From 1964 to 1968 Sandra Reid (Alexandra Tynan) was employed by the BBC as a Costume
Designer for light entertainment, period and modern drama productions. Among her most
notable works were the Mark I and Mark II designs for the Cybermen in 'Doctor Who'.
Arriving in Australia in 1968, she worked as a lecturer in Costume, Fashion and Textiles. She
later became a freelance designer for film, stage and television productions; her principal
credits being for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in a number of international coproductions.
David Banks
British actor David Banks has appeared in many television roles including East Enders and
Brookside. Primarily though, he was known as the Cyber Leader in the science fiction series
Doctor Who. Appearing in several of the later episodes featuring the Cybermen, Earthshock
(1982), The Five Doctors (1983), Attack of the Cybermen (1985), and Silver Nemesis (1988),
he also played the part of ‘Karl the mercenary’ in the stage play Doctor Who - The Ultimate
Adventure (1989) except for two performances when he appeared as The Doctor replacing Jon
Pertwee who had fallen ill.
David Banks also wrote Iceberg for the Virgin New Adventures range of Doctor Who spin-off
novels; it unsurprisingly featured the Cybermen. In 1988 he wrote a biographical work Doctor
Who - Cybermen. He adapted the book into four audio cassettes which he narrated.
