves for the Cybermen hence why they have bare hands. But it still works in showing how human they are.

These were the best cybermen because they were actually cyber MEN, humans that have been so distorted their faces have to be covered, their voices produced by electronics, like theres no soul, yet they speak with cold wisdom, they sound inteligent and speak in full complete sentances with human reactions, when this one was asked "dont you care" his reaction sounded like suprise, despite saying they dont have emotions they react like humans to whats being said, And the design, i know a peice of cloth isnt like a robotic head but as said in the video, under the cloth is a white dead face, its eyes blankly staring, its mouth moving but its disjointed, wires and small pistons allowing it to remain stable, the blank expression being so alien for a human face it had to be covered so that no cyber man could see what had been done, not that they would care if they did see it The hands coming out, it does make it seem like a cheap costume compared to the metalic look of the modern cyber men but think about this, your in antarctica, its not dark but theres a jhon carpenters the thing feel about the place, you hear footsteps and assume its another worker and so pay no mind to it Feeling a human hand you turn around, its cold but your used to it now as its the antarctic, what do you expect, warmth. You turn expecting to see a colleague but instead your greeted with the mondasian cyberman, he dosent hurt you, but theres an unease growing within you when you notice the cold dead eye from inside the suit, not blinking once... he simply asks where the command center is, he is polite, he even sounds more inteligent than you, its strangly calming despite the voice being so electronic, monotoned and broken, you tell him and he walks away, not even turning around to say thank you, nor does he seem interested in what you concider to be space age tec, like an ipad for a door control ( remember this is the 60s portraying the 80s) I find this to be much more haunting than turn round, robot, death, mainly becaise theres more to unpack and the tension as you dont know what this thing is or what it wants, its more unpredictable and the small details that you dont see but can infer makes it all the more gripping,
