(2/2) I also found the same material was reused and updated for two further books by the author. The next was in 1983 - "Fifty Facts About Robots". While the Daleks are still called robots, the Cybermen have been updated with a drawing of two 'Revenge of the Cybermen' style! (Although the left hand Cyberman does look a bit iffy!)
And in 1985, "Just Look At... Robotics" the entry about Daleks being robots has gone! (Hurrah!) And for the Cybermen there's a photo from Earthshock.

(🧵1/2) As we all sit down to enjoy the two #DoctorWho #Dalek missing episodes today (or rather 'no longer' missing episodes!) I earlier went on the hunt to track down a book I repeatedly borrowed from the library back in the very early 1980's about robots, which had really annoyed me all those years ago!
While I was only a very young kid at the time, fresh from watching Resurrection of the Daleks and Earthshock, this "Robots" book (Mark Lambert, 1981) had a big glaring error... It considered the Daleks to be robots! How could they be considered robots - they have squishy green blobs inside! (That were so evident in Resurrection - the only Dalek story I'd seen at the time!)
And while also mentioning Cybermen from Doctor Who, the drawing they labelled as a Cyberman clearly wasn't (as you'll see in the photos!) and that irked me far more than the Dalek mention! (I did prefer the #Cybermen to the Daleks!)

Pretty sure every Doctor Who fan knows better than to try one of these.
