I’m not mad, I just read different books. Multiple model agnostic, artist, illustrator, writer, destroyer of worlds.
Felt a little cynical to me. A far cry from the sentiment of ‘Doctor I let you go’. Back to the 2000s again? I understand 14 was to get some casual fans back on board but I can’t help feel this casting was for the benefit of headlines and clickbait. Happy to be proven wrong.

I loved your segment in the book. How intentional was your approach to the timelords mirroring the inner politics of the bbc? Or was the idea of doctor who piloting you?

Anyway here is the Blakein gothic cyberman I came up with. The brain embossing on the side is the left brain mirrored.
Anyway I’m off to your book to learn strange facts about John Pertwee.

I read somewhere that kit peddler intended them to be priests or monks but wasn’t able to due to blasphemy laws. It’s very fitting then that the man who fought the blasphemy laws in 2006 was the same man who raised money for William Blakes grave also played a cyberman in an audio drama set in Egypt

The Cybermen also share a lot of visual links to Egyptian symbolism, the tombs, the death masks and the first cyber controller having a particularly phallic design, not unlike an obelisk, the symbol of the left brain. Associated with mathematics and reason and a strong belief in the patriarchy.

From hell and William Blake vs the world back to back. A potent combo.I was struck by the thematic links between Urizen and the Cybermen. Forcing mankind to close of their awareness and see the world through a narrow chink. ‘Binding with briers my joys and desires’.

Ah to ‘cleanse the doors of perception’. Wouldn’t that be great? Speaking of, when will rtd do the decent thing and give us a William Blake episode? Urizen and the Cybermen have numerous parallels to explore beyond the 60s technophobia. Especially with them originally intended to be a priest class

I’m more excited about this than series 2. And that’s saying something. I’m curious to see what affect this will have on the fandom on a whole. It would certainly be a lot les aggy if we had a few more multiple model agnostics around.

Very excited, i loved @pierrenovellie.bsky.social ‘s book on autism and expect this to be just as good. Then I’ve just got to wait for as as yet unknown dyslexic comedian to cover the rest and il be sorted.
