		At the tender age of 26, it would not have been surprising if Tom MacRae was daunted when faced with the responsibility of bringing back one of the Doctor’s most memorable foes, the Cybermen, for the new series of Doctor Who – but what he felt was, in fact, quite the opposite.
		“I’ve known [lead writer] Russell [T Davies] for a long time, and I happened to have a certain profile with [Controller BBC Drama Commissioning] Jane Tranter and [Head Of Drama Serials] Laura Mackie when she was still at the BBC, and they were all happy for me to do it,” Tom says.
		Rise Of The Cybermen sees the Tardis trapped in an alternate world where the Doctor, Rose and Mickey battle to save a society being seduced by the promise of the “Ultimate Upgrade”.Tom admits that it was actually helpful to have some boundaries to work within when coming up with the idea for the story.
