I would welcome that! He or Danny John-Jules.
Funny, the first thing I ever saw Danny in besides Red Dwarf was Blade II. It was so strange seeing him not being Cat.

I did not know that - never made it past Blade1, don;t know why because I liked it. He is absolutely splendid in Maid Marion and her Merry Men, too!

Blade is a fantastic film. Blade II is pretty good, with some good performances by Snipes, Ron Perlman and Norman Reedus. Blade III is crap. The only thing worth seeing it for is how much they waste Ryan Reynolds and Parker Posey.
I shall have to check out this Maid Marion and her Merry Men.

If you like Blackadder, you'll love Tony Robinson as the Sheriff of Notingham - perrfect kids' comedy - i.e. wasted on kids!

I love the cybermen. They are my favourite monster.
As for design I tend to prefer the Revenge cybermen with their integrated weapons, plus I love Revenge.
I prefer the Moonbase voices (when the aren't saying things like "Stupid Earth brains") I liked the voices they used in Sword of Orion and the Cyberman series with Big Finish.
I do agree strongly with the view that they need to keep to the corrupted humanity aspect. The touches in the past like the sing song voice and fabric face of the Tenth Planet or the visible lower jaw all help with that.
I did like the design they had for Nightmare in Silver but the episode was awful.
I love the new design and more so for the implication that these are the true cybermen, not the alternate universe ones that are returning.

I've always liked them as a villain. I really enjoyed their return during Smith's run, but that episode also had some really great actors in it, so that helped. I can't wait to see them return tomorrow.

I absolutely love that artistic rendition of Ice Warriors in the TARDIS.
Where does it come from?

I've always liked the fact that they weren't just another villain.
In THE CURSE OF PELADON, they were shown to be honourable and loyal members of the Galactic Federation. That means that they weren't simply one-dimensional, one-trick ponies. They were far more believable and realistic as an alien species.

I do like the original Mondasian Cybermen.
I mean you've got all that cybering going on, the surprised facial expression with that permanently open mouth and those conveniently situated handlebars on either side of their head...
What's not to like?

An excellent website full of some very impressive artwork.
Interesting. My favourite appearance has always been in The Curse of Peladon when they turned out to not be the villains. It was an unexpected twist that was unfortunately reversed in their next appearance. Looks like the latest episode has set them on the path to galactic citizenship.

@Doctor Omega
You are purely a genius and a benefactor - with the clock ticking down - little more than 24 hours to go - to the end of the academic year, I SO NEEDED THAT. Then the laptop will be unplugged for the summer, and I shall head unencumbered to the hills, powered down, shaking the dust of cyberspace from my shiny sequined summer shoes... and maybe see you all again when the leaves begin to turn and well-scrubbed student life-forms are once again returned to our tender ministrations.

Yes, I was disappointed by that reversal back to villainy in Monster of Peladon too.
