SPEARHEAD FROM SPACE

Last night, I watched the first story starring the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) as he has just regenerated into his third form and found himself exiled to Earth of the 70's by his own people where he teams up with Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (Nicholas Courtney) of UNIT and the scientist Liz Shaw (Caroline John) to stop the incorporeal intelligence the Nestenes from colonising the planet through their use of the Autons, killer beings made of plastic which act as human duplicates and shop-window mannequins.
I have never seen this story before and it was really good and a bit scary with the shop window mannequins breaking out of the shop windows and killing people with their gun hands.
Pertwee was brilliant as the Doctor and his facial expressions are funny.
It is sad that the whole cast of actors have sadly passed away now.
I shall rate this story as a decent 8/10.
