Animated reconstruction

I think this is significant enough to warrant its own section (there was already an external link to the BBC page). I wonder if it would be OK to use a screen capture from the trailer to illustrate the point? 23skidoo 16:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the smaller picture of the Second Doctor and Zoe in the news article would be a better one to use. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 16:38, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dating - 1975?

On the blurb of the BBC audio soundtrack CD release of this serial it says it takes place in 1975 - seemed quite specific so i would have thought this would have been taken as this episode's dating but according to the UNIT dating controversy page on Wikipedia The Invasion takes place in 1979 at the earliest... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Winterspell (talk • contribs) 22:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh UNIT dating, such joy! To give you a crash course on it, no UNIT story involving the Brigadier can occur after 1976 (see Mawdryn Undead) and it is most likely that UNIT was formed in either 1967 or 1968 (see The Web of Fear). This would place The Invasion in either 1971 or 1972 as the Brigadier states that is has been four years since events of the The Web of Fear. I have also altered the section entitled Planet 14 as I believe their is overwhelming evidence that this advanced form of cyberman is of the same party seen in Attack of the Cybermen and indeed Silver Nemesis. - Andrew Byatt 11:05 13 October 2008 (UTC)
