My favorite Sixth Doctor episode. I love Cybemen episodes and this is one of my favorites. I love seeing the Doctors noble side in this one. A little dark, but has some nice light humor.
Time Ramvent Day 1: Attack of the Hartnell
Welcome to Time Ramvent, the art challenge where I celebrate 60 years of Doctor Who by drawing fan art for a podcast that rams Doctors into Doctor Who stories that don't belong to them.
Today's episode is William Hartnell's 'Attack of the Cybermen', in which Ian and Barbara are considerably better than Stratton and Bates, the viewers' heads explode from all the Cyberman lore being dumped on them, and the Cybermen's heads explode from the Doctor bludgeoning them to a gruesome red pulp. Slaughter-aligned First Doctor for the win.
In December of 1986, the time traveling alien known as the Doctor (Doctor 1) and his companions arrived at the South Pole Space Tracking Station and ended up confronting the Cybermen for the first time as the Cybermen’s planet (Earth’s lost sister) was draining Earth’s energy. While the Doctor managed to stop the Cybermen’s destruction of Earth and turning it’s population into Cybermen, the strain was too much and the Doctor regenerated for the first time into his second incarnation (Doctor 2) ("The Tenth Planet", Doctor Who, vlm 1, TV) The cybermen’s homeworld of Mondas was destroyed by Earth.
