Toby HadokeHOST
The cliffhanger is one of my favourite in all.
Toby HadokeHOST
Who, says he? The sounds, the imagery of the Cybermen emerging and marching through the streets of London.
Toby HadokeHOST
as well as the montage of their forces building up in the sewers earlier.
Toby HadokeHOST
I won't say what I was going to say about the next episode for fear of spoiling it, as the comments reminded me that there are people watching this for the first time, but I will simply agree with your comment that it's surprising.
11 MINS LATER
Toby HadokeHOST
and i really love that uh copy of invasion of the dinosaurs actually the the original one but i'm fond of the the follow-up too um and and that's the one i was very much used to it is it is a bit like an allosaurus it's not quite i wonder if it's supposed to be a tyrannosaurus but it didn't end up being one uh the unquest says simply one of my favorite stories thanks the unquest that's sometimes all we need a bit of advocacy it's a great story isn't it mate uh shane plays is here vaughn not choosing the cybermen in front of st paul's cathedral as your favorite thing is a tragic mistake toby pause a tragic mistake posting this comment before i hear what your guest's favorite thing is sort of playing a game with myself you see pause with myself you see who shane's in a playful mood Ah, he comes back.
Toby HadokeHOST
Now that things are played out, you were right and I was wrong.
Toby HadokeHOST
Yet I shall plant my flag that one should always choose the Cybermen in front of St Paul's Cathedral.
Toby HadokeHOST
Yeah, I think that's fair.
Jake ChristieHOST
And that, I think, very much intrigues Ultron because it's like, oh, we don't need to destroy humanity if we can just make it like us.
Jake ChristieHOST
Sort of a Cyberman from Doctor Who plotline.
Jake ChristieHOST
uh
Anthony Canton IIIHOST
x-men 97 season one yes yeah that as
Jon ArnoldHOST
So he needs a monster with some sense of fear there.
Jon ArnoldHOST
And I think the Daleks, Cybermen, etc.
Jon ArnoldHOST
don't work because they have the baggage.
Jon ArnoldHOST
And you just had a Dalek story.
Ryan BlakePANELIST
So maybe it wasn't his ego then.
Ryan BlakePANELIST
But again, it's like I've come up with this brilliant idea and now zip to the end, you know, and wrap it all up himself.
Ryan BlakePANELIST
And it's not as interesting because I think your idea has kicked everything else that's happened into touch already just by comparing it, combining it with the Cybermen origin.
Jon ArnoldHOST
I think as a chase story the story itself works but I don't think it works as an angel story which is up to the question
speaker_3NARRATOR
Turn.
Ioan MorrisGUEST
I've got Attack of the Cybermen as number 10.
Joe FordHOST
Oh, but this was the one you just sort of reached for at the end, right?
Ioan MorrisGUEST
Yeah.
Ioan MorrisGUEST
The amount of stuff they weigh him down with is extraordinary.
Ioan MorrisGUEST
And like most people, I feel badly for Colin rather than think it's in any way his fault because he's always one of the better things about his story.
Ioan MorrisGUEST
But I just don't think there's much he can do to contend with part two of Attack of the Cybermen.
Joe FordHOST
Do you object to stories being sort of assembled out of continuity elements from the show's past rather than doing something a bit more...
StephenHOST
Production.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But who or what are you? We are called Cybermen.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Cybermen? Yes, Cybermen.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We were exactly like you once, but our cybernetic scientists realised that our race was getting weak.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Weak? How?
StephenHOST
A medical researcher by trade, Pedlar was keenly concerned about the possibility of replacing human limbs and organs with machines, which in 1948 became known as cybernetics.
StephenHOST
Through discussion with his wife, Peddler came up with the idea of a race of creatures which had taken this practice to its logical extreme, becoming more machine than man.
StephenHOST
He called them Cybermen.
Phil WhoHOST
and was followed by Silver Nemesis.
Phil WhoHOST
And just so you know, that's a Dalek and a Cybermen episode.
Phil WhoHOST
So those will be ones that we'll want to talk about eventually.
Phil WhoHOST
We haven't really seen any classic series monsters yet, but that'll be something we'll focus on in the near future.

Patrick WhoHOST
It's better than, you know, it's better writing to have...
Patrick WhoHOST
There is like a spectrum of types of characters in this rather than just like...
Patrick WhoHOST
I don't know, with the big bads like Cybermen or Daleks, you're not going to see this kind of
Phil WhoHOST
nuance.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
Okay.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
The Cybermen.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
This is exactly what every single Cybermen plot is.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
If you ever watch Doctor Who, the Cybermen are like, humans are weak.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
Yep.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
To paraphrase Elrod, men are weak.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
You will just, you know, ease into your robotic existence.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
It will be better.
Mike AshquieHOST
I can't remember whether he was in the Star Trek...
Mike AshquieHOST
Dalek or the Star Trek Cyberman? I want to
Damien MorfitHOST
say he was the Cyberman.
Damien MorfitHOST
Cyberman, because that's the one I was in.
Mike AshquieHOST
Yeah, so this kid came over, but we also have family of three come up to us.
Mike AshquieHOST
There was the father and his two sons.
Julia MercadoGUEST
Because I guess in what better way do you create an AI that feels human rather than to put a human into it? And you talk about Star Trek, but this episode really...
Julia MercadoGUEST
It makes me think of like the Cybermen and think about Doctor Who.
Julia MercadoGUEST
Because you put a human into a robot, but they strip the emotions.
Julia MercadoGUEST
And the emotions are actually what's part of what's building out a new AI.
15 MINS LATER
Ashley ThomasHOST
Go for it.
Ashley ThomasHOST
All right.
Julia MercadoGUEST
I mean, I probably alluded to this earlier and I was referencing like emotions and Cybermen and what makes them kill.
Julia MercadoGUEST
But essentially, well, not what makes them kill.
JR SouthallHOST
they were going to put it in there, the thing about it that didn't work for me is that he didn't thread it into the story.
JR SouthallHOST
You had the scene at the start, which is a bit like the reveal of the Cybermen in Earthshock.
JR SouthallHOST
There's a cutaway to some people on the other side of the country doing something that's completely remote from what's going on.
JR SouthallHOST
You get to see them and you get to think, ooh, what's going on there? And then it forgets about them.
