Episode 102: “Spearhead From Space” and “The Power Of Three”

The Brigadier Chronicles begin with a look at the 3rd Doctor's debut adventure. Alasdair sets the scene for what was essentially a reboot of the entire show, one that has hugely influenced subsequent relaunches for the show including "Rose", "The Eleventh Hour", and even the 1996 TV movie! But beyond that, it's just a fantastic story, with the Autons and the Nestene never better (at least without Rory around, that one is close actually) than they are here. We also check in on "The Power Of Three," the official restart of a Lethbridge-Stewart running UNIT. Allison still has her issues with the ending, but Kate Stewart really is delightful, and she only gets better from here.
