In the episode, the alien time traveller the Doctor (Matt Smith) and the nanny Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman) bring Clara's charges Angie (Eve de Leon Allen) and Artie (Kassius Carey Johnson) to an extraterrestrial theme park, where an army of cyborgs called Cybermen reawaken centuries after their defeat in a war. The Cybermen discover the Doctor, and transform him into a "Cyber-Planner", which creates a split personality fighting for control of the Doctor's body with a game of chess.
The episode was the first to feature the Cybermen since the episode "Closing Time" in the previous series. It was watched by 6.64 million viewers in the United Kingdom and received generally positive reviews from critics.[1]
