Vibrant Oxymoron has Classic Cybermen - An Astonishing Evolution (By Episode). "I must admit, I was initially introduced to the Cybus Cybermen originating from the alternate universe in the new Doctor Who episodes. It wasn't long before I was thinking about them all the time - replaying the episodes in my mind. Replaying the screams and mechanical sounds of the "upgrading" or "cyber-conversion". They were intriguing - they were intimidating...."
Shadowlocked has The Doctor Who Column: The Doc's greatest foes - soaps and talent shows. Hold on. There's something missing. Normally, at this time of year there's some TV programme that's supposed to be heading back to the small screen. Oh, that's right – Doctor Who. Alas, for Who fans, the wait's a bit longer, with rumours of six episodes surfacing in Autumn or Winter.

TARDIS Eruditorum has In The Great Days of Rassilon, Five Great Principles Were Laid Down (The Five Doctors). "The problem with occasionally doing what I think of as the gonzo entries is that there is occasionally the sense that I’m expected, for a given “big” story, to provide one. In practice it’s a bit more idiosyncratic than that. What makes a classic story and what makes a story that lends itself to an over the top gonzo entry do not, in fact, completely coincide. What enables a gonzo entry is a story in which there is some excess - in which the story messily signifies more than it quite means to, gesturing, often against its will, at a greater, more mythic order of things...."
