Doctor Who meets the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Just this time they are android replicas controlled by rhino-looking aliens set on invading Earth. This also marks the true end of the UNIT era with a final appearance of Harry Sullivan and Benton. The best image from the story is people's faces falling off to reveal the inner circuitry of the android duplicate. Of course this adventure is a fun romp around the home counties of England and getting a nice tour of local village life. For UNIT's swan song, it's rather anti-climatic and doesn't do the UNIT family justice after nearly 7 year run. Thank goodness the 5th Doctor story Mawdryn Undead forms a lovely coda to the UNIT era.
