Season 26 begins with the first real U*N*I*T story in a long time. You could almost call this one "The Two Brigadiers". To help Brigadier Bambera cope with the 7th Doctor and soldiers from another dimension, ex-Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart arrives to give advice. Jean Marsh (Upstairs, Downstairs, The House Of Eliot, Sara Kingdom from The Daleks' Master Plan) guest stars.
