I'll never forget the day the Cybermen returned to Doctor Who in Peter Davison's debut season story Earthshock. And what a shock it was that time in March 1982- a supreme one of the very best kind, which made the series very cool again with my friends in the secondary school playground the day after the creatures 'reveal' at the end of a very gruesome and atmospheric first episode, creepily on a par with the filmic Alien, and tautly directed by Peter Grimwade. The true stuff of nightmares were back, in impressive redesigned costumes, and looking more formidable than ever in their confrontation with the equally shocked by their arrival Doctor. This was a unique story in a new Doctor's era where the power of good might not always win the day...
