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)[reply]

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 (talkcontribs) 10:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

didn't Christopher Robbie who played the Cyberleader have a South African accent? [1] PMA 08:00, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

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!
