Doctor Who: Survivors Of The Flux Review - 6 Ups & 6 Downs
5. UP - UNIT Are Back!
This feels good to talk about. We’ve missed these beret-clad lads immensely during their six year hiatus, with UNIT having last appeared in 2015’s The Zygon Invasion / The Zygon Inversion. We’re also pleased to see that UNIT were written out of Resolution for more than a cheap Brexit joke. As it turns out, they had bigger problems of the slithery variety.
Classic Whovians were treated to something we’ve not seen since the show’s revival, which will likely delight many fans: an appearance from the classic 60’s UNIT, complete with the old uniforms, a classic era TARDIS, and a little offscreen cameo from a certain fan favourite.
Chibs went on to spoil us even further, treating the Moffat fans as well, with the return of the nation’s sweetheart: Kate Stewart. Kate didn’t have a huge role this week, but it was wonderful to see her, and it’s clear she won’t be going down without a fight next week - we just hope that Osgood is along for the ride too. Fingers crossed!
