Am old enough to remember when a) Jed Mercurio claimed his new SF show 'Invasion Earth' would see Doctor Who 'consigned to the dustbin', b) that it cast Fred Ward and Phyllis Logan - together at last! and c) Peter Haining got a book out of it, so yeah, totally different to Who.

Gotta put butts in theater seats! Here is a snippet of a movie poster from the 1960s. What film is this poster advertising?

The Man From UNCLE - ‘The Vampire Affair’ (1966). Finished reading this last night and it was surprisingly rewarding! Set in Transylvania, David McDaniel’s research was accurate for geography, local history, and the political state of Romania under Russia. And funny!

It was certainly from DOCTOR WHO, but I recall being mostly fascinated rather than scared. I think seeing the Cybermen on urban streets rather than distant planets put the wind up me, though.

Part of the famous scene (and photoshoot) from DOCTOR WHO "The Invasion" (1968) showing a cadre of Cybermen (Mk.IVs, I think) walking down the since heavily remodelled stairs on Peter's Hill with St. Paul's Cathedral massive in the background.

Hot take (from Belgium): if the CGI Tintin movie had gone with this look – rather than the ‘you can see the pores of their skin’ bullshit (and, you know, not decided they could write a better ending than Hergé) – it could have been an all timer.
