This was the first episode in the 8th season (1970) of BBC’s Doctor Who and the first season broadcast in color and the first episode featuring the brilliant Jon Pertwee in the role
of The Doctor.
The Doctor joins the crew of UNIT (United Nations Intelligence Task Force) to aid them in their battle against alien menaces (all of whom seem to only attck within a ...
couple miles of UNIT’s HQ, never in, say, Greenland). This four part episode features the debut of the Autons, evil plastic robot henchmen to the disembodied aliens, The Nestenes, and only the Doctor
can overthrow their plot.
Sure, this episode is far from original and the Autons and the Nestenes are pretty blah as aliens go, but Pertwee’s performance makes this a fun outing for all fans of the Doctor.
