Monsters in Metropolis (audio story): Difference between revisions

== Notes ==

* This was the first story in a performed medium in which the Ninth Doctor encounters the Cybermen. ''[[Supremacy of the Cybermen (comic story)|Supremacy of the Cybermen]], [[The Bidding War (comic story)|The Bidding War]]'' and ''[[The Patchwork Pierrot (short story)|The Patchwork Pierrot]]'' had previously made the match in print. The Ninth Doctor also came across the [[Cyberman (Dalek)|inert Cyberman helmet]] in ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', a scene which [[Matt Fitton]] felt made their eventual encounter "inevitable". ([[VOR 152]])

* Although the synopsis claims that the story is set in [[1927]], dialogue within the story actually establishes the setting as [[1925]]. Likewise in the real world ''[[Metropolis (film)|Metropolis]]'' was filmed in 1925 but released in 1927.

* The Doctor scrapes [[gold]] into the Cyberman's [[chest unit]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Earthshock (TV story)|Earthshock]]'')

* During an adventure on the planet Calandra, having been "hijacked" by [[Time Agent]] [[Keira Sanstrom]], the [[Twelfth Doctor]] is reminded of being at the film shoot for ''Metropolis'' and encountering a Cyberman, comparing it to the "chrome trimmings" Calandra has. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Flight to Calandra (audio story)|Flight to Calandra]]'')
