On an early assignment, he is shot and falls off a cliff during a confrontation with a criminal, but miraculously survives unscathed. Years later, on the day he retires, he meets his adoptive father and mentor, neither of whom have aged, and they wipe his memory. </p><p>In the far future, the last of humanity is hiding from the last of the <a href="/wiki/Cybermen" class="mw-redirect" title="Cybermen">Cybermen</a>, who have hunted them almost to extinction. As a pair of Cybershuttles arrive overhead, the Doctor and her companions arrive and attempt but fail to protect them, and some of the humans are killed. The Doctor orders her companions to leave with the remaining humans on their ship, and get to safety, but Ryan and another human named Ethan are separated by the Cybermen's only partially cyberconverted leader, Ashad. Ryan and Ethan escape to assist the Doctor in hijacking one of the Cybershuttles, but the Cybermen pursue in another Cybershuttle. </p><p>In deep space, Yaz, Graham, and the other three humans, Yedlarmi, Ravio and Bescot, discover that they are travelling through a battlefield surrounded by dead Cybermen. They board an abandoned Cybercarrier, a large Cyberman ship, which they believe can take them to "Ko Sharmus", a haven which is supposedly home to the Boundary, a portal that sends humans to the other side of the universe where they cannot easily be followed by the Cybermen. Graham and Ravio investigate and discover the Cybercarrier holds thousands of fresh Cybermen warriors in stasis just as Ashad and his crew dock their shuttle. </p><p>The Doctor, Ryan, and Ethan arrive on the planet where Ko Sharmus is. They discover that Ko Sharmus is a person who helped other humans through the Boundary but remained behind as a ferryman in case others had survived. He takes them to the Boundary, and a portal opens. Ashad and the Cybermen begin drilling into the warriors and resurrecting them, while Graham and Ravio return to the control deck. Ashad leads the warriors to the control deck as Yaz manages to contact the Doctor, warning her that the ship is almost there, but it is carrying numerous warriors. </p><p>The Doctor watches in horror, as the other side of the portal reveals the ruined <a href="/wiki/Gallifrey" class="mw-redirect" title="Gallifrey">Gallifrey</a>, much to everyone's confusion. <a href="/wiki/The_Master_(Doctor_Who)" title="The Master (Doctor Who)">The Master</a> leaps through, exclaiming that the Doctor should be afraid because everything is about to change forever. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ascension_of_the_Cybermen&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Development">Development</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ascension_of_the_Cybermen&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>"Ascension of the Cybermen" was written by <a href="/wiki/Chris_Chibnall" title="Chris Chibnall">Chris Chibnall</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-ChibnallEpisodes_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ChibnallEpisodes-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-DWM_548_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DWM_548-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Further episode details were announced in <i><a href="/wiki/Doctor_Who_Magazine" title="Doctor Who Magazine">Doctor Who Magazine</a></i> #548 in early February 2020.<sup id="cite_ref-DWM_548_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DWM_548-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Casting">Casting</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ascension_of_the_Cybermen&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Casting"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Julie_Graham" title="Julie Graham">Julie Graham</a> was cast as Ravio in the episode.<sup id="cite_ref-DWM_548_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DWM_548-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Ian_McElhinney" title="Ian McElhinney">Ian McElhinney</a> and <a href="/wiki/Steve_Toussaint" title="Steve Toussaint">Steve Toussaint</a> guest star in the two-part finale, "Ascension of the Cybermen" / "The Timeless Children".<sup id="cite_ref-Toussaint_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Toussaint-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Filming">Filming</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ascension_of_the_Cybermen&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Filming"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Jamie_Magnus_Stone" title="Jamie Magnus Stone">Jamie Magnus Stone</a> directed the fifth block, consisting of the ninth and tenth episodes.<sup id="cite_ref-Directors_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Directors-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Bradley Walsh who plays Graham said that the "Ascension of the Cybermen" was his favourite episode to film. “This episode by a country mile is my favourite", he remarked in a behind-the-scenes video.
