The story takes place in 2503, prior to the events of The Tomb of the Cybermen; the Doctor states that the Cybermen are hibernating on Telos.

She won’t be the last to make that choice; it becomes something of a recurring theme, still happening recently with Martha Jones and, to a lesser degree, Rory Williams.In the event that a particular card is damaged inside a pack, we will only be able to replace the booster pack as being faulty (the product purchased) and not the individuals cards inside. In their first appearances in The Tomb of the Cybermen and The Wheel in Space, they were realised in the studio by a variety of techniques, including clockwork and radio-controlled models.

The Web of Fear revisits the Great Intelligence and the Yeti, this time placing them in the London Underground of the 1970s. They feature in both closed and open mouth variants, with the latter being enlarged for an additional giant variant.

Cybermats shared the Cybermen's weakness for gold, but it was possible for gold to be placed inside them without damaging their systems and the gold could be injected into Cybermen as they would inject other humanoids. The Doctor asks Dodd to help him get to the Committee; but Dodd traps him in a freezer instead, reasoning that he is healthy and will make a good source of organs. Nyssa meets Frank, Yvonne’s younger brother, and also learns that cybernetic animals are as common as cybernetic people; the replacement of parts with cybernetic substitutes is very common, and many people are in ill enough health to require such replacement. Just as they reach the compartment containing the TARDIS, the engines cut off in midflight, which the Doctor considers dangerous.

Spinoff media have filled in some gaps, but there’s a lot we just don’t know, and may never see addressed. Victoria gets roofied in episode 2, if not by a man; pretty edgy for a 1960s serial (and on a related note, I hated Kaftan, the perpetrator, at that point already). Missy once goaded the Twelfth Doctor into following her through various time periods while she stole valuable items.

They are diverted, however, by the presence of the Cybermat; it chews into the TARDIS console, seeking the power source, until it fries itself—but the damage is done. We do reserve the right to refuse complaints or levy appropriate charges for issues raised after this period. Initial scans show that he has a discrete lobe in his brain which can handle bodily functions unaided, allowing the rest of the brain to devote to cognitive capabilities; this pattern can be useful in the next generation of Cybermen, and may solve the problems Allan has been facing. Back on the destroyer, the Doctor and Jansen encounter a rogue Cyberman, but Jansen is able to kill it. In the other direction, future episodes of the revived series will make reference to this story; the Mondasian Cybermen will eventually merge with the Cybus variant, and a Cyber-Planner (though not the same one in any case) will appear in Nightmare in Silver, as well as several audios: The Girl Who Never Was; Legend of the Cybermen; Last of the Cybermen; and the Cyberman range of audios.
