Favourite quote of the day..
"You've no home planet, no influence, nothing! You're just a pathetic bunch of tin soldiers skulking about the galaxy in an ancient spaceship!"

I love how abrupt the ending to the story is, it's almost like they couldn't wait to be done with it

couldn't the Vogons just use there poetry to kill the cybermen?

Between the broadcast of parts one and two, William Hartnell, the First Doctor, passed away. Coincidentally, he died during broadcast of a serial that served to reintroduce the Cybermen. His final solo appearance, The Tenth Planet, as the Doctor occurred during the serial that introduced them.

For all its faults, Revenge of the Cybermen is a guilty pleasure. It was one of the first stories I watched as a child and my brother and I would reenact sequences from it all of the time (swinging off the door pretending the floor was electrified in particular!). It's a shame the Cybermen's characterisation is way off because the suits are great. I lament the fact Holmes and Hinchcliff didn't revisit the Cybermen because at their core they're the perfect monster for their Gothic/Horror vision of the series.

"You lie! Because if they had such a rocket, they would've used it by now!"
literally two seconds later
"So, they have a rocket.."

Thank god for the CGI effects on the Season 12 Blu-ray, they helped to elevate this story and made people see it in a new light.

Note: William Hartnell, the actor who played the First Doctor, died three days before Part Two aired.

The cyberleader says that trying to release the harness will cause a 'secondary' explosion.

I never understood why the Vogans are so scared of the Cybermen coming when they have a PLANET made of the element that can kill a Cyberman. I'd create a load of gold bullets, load my gun and just chill in the hammock.

Man, this was such a low point for the Cybermen. Even the very title is wrong, i mean in the Moonbase one of the Cybermen literally says:
"Revenge? What iz that?"
Thank Rassilon for the next one though. Bring on Earthshock!

There were persistent rumours this Cyberman story began originally for Jon Pertwee but because he quit Revenge of the Cybermen was rewritten for Tom Baker yet if this is true then I would imagine that Tom Baker would have had a totally different Cyberstory

ok but that harry sullivan scene is iconic as hell

The story may not be the best but that Cybermen design is gorgeous

While you had a problem with the cybermen showing emotion, i personally think it's fine because i like to think that these cybermen are instead of just using technology to suppress their emotions, are actually trying to actively suppress their emotions and sometimes they fail at that.

I think this story is ok. I get this story might be important for a lot of fans as it was the first VHS release in 1983. Though I think the reason this story was chosen was because a lot of fans voted for Tomb of the Cybermen, unaware it was missing and released this one instead as it was the earliest surviving Cyberman story in full at the time.

I woke up to this notification. It was meant.

9:25 Tom and the others having a bit of fun doing the three wise monkeys - "Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil"

This was my first cyberman story and I was told that gold was their weakness and i just took it as it was. I still enjoy it despite its problems.

It’s like Tom Baker is aware that this serial is bad which explains why he doesn’t take it seriously.
