In some ways, the guy on the left looks a little bit like Keith Moon, but I'm really not convinced

It is Keith Moon and if you search for "Jon Pertwee and Keith Moon" you will find trhis picture on pinterest, I do not have an account so I can only see the preview and the description says it was taken at the the rehearsals for the December 1973 version of Tommy at the Rainbow Theatre...

Edit: Funny coincident, you said "oddity" and te third man on the picture is called Bill Oddie

I totally agree. I think it's because the Cybermen under Moffat's design are nowhere near as imposing as those Invasion ones. They look a bit pathetic and have done since i first clapped eyes on them in the godawful Nightmare in Silver. They are too small in size and have too much design on them.

Russel T's Cybermen looked a lot more imposing i thought.

Another series finale that started out really well but somewhere fell apart. It wasn't the reveal of Missy or using corpses to create a Cyber army it was more what was the point of creating a Cyber army and the fact the Cybermen have in recent years suddenly been able to upgrade to resolve any problem, even flying! How they can suddenly fly has never been explained, where does the fuel go?

As a synopsis it tells you absolutely nothing. Which could mean loads will happen or it will be a damp squib that basically has nothing to say and no story.
