THE TENTH PLANET

The Cyberman was about to convert General Cutler into one of their own,
until he realised Cutler already had no heart, and very little brains. 
Season: 4
Episodes: 4*
Broadcast Dates: 8-29 October 1966
Producer: Innes Lloyd
Script Editor: Gerry Davis
Writer: Kit Pedler, Gerry Davis
Director: Derek Martinus
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Michael Craze (Ben), Anneke Wills (Polly)

The Plot: The year is 1986 and the Solar System has a new planet, Mondas whose inhabitants pay a visit. They'll be popping up quite a few times for now on.
We Like: I don't know, but I have always found these early Cybermen to be the most effective. Their eerie appearance is certainly arresting. Oh, and the Doctor dies at the end.
We Dislike: General Cutler, one wonders exactly how he got his job as he is dangerously incompetent.
Rating: 3.5
