Product description -
In this, the first adventure of his third 'incarnation', DOCTOR WHO, Liz Shaw and the Brigadier grapple with the nightmarish invasion of the AUTONS — living, giant-sized, plastic-modelled 'humans' with no hair and sightless eyes; waxwork replicas and tailors' dummies whose murderous behavior is directed by the NESTENE CONSCIOUSNESS — a malignant, squid-like monster of cosmic proportins and indescribably hideous appearance.
'This DOCTOR WHO adventure (televised as Spearhead from Space) wins my vote as the best in the lifetime of the series so far.'
Matthew Coady, The Daily Mirror
'DOCTOR WHO, the children's own programme which adults adore...'
Gerard Garrett, The Daily Sketch

In het eerste avontuur van zijn derde 'incarnatie' bindt DOCTOR WHO samen met Liz Shaw en de brigadegeneraal de strijd aan met de AUTONEN - levende, reusachtige, van plastic gemaakte 'mensen' zonder haar en met nietsziende ogen: kopieen van mensen in een wassenbeeldenmuseum en etalagepoppen waarvan het moorddadige optreden wordt bestuurd door het NESTEENSE BREIN - een kwaadaardig inktvisachtig monster van kolossale afmetingen.

Product description -
A mysterious shower of meteorites lands in Essex, and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart of UNIT has reason to believe that they have been deliberately aimed at the Earth's surface.
The Doctor joins forces with the Brigadier and Liz Shaw in a desperate bid to prevent the nightmarish invasion of the sinister Autons. Living models of human beings — their murderous behavior is controlled and directed by the Nestene Consciousness, a malignant, squid-like monster of cosmic proportions and indescribably hideous appearance.

'Here at UNIT we deal with the odd - the unexplained. We're prepared to tackle anything on Earth. Or even from beyond the Earth, if necessary.'

The Nestene Consciousness has begun its first attempt to invade Earth using killer Autons and deadly shop window dummies. Only the Doctor and UNIT can stop the attack. But the Doctor is recovering in hospital, and his old friend the Brigadier doesn't even recognise him. Can the Doctor recover and win UNIT's trust before the invasion begins?
