Susan was right... it's Kevin Clarke.

Jesus! I better go a fling myself into the time vortex right now. God help us!

I would rather have Russell T. Davies write this two parter.

Lord have mercy.

Now Susan's tempted fate, I suspect it probably will be be Kevin Clarke.

'Genesis Of The Daleks' worked because the Daleks have remained the same, regardless of whether it is their first appearance ['The Daleks' (1963) or 'Genesis Of The Daleks' (1975) depending on how you look at things] or their latest one ['The Magicians Apprentice'/'The Witches Familiar' (2015)]

'Genesis Of The Cybermen' will need to be done perfectly, otherwise it runs the risk of failure, especially for casual, young and new fans, for the simple reason that the Cybermen have changed so much over the years, both in body and voice. They run the risk of being unrecognisable to anyone who isn't well versed in Who-lore

Especially if there is a Cyber Controller character!

Philip Morris has just done a brief interview with DWO, says nothing he hasn't said before, but then at the end bizarrely and unnecessarily adds "We will return".

Which is a Cyberman line from Wheel, funnily enough.

Then we have to consider the possibility that maybe The Wheel In Space could be unleashed when this two-part Cybermen story surfaces in the new Dr Who series? It would make sense. But all of this is just the usual guessing. Would be rather nice though.

Bet most people on the forum have absolutely no idea what this means!

The interview with Arrow star John Barrowman is an exhausting 9 pages long in the latest Doctor Who Magazine.

So if you are a fan of Captain Jack Harkness it's well worth buying.

There may be more animations on the way, with an interview with the head guy behind Power hinting that they were surprised to get the go-ahead to do Power "first", ahead of stories with just a few episodes missing. BBC Worldwide have also been hinting at more classic releases on Twitter.
Sounds encouraging!
