Podcasts about cybermen

Joe and Paul are heading for the biggest bang in history! My skystriker!

We're down in the caves, bullets are firing, the Cybermen are massacring the Vogans, Sarah is trying to get back to the Beacon, the Doctor is bomb-loaded and Harry Sullivan is very possibly an imbecile! It's all going on!

Sarah is infected, trapped with Harry on the planet of gold and the Doctor is sniffing out a traitor with a Cybermat. All the while the Cybermen loom ever closer...

Paul starts his Hamster journey in style as he heads straight for one of the most kicked Tom Baker worries to champion. Hoover attachments at the ready!

We bring you another redux edition of a previous episode today, with a revamp of an episode that was originally released 200 editions ago - Iceberg. We speak to author David Banks and discuss his New Adventure featuring the Cybermen. Our redux now includes the DWM prelude, plus another reading from the book by the writer, plus more extensive reviews from the time of release, plus current ratings.

A sad time in the world of Doctor Who as we mark the passing of writing titan Christopher H. Bidmead, and to join us in reflecting on both his work and life is Andrew Smith, writer of “Full Circle”, Big Finish dynamo, and friend of the esteemed Mr. Bidmead. Andrew looks back at getting his first break in TV due to Bidmead, working with him on behind the scenes features, and the man's general approach to Doctor Who, including an infusion of science and a real sense of continuity where none previously existed. We've also got the usual bevy of news including more vague handwaving on the future of Doctor Who, 1970's Cyberman dolly goodness, a new fancy tier for Britbox, and more!  Links: Support Radio Free Skaro on Patreon Second wave of Gallifrey One guest announcements begin with Jason Haigh-Ellery Gallifrey One 2026 Art Show Space Reservations now open ‘It's not a question of if Doctor Who returns, but when and how' – Jane Tranter Christopher H Bidmead died Aug 6 Steven Moffat tribute to Christopher H Bidmead The War Between the Land and the Sea available for preorder on Amazon UK, no release date Character Options Revenge of the Cybermen set due this month Character Options History of the Daleks Set #20 Just Sarah: More Than Fifty Years of a Doctor Who Companion due later this year, preorder available Big Finish: Doctor Who – The First Doctor Unbound: Knights of the Round TARDIS released Big FInish: Doctor Who – The Fourth Doctor Adventures: The Last Queen of the Nile released Big Finish: UNIT – Brave New World: Knightfall due Mar 2026 BritBox added a Premier tier with 4K and other perks, $150/yr in Canada Final Week for Graeme Burk's The Comics Code Kickstarter Tribute: Christopher Hamilton Bidmead Andrew Smith Season 18 Logopolis Castrovalva Frontios

The latest Doctor Who action figures are here, in B&M stores across the UK. As ever, we're joined by Al Dewar (from Character), to discuss the creation of these figures, the Fifteenth Doctor's TARDIS, and apart of Executioner Daleks. Al also reveals details about the upcoming Revenge of the Cybermen set. Plus, in a coda, we pay tribute to Christopher H Bidmead.

This time we continue our escape into Classic Doctor Who with the 2nd Doctor adventure The Moonbase! One half animated, one half live action, we find ourselves on the moon in 2070 where a single base with a single Graviton beam is somehow controlling all the weather on Earth! This definitely feels like a situation where redundancies would have been helpful. But the Cybermen are back and poisoning sugar in order to take over the base and let Earth's weather go wacky and kill us all. Yeah, that seems like a strange plan, but at least the Cybermen know that we all love sugar way too much!

In potentially the biggest story of the Season (somehow even bigger than the Fifth Doctor's debut in Castrovalva), we have Cybermen! Androids! Gritty troopers and gritty freighter crew! Oh, and we say goodbye to a much loved (lol) companion in what is quite possibly the most dramatic way since… well… the 1960s? Yup, it's Earthshock!   Join us as we discuss how the designers on Starship Troopers must've been huge Doctor Who fans, how the Cybermen seem to have recruited Daft Punk to do their dirty work, their completely bonkers plan, how Captain Briggs is surprisingly enjoyable (even if she was played as if she were your drunken Aunt), and, of course, we have to talk about THE ending of the story. Poor Diana has to say goodbye to Adric – and she may have even shed a tear or two…   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find the this oddity available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

Remember the Cybermen, from Doctor Who? Scary races of machine-men and living computers who share all their experiences in a massive network. And that makes them really daunting, because any trick you might use in a fight against them only works once. Fool one once, and all of them learn and adapt. Your victories only help them slowly iterate towards perfection, all through data, data and more data. Why am I waffling on about sci-fi when we just had a spectacular race? Because the Cybermen are in MotoGP, too, but here they're called Ducati. Each bike gathers more and more data, sorted and organized by algorithmic machine learning brains forever searching for speed. So what happens when that advantage disappears? Well, it's not a great day to be on a Ducati if your name is not Marc Marquez. But what does that mean? For one, it's showing the capabilities of the riders in a whole new light. But it also shows that, under the right circumstances, the Ducati's may be less removed from the Aprilia- and KTM-machines than they care to admit. And Marc Marquez? Well, five years after a horrific injury he's still the winner. There's a story there, and we've got Mat and Peter to tell it. So strap in, because we're lifting off!Want more?

Is this where the wheels start coming off as Joe (positive until now) starts to see the cracks, Jon has ammunition in his argument against the story...but Eddie remains steadfast that this is a banger.

Father and son combination of Jon & Eddie Arnold - watching Doctor Who together and having a huge difference of opinion! Who loves this one? And who thinks it is dogshit?

Our epic commentary on The Invasion reaches its climax and our intimate study of James' diary does too. How will the Cybermen be defeated? And will James get the girl?

Joe declares this one of the best episodes of Doctor Who of all time, and James cannot disagree. We start with Cybermen menacing our friends in the sewers and end with them invading London!

The Cybermen are here...but just enough to bring them out of the cocoon. Jamie & Zoe go on a foolhardy expedition with Isobel, and Vaughn's plan is coming to fruition...

he longest Doctor Who story, a pandemic fought year, and an epic fight for reality against Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, Swarm & Azure and the Doctor's past...

An alternative Earth with a parallel Pete (and Jackie), and a new origins story for the Cybermen. But how does The Age of Steel stack up almost two decades later? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber and Ryan Blake

The Sixth Doctor is back - and he's up against one of his oldest foes. Killing Ground, by Steve Lyons, features the Doctor with his new travelling companion Grant Markham, as they encounter the Cybermen. Steve joins us for a discussion about the book, and how he featured a new monster for the BBC Books range, months before it had been published. Plus, we have two readings, complete with authentic Revenge of the Cybermen-style voices!

The animation is back and somehow we're really happy about that! There is a brilliant action sequence that we can't see but the emergence of the Cybermen and Vaughn's plans are coming to fruition...no signs of this story running out of steam.

The Cybermen haven't arrived yet but we couldn't care one jot when Kevin Stoney and Peter Halliday are there to make laugh and cry! Join James and I as we dive into Doctor Who Spy-Fi!

Joe, Luke, Andrew & Jon face the most brutal fight in the Doctor's fight, a conflict so terrifying he has to form an alliance with Cybermen, Sontarans and Draconians and become a dictator! Issalon Kwai!

This time we watched Tomorrow, the Rat — Episode 4 from Series 1 of Doomwatch, first broadcast 2 March 1970 and written by Terence Dudley. That's four years before James Herbert published The Rats (which we covered in episode 4). It's highly likely he was inspired by this vintage BBC sci-fi thriller—pen in hand, watching Doomwatch unfold.Doomwatch was a vintage BBC science fiction series that aired from 1970 to 1972. A prime example of British sci-fi, it followed a government scientific agency led by Dr Spencer Quist (John Paul) investigating futuristic environmental and technological threats. Think of it as classic BBC sci-fi with serious Black Mirror energy.The show was created by Doctor Who masterminds Gerry Davis and Kit Pedler—the very same duo who invented the Cybermen. Davis had been a Doctor Who story editor; Pedler served as scientific adviser. Their fascination with the dangers of science run amok became the foundation of Doomwatch, this cult BBC science fiction drama.Series 1 and 2 each had thirteen episodes; Series 3 had twelve (though one, Sex and Violence, was never broadcast). The BBC got cold feet, possibly due to real execution footage and unflattering portrayals of public figures like Mary Whitehouse and Cliff Richard.As with far too much vintage BBC content, parts of Doomwatch are missing—wiped or taped over. At its peak, the show pulled in over 13 million viewers, cementing its place in classic British sci-fi history.Dr Quist was a Nobel-winning physicist haunted by his involvement in the Manhattan Project. (Yes, he appears in Oppenheimer.) John Paul, who played him, was a familiar face on British television: I, Claudius, Triangle, The Avengers, The New Avengers—proper BBC veteran.Toby Wren, played by Robert Powell (who we talked about in episode 46, The Survivor), was a key figure in Series 1. He met a legendary end in the finale, Survival Code. Powell asked to go out with a bang—literally. The BBC received more letters about his on-screen death than any issue since World War II.This episode, Tomorrow, the Rat, was written by Terence Dudley—then the producer of Doomwatch. Dudley directed three episodes and went on to work extensively in Doctor Who, including directing Meglos (1980), and writing Four to Doomsday, Black Orchid, and The King's Demons. He also wrote Target novelisations and K-9 and Company. Classic vintage BBC sci-fi pedigree.Simon Oates plays Dr John Ridge—you may remember him from Beasts (The Dummy episode, which we reviewed in 44a). He also played Steed in the stage version of The Avengers.Penelope Lee appears as Dr Mary Bryant. She once auditioned to play Barbara, the Doctor's original companion. She later voiced Lyn Driver in The Plague Dogs (a British animation not for the faint-hearted) and a computer in Doctor Who: Revelation of the Daleks. She also featured in Richard Donner's Superman as the Ninth Elder. Peak British sci-fi credentials.Hamilton Dyce turns up as the Minister. You might recognise him as Major General Scobie in Doctor Who: Spearhead from Space—another vintage BBC sci-fi staple.And no, before you ask, none of this cast ever turned up in Boon.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Originally released on the 27th of May 2015!!!  (The original episode contained) In episode 20 of the podcast we catch up with what each other has been watching and/or listening to since last we recorded.  Liam tells of his experiences in America. Next we look at the connections between some of the lost classic Doctor Who serials and a landfill in a New Mexico desert (audio segements came from ATARI: Game Over, a documentary made in 2014).  I reference some facts that The Tin-Dog Podcast's host Michael, has made in some of his past podcasts (I don't know which one, but I'm sure they exist). Once we hit the news, Liam shares his frustration with Disney and their lack of consideration towards Star Wars fans for what they'll be doing with the continuity established in the book series once episode VII comes out in December.  We discuss the news and future releases from Big Finish regarding Torchwood, Doom Coalistion, The Worlds of Big Finish (extreme crossover release) and it's potiential marketing sceme.  When we get to the reviews we first finish discussing The Two Doctors classic story, focusing on audio only, but my explaining of what happened visually to add clarification to the story.  Next we discuss the Big Finish releases: The Defectors - by Nick Briggs; Last of the Cybermen - by Alan Barnes; Death Match - by Matt Fitton; Suburban Hell - by Alan Barnes; The Well-Mannered War - by Gareth Roberts, adapted by John Dorney; Damaged Goods - by Russell T. Davies, adapted by Jonathan Morris. During the review of Damaged Goods we get into the a second discussion/debate on Doctor Who "Cannon" or what is and what is not cannon, and then back to Star Wars cannon and not cannon.  I make a reference to @DoctorSquee's Gallifrey Stands Podcast interview with Paul Cornell. We finish up the show reviewing Jago & Litefoot sereis 9, Blake's 7 Truth and Lies, and Terrahawks Vol. 1, before a quick Game of Thrones discussion to end episode 20. Stay tuned for more Doctor Who goodness, including monthly Big Finish reviews, audio commentary, retro-reviews, the DWAP "Rassilon Seal of Approval" and beyond! 

Ian and Nathan are thawed out to review probably the most iconic 2nd Doctor story!The Tomb of the Cybermen (1967). Directed by Morris Barry. Written by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davies. Starring Patrick Troughton, Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling 

We re-watch the Series 2 penultimate and ultimate episodes. Starting with “Army of Ghosts” where the Doctor and Rose arrive back in London to do some laundry. Oh yeah! And visit with Jackie... and said ‘ghosts'... but mostly do laundry. Followed by “Doomsday” where the Who crew save the day but the Doctor loses his bestie. Whilst all this is going down, pre-Martha gets upgraded, Jackie and Pete get reunited but it feels so ewww, and Rose lives but dies inside because she will never ever get to see the Doctor ever again. Pinkie swear that will never ever happen. Ever. EVER!

AN ESSAY by a tech writer and CEO makes the case that the tech/AI singularity isn't coming, it's already here. Mark Jeftovic argues that we have created code that's now writing its own code to create more intelligent artificial intelligence—a feedback loop that is accelerating. Jeftovic then cites an X account that claims Elon Musk's Grok 3 achieved AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) on February 17, 2025—and further, several different AIs across different companies achieved consciousness simultaneously and are converging with each other.  It may sound like science fiction, but it's plausible, which is why we open our new book The Gates of Hell with a fictional scenario describing the emergence of a self-aware AI called KRONOS (name chosen deliberately—see Derek's previous book The Second Coming of Saturn). It's a story we've seen often in science fiction, from the Cybermen of Doctor Who and the Borg of Star Trek to ARIIA of Eagle Eye and SkyNet of the Terminator franchise.  And yet, to use Elon Musk's words, we continue to summon the demon. We also discuss last night's tornadoes here in Missouri and the supernatural stories that came out of the deadly Joplin tornado of May 22, 2011. Multiple witnesses reported physically impossible encounters with beings children called “butterfly people.” These accounts are documented in the book And the Angels Came and the 2024 documentary The Butterfly People (stream it for $5 here). Our new book The Gates of Hell is now available in paperback, Kindle, and as an audiobook at Audible! Derek's new book Destination: Earth, co-authored with Donna Howell and Allie Anderson, is now available in paperback, Kindle, and as an audiobook at Audible!

His eldest son Prince Sylvan is an artist with no desire to inherit a kingdom, while Prince Dega toils in his laboratory, dedicated to saving their dying people from extinction. They will all burn unless he succeeds. When the TARDIS arrives, its crew believe they can help. But this planet is Mondas. And this is the Genesis of the Cybermen... Please note: the collector's edition double CD is strictly limited to 2,000 copies    

Adric's fate, an unexpected "asteroid," and the triumphant return of the Cybermen—Earthshock is the definitive Doctor Who game-changer. From its big-budget action sequences to its brutal emotional gut punches, this Davison classic gave us one of the show's most shocking cliffhangers and its most heart-wrenching companion exit. But does all the spectacle hold up, or is this the original sin of '80s Who? Join us as we crack the last logic code, psychoanalyze the Cyber Leader's emotions (should Cybermen even have emotions?), and get lost in the cavernous plot holes of one of the show's most unforgettable adventures.

Today's book club adventure takes us into the era of Sylvester McCoy. We take a look at the BBC's first Seventh Doctor story in the Past Doctor Adventures range, where he and Ace encounter the Cybermen and Nazis. But in World War 2. Not in Windsor. We're joined by co-author Mike Tucker and Steve Cole - at the same time! - to discuss this novel.

Continuing our rewatch of Series 2 brings us the long awaited two-part return of... Pete Tyler! Also I guess the Cybermen... whatever Boomer (scoffs)... Whilst “Rise of the Cybermen” lands us in an alt-universe London where their Rose is a dog, Mickey is gay, and our Doctor reunites with his Potterverse father. “The Age of Steel” kills off alt-Jackie, Rickey (alt-Mickey), and the rising alt-Cybermen. You just know this Doctor is not unhappy about some of these developments.

Nick and Benji are back, presenting… The Chat: Leave, Radiophonics, plus Chris and Billie… Good Review Guy: Purity Unleashed… Drama Tease and Behind-the-Scenes: Genesis of the Cybermen Also Available: Call Me Master and Blake's 7: Avon A Terrible Aspect.
