"Locating... Bill Potts. I am... Bill Potts." That bit, along with the rest of that scene, still gives me chills.

If you look closely at the tenth planet cybermen you can see the actors eyes underneath it wasn't intentional but it does add a bit to the fear of them

God those classic cybermen stories. So good. Tenth Planet, Moonbase, Tomb of the cybermen, The invasion even wheel. So so good

The element of body horror with the cyberman needs to come back a bit more imo. Becoming a cyberman is not a pretty process and in both torchwood and the Tennant era, i think they did a pretty good job of showing what the bottom line of the cybermen is. Make them gritty, industrial, less of a random robotic alien species and bring back the horror side of them again with a sprinkle of melodrama (bill pots + the cyberman autopsy + "I did my duty for queen and country" being perfect examples in my opinion)

I feel like they toned the horror side down alot. Newer cybermen are just people in suits, when it was your brain...etc being ripped out of you alive it was damn terrifying

I remember watching this episode when I was a kid. The scene where Sammy (Cyberman) says they’re cold made me feel sad. An episode I have always remembered.

Earthshock has to be the best Cyberman story in Doctor Who. The atmosphere, the story, the Cybermen designs which I think are the best ones in the whole show, the sudden death of Adric. Everything about it was great.

I know some might get annoyed by this, but I really do like the Cybus Cybermen design the most. Not as creepy as the Mondasian or tomb Cybermen, no, but also not as high tech as the Nightmare in Silver Cybermen or Cyberwarriors (which I REALLY like those designs, by the way), but there's something about the gritty, industrial and bulky design of the Cybus Cybermen that make them look and feel like they have truly converted themselves into a machine, but still feel somewhat like there's an actual human inside. The NiS Cybermen are cool, but they are far too robotic, to the point where it's not really a Cyberman any more, and more of just a flat out robot. The Mondasian Cybermen are creepy and cool, and I love the whole "surgical" look to them, but they don't feel like they would be considered the "peak" of human evolution. But for some reason for me, the Cybus Cybermen hit that spot of looking like a machine, but feeling like there is something (or someone) else beneath that metal plating. Also, Rise of the Cybermen was my first time seeing a Cyberman or a Dr. Who episode, and I've been in love with the series and Cybermen ever since. ALSO also, does anyone know any good classic Cybermen episodes to watch and where I could watch them?

11:12 "Across the boundry that divides one universe from another" "We'll lock onto his coordinates" "And for my next trick!"

For all the love rightly given to the Daleks and the Master, I do think the Cybermen are the top Dr Who villains. I think they’ve always been the little bit more horrifying than Daleks, and are responsible for more Doctor regenerations than any other villain

I personally believe that the Cybermen from “The Invasion” are the best ones, because they have a creepy feel to them.

The scene with Adric was the first time I cried watching Doctor Who.

a looked over moment is the cyberman revealed to be a bride and is looking for her fiancé, i think that’s really heartbreaking

You just HAD to remind us of Adric. All these decades later and it still hurts.

11:45 is a noise that makes alot of sense nowadays

I won't lie, the sound of that bazooka firing at 6:40 was actually really satisfying

"Look at me imma target" haha priceless 24:36

Nightmare in Silver has many issues, but as an excuse to have Matt Smith be insane, it's worth it.

"We...are...only interested...in...survival." What about Curse of Fenric? Or Battlefield? They're good, too.

The look of the Cybermen from The Tenth Planet is still scary

Love that the second Doctor posed to get his photo taken with all that chaos running about at 7:01. 😂

The cyber-leader will always be my favorite. You could say he was..... ''Excellent''

I would love to see a modern Doctor returning to the setting of a classic story.

Nice to hear the infamous "Aah!" at 11:45

" I am Bill Potts." Still gives me the shivers. But I have a question since she is human inside the costume does that mean she is still alive if so good.

13:44 - It sounded like the Fifth Doctor said "Sorry. Moustache."

The Mondasion Cybermen are by far my favourite version. Even at 38 they give me the creeps.

The Cybermen are my favourite Doctor who villain of all time

Ah finally context for Adric. I’ve only ever seen the clip of him staring at the earth and then explosion. I had no idea why

The jump cut at 03:05 (and yes, I’m aware it’s like that in the episode) is simultaneously both extremely terrifying and extremely hilarious in equal measure.

I always liked Cybermen more than Daleks. Here we see them go from silly sockmen to silly spacemen to robots to (somewhat) badass robots.

Nothing beats the first Cybermen from the Tenth Planet. They were cold, calculating, and menacing showing just how terrifying humans who abandoned emotions for logic could be. They gave off the feeling of people clinging to life even if it meant giving up all humanity. I loved it. It gave the same feeling Zombies are supposed to, where we (the human viewer) are forced to be confronted with the monsters we can become trying to overcome the fear of mortality. Unfortunately much like actual zombies, they've become cheap action movie props with the latest going further to become legions of storm troopers. I appreciated Word Enough Time for very closely exploring the mondosian cybermen and returning to form and the Doctor Falls for st least getting the action zombie trope right with the Doctor being overrun and killed by the endless encroach of the monsters cheating death. Still, it saddens me how the Cybermen have fallen. They're a classic who villian, I'd honestly like to see retired (or used much, much less).

Not to say I dislike them, but if the Cyberwarriors had less spikes and more pipes/wires I think they'd be the best looking modern era Cybermen. I also wish the Cyberdrones latched onto people's heads and controlled them, much like the earpieces. Making them walk to conversion units.

1:01:24 that scene gave me chills, just imagine seeing that marching towards you

The Cybermen had some great moments. Would love to see a R rated series that shows the psychological and body horror of the conversion process. Also David Banks Cyberleader and Mark Hardy Cyberlieutenant are brilliant. Wish we had more of that dynamic. Also a story that features every major Cyberman design But I hate the Cyberdrones, for 2 key reasons 1, the design is just lazy. Flying heads really?! Why not base it on modern military drones or Cybermites. How about if they took dead birds and roadkill and crudely augmented them. 2, They're too overpowered compared to Cybermen. Their masters should be more menacing and intimidating.

6:34 How the Doctor runs as the Cybermen are shooting him looks like something you'd see in Tom & Jerry. First time I saw this on DVD I was laughing at this bit, I still think it's funny now. 😁😁😁😁

I like how they just decided who their leader was with barely any background info

The Lumic designs have always been my favourite since I was literally a child when they came out, and yet they stand the test of time so well. They're completely emotionless and uniform, even the way the helmets on some actors were slightly crooked just made them feel a bit more realistic and imperfect. (I will admit, someone really needed to be on set to let some of them know when they were holding their arms too far out etc lol) But they always felt realistic to a degree, and they didnt shy away from the body horror aspect of it back then. Plus the hydraulic sounds were just haunting

"Upgrading is compulsory" Love these guys

Just realised how silly that rise of the cyberman scene is, the cybermen are so slow and they don’t think to run around them lol, if this was the current era they’d be torn apart

Haunting of Villa Diodati is one of the best New Who Cybermen stories we've had. Maxine Alderton did a great job with Ashad, the setting was perfect for him.

I appreciate the pun you could've easily deleted :)

I started watching doctor who when I was 6 and the cyber men when they got upgraded it gave me nightmares for years

Hello. Thank you for this. I really enjoyed it. Very much appreciated. Really miss those Christmas Specials ( and Hearing Merry Christmas Everybody). Here's to more action packed episodes in the future. All the best, always.

For all the failings of the writing team with Jodie’s doctor, that cyber man looks sick

I recently bingewatched the entire classic era doctor who, still a fine show even in this age

I do really like the robotic designs of the newest cybermen but I feel like the body horror aspect I'd rather lost with those designs. The mondasian cybermen are truly creepy

12:10 I swear that Cyberman just said "Neato!" 😂

Still like the Cybus models the best. The sounds, voices, designs, music. All just felt perfect.

Have you noticed The Cybermen have kind of replaced The Daleks as The main Villains now?? A similar thing happened during the 1960's during The Troughton Era.

Those flying Cybermen helmets and the new ‘spikey’ Cybermen aren’t the best.

6:52 Having only grown up with the 9th doctor and onwards, it's weird to see one advocating for a creature's death 😅

What if in Pete's reality earth was the planet that got knocked out of orbit, and the planet seen in Age of Steel is actually Mondas?

That thank speech given on that Christmas episode still gives me chills...bravo sir

I miss Handles the Cyberhead 🤣🤣🤣

Also, I love the old black and white era, Cyberman "AaAaAaAa🤖" upon...deletion? 😆☺️ Adrick...😢😥

People may laugh at those early ones now, but when you're 7 or 8 and haven't seen anything like it before...*shudder*

Am i the only one being scared about the fact that at 13:50 everybody is wearing earpods and are "about to being upgraded to the next level." ?

11:46 tell me that’s not the sound I think it is

17:30 Imagine being a super species of robotic humanoids from another solar system and you get beaten by a human EMP sticky device

“You will accompany us.” “Sorry, mustache.”

I love the packing tape on the head of the cyberman with the first doctor

When I watch the cybermen episodes I just notice at there was 4 cybermen race appeared in doctor who series, the first race was the original cybermen, the second race was cybus from pete’s world, the third race was dark water cybermen from missy and the fourth race was the cybermasters from series 12.

Nothing disturbed me more than the cyberwoman torchwood episode with that guy on the floor with the half converted face

Emergence from their tombs at c. 5:00...somewhat creepy and powerful.

The ultimate upgrade will be the elimination of that God-awful plumbing on their heads.

Attack of the Cybermen was the most terrifying of the originals for conversion and not featured in this. Not forgetting Silver Nemesis.

Re-watching Jodi Whittikers performance wasn't the issue... It was the script. Actors can only do so much, but it's the script that will ultimately make them fall.

I want to see a more modern design that brings in body-horror elements. Like, imagine one with some exposed flesh or something

So is it ever explained what happened to the little boy and girl that Clara was employed as a nanny for?

I would love The cybermen to return to their classic style design similar to the way the sontaran did in war of the sontarans

21:11 damn that's some good acting the buildup was a great touch

I've always loved the music in tomb of the cybermen

This is awesome!

"I need you to come for Christmas Dinner!!🥺" "I'M BEING SHOT AT BY CYBERMEN!!!🤬"

Im suprised it took as long as it did for them to realise that the cybermen dont need one single origin. As long as life and technology exist together, you will eventually get a cyberman..

That scene with the cyberman asking about it's fiancée just made me sad.😢

26:55. The most terrifying thing about that Cyberman is that it proves the Cybermen don't even _need_ actual humanoid beings to function. The organic head inside it was long dead and mummified before it was ditched, yet it was still fully functional.

Tbh pretty much any scene from Villa Diodati is worthy of this list. Wish there was more Earthshock though

I can’t get over how the first one speaks

It's a Shame that neither Martha or Donna met The Cybermen

"oh no the console is damaged..well we can just fix it later then travel back in time and save him..as time isn't a problem with a time mechine"

“Don’t put me on a Dalek ship, when I’m holding a broken bit of Dalek! OW!”

Excellent!

Those original Cyberman voices were ridiculous... yet somehow still scary.

"Why are they all here if they can't translate it?" "You're here." "I'm OCD, what's their excuse?" 🤣🤣🤣

"There is logic in what he said" best line

“Feelings? I do not understand that word.”

missed The Moonbase, The Wheel in Space, Revenge of the Cybermen, Attack of the Cybermen and Silver Nemesis

Lmao I'm sorry but the cyberman scene on 11:45 tho lmao augh lmao I'm done

I love the fact that they called it "Upgraded Moments"

i love the tear in their eyes

Love the first voice

If I was that cyberman who the president of the UK was talking to I wouldn't delete him I would just take him for upgrading

Windows update be like 14:17

8:55 they managed to make this really intense with no special effects

What happened to Revenge of the Cybermen? Best cyber series ever

Amazing villains

The Revenge of the Cybermen…er..Cybermen are missing from this video. Granted they look very similar to the Invasion Cybermen, but there are differences. Also, I just remembered, the Wheel in Space Cybermen are missing too as well as the Silver Nemesis shiny polished Cybermen!

As much as I like the variety, the fact there's nothing from Army of Ghosts seems a little odd.
