Oh, of course. I'd forgotten it was called UNIT Files.

I love The Android Invasion. Most tend to not rate it in comparison with the other Hinchcliffe output but i think it has a charm about it.

Invasion as it was known prior to part two (Hide the dinosaurs so as not to spoil it back then - Hello Dinosaurs on a bloody Spaceship ) is very good...they just need to lose the dinosaurs and you've got a cracking thriller that would have sat nicely in Pertwee's first series.

I like it regardless tbh. Yes, it's not one I would rush to show any new fan, but I find some of the effects shots charming. The Kraal were thrown away as villians in my opinion, so I am looking forward to revisiting both.

Invasion of the Dinosaurs is one of my favourite Pertwees. Dinosaurs aside there's nothing bad I have to say about it. His final season is very underrated in general (I also preferred Monster of Peladon to Curse of Peladon)
