Talk:Revenge of the Cybermen
Doctor Who Unassessed | ||||||||||
|
I wish there were some indicator in here of how poorly written this episode was, between "Before I kill you, Mr. Bond"-style exposition, Cybermen who tie the Doctor and Sarah up instead of killing them -- why? because the plot demands it! -- and the Vogans' complete lack of ability to notice that gold could hurt the Cybermen (given they had a planet full of it, and they'd met Cybermen before, I mean, really.) I know the series is known for patchy logic, but this is just REALLY BAD. Maybe something in the "notes" section as regards the inconsistency? A. J. Luxton 10:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sadly (because I don't disagree), that would almost certainly violate WP:NPOV. We report the facts; let others determine how bad it is for themselves. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 10:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
didn't Christopher Robbie who played the Cyberleader have a South African accent? [1] PMA 08:00, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
His voice sounded pretty much straight-down-the-line RP to me (I know him as an announcer on Southern Television). Of course there were plenty of South African/British people with RP accents, but I can find no evidence of him having any links with SA.
Oh, and that was Robin Carmody who wrote the above!
Trivia query
I've read somewhere, that during the shooting of a British SF series, a diver in a cave gave directions to some cast/crew who were lost. Said cast/crew were astonished to learn that there were in fact no divers meant to be in the caves. An anecdote of some sort, any verification (of its status as an actual story, not if the diver was a ghost!) Alastairward 11:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
