The Android Invasion

A fake village, inhabited by people brought in on a lorry, and who only come to life at specified times - always fun to see DW hinting at its own artifice.

The racing mechanic look for the armed androids is an excellent choice - both smart and menacing.

It's very odd indeed to see Benton and Harry Sullivan again in this - after Planet of Evil they seem like dinosaurs from another era. It would have been far better to leave UNIT after Terror of the Zygons.

Like other Terry Nation stories, this has some memorable ideas (the fake village, the mint-new money, getting to Earth by pod) but the story itself isn't very exciting.
