When the Doctor, Clara,
Artie and Angie arrive, the last thing they expect is the re-emergence
of one of the Doctor’s oldest foes. The Cybermen are back!
[For those unaware, Artie and Angie are the two children Clara was looking after in The Bells of Saint John.]
Who's Artie & Angie??? They arrive with The Doctor and Clara in the Tardis do they?
Explanation added.
Dear makers of Doctor Who
Please stop bringing extended family (I know they are not related but) and children aboard the TARDIS.
Thank you
I don't remember children being taken aboard the TARDIS before… also, it's possible it's a modern day story and the Doctor is the one tagging along with the three of them. We shall see.
bringing on Artie and Angie reminded of a cartoon strip with the first Doctor where he had two young kids along as companions – maybe possibly this is a reference to that? Well they do keep throwing the references to past Doctor Who in there… or maybe not.
Great. What next, John and Gillian???
It's a family show, it's for all, not just the old school. It's got to appeal to kids, how else are they going to sell the merchandise at toys r us?
Hey Cam, any word on new audio commentaries? Or did you quit doing them?
Hopefully the kida get their skull's crushed by the mighty Cybermen. I also hope these are the Mondas Cybermen and not the Cybus/Pete's world Cybermen.
In the Hartnell era there were two children companions John and Gillian

I'm vaguely wondering if this is a tip of the hat to that?
Probably not though.
Anonymous, there are no more commentaries.
