The way the dreaded Cybermen return in this serial is awesome, in billions of ways and they reviewed past encounters with their arch-enemy the Doctor which was awesome.

This aired when I was about 5 years old. I cried and cried when Adric died. I also remember having an accident not long after and couldn’t walk on one of my feet. I was pretty down in the dumps, feeling emotionally and physically in pain. Mum made me a top with a star on it like Adric’s to cheer me up.

The best way to manipulate the Doctor was always to threaten his/her companions.

My most treasured Dr. Who moment came in the late 1980's when my mom got us press passes and we got to meet and get an autograph from Peter Davidson, Nicholas Courtney (Brigadier) & Ian Marter (Harry/Unit). All 3 were generous and accommodating and solidified my admiration of being a Whovian.

So remember the pleasant shock of the first episode cliffhanger as a kid. The BBC did so well not leaking the return of the Cybermen. Adric was annoying but didn't dammed the shock of the ending

I watched all the Dr Who episodes aired by PBS and never saw this one. There seem to be a lot of episodes the BBC never shared with PBS and sometimes it seemed like the same 5 shows over and over again.

It's a shame that the Doctor didn't have a time machine, because if he could time travel, he could travel to the bridge of the freighter and get Adric before the ship exploded. That wouldn't upset "established events" because it wouldn't conflict with what they knew happened. They know Adric was on the freighter and they know the freighter was destroyed, but they couldn't know for certain that Adric was still onboard when that happened. On the subject of time travel making it possible to undo the loss of a companion, there is the case of Amy and her Roman. Amy and Rory were sent back to 1930s NYC by a weeping angel. The Doctor says he can't use the Tardis to travel back to 1930s NYC because of damage to spacetime caused by the weeping angels. But why couldn't the Doctor travel to 1930s London and take a plane to NYC? It's been 11 years since the Angels Take Manhattan first aired, so the doctor traveling to NYC in the late 1940s would make more sense. Basically, both the Ponds and the Doctor would be time-traveling to a point where the Tardis could materialize. The Ponds would just be going the long way round. Hopefully, sooner or later, Arthur Darville and Karen Gillan will make a return to Doctor Who. After they finish that adventure, the Doctor could return them to the past so that Amelia Williams could write the rest of her books. Of course, the companion I most want to see make a return is River Song. (You're welcome Ellie.) But I really wanted to see River meet Jodie Whitaker's 13th Doctor. It would have been really fun to see the Doctor introduce Yaz to her wife.

@@reubensalter8125 Not that I'd really want to see Adric rescued (couldn't stand him), but isn't the fixed point the freighter crashing into Earth? Once the descent was underway, Adric didn't need to be there, so in theory, a future Doctor should be able to take Adric off the ship without messing up the timeline.

Always thought this was a bit silly - the Doctor could spend 100 years fixing his tardis, and still pop in and pick up Adric prior to the explosion. No change in the events seen from the perspective of the episode - he wouldn't try to prevent the impact, just pop in, pick him up, and leave. Oh well
