Well, folks. There seems to be a LOT of talk about Robots on _Doctor
Who_! Well, here is a list compiled with the help of some reference
books of all robots which have appeared from Hartnell to the end of
Tom Baker's (can't just say Baker anymore, sorry Colin!) era.
Info is given in production order, and multiple appearances are noted
only in the original episode (Do you *really* need to know *all* the
episodes featuring Cybermen????) First, the "Pure" (100% mechanical)
robots, then the "Half-breeds", and finally, Maniac Computers.

Don't forget Mr. Sin from The Talons of Wing Chiang (Tom Baker). I'd say that you'd classify Mr. Sin (the peking something-or-other) as a half-breed robot; it had a pig's cerebral cortex as its biological component. D. Bartholomew
