Home Planet of The Cybermen?
For many years there was much confusion amongst Doctor Who fans as to whether the Cybermen had originated on Mondas or Telos. The Tomb of the Cybermen merely states "Telos was their home planet," seemingly at odds with the statements in The Tenth Planet that Mondas is where the Cybermen have originated. The first edition of The Making of Doctor Who (1972) gives Telos as their home planet, as do several 1970s novelisations of the Cybermen stories by co-creator Gerry Davis. With the episodes becoming easily accessible and the issue being covered in magazines like Doctor Who Magazine the uncertainty declined in the 1980s and Attack of the Cybermen (1985) sought to resolve the conflicting claims by detailing how the Cybermen had conquered Telos.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or planet:
“Many women cut back what had to be done at home by redefining what the house, the marriage and, sometimes, what the child needs. One woman described a fairly common pattern: “I do my half. I do half of his half, and the rest doesn’t get done.””
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
