UNIT - The Self Preservation Society

[6Qubed]

...That is *not* the music I was expecting for a scene that includes the words "five rounds rapid."

[TheExogenerate]

Yep, it's Doctor Who, where everything except white point stars are bullet proof.

[227060]

Sadely the Brig cannot reappear in Dr Who. but i see no reason why other UNIT veterans can't like Yates or Benton or my personal fave Harry Sullivan

[227060]

@MissDevilhead yeah i only recently. I was gutted, he was underrated and actually a bit of a competent and badass companion really, like the 1970s answer to Ian Chesterton, albeit a brief answer. well that leaves Benton and Yates

[asdasd439]

0:53 He sure is happy firing that bazooka.

[JediSlayer22]

May Nicholas Courtney rest in peace.

[AlexanderT21]

"Chap with the wings there, five rounds rapid."

How nonchalant of him.

[MrJKapowey]

I love it how the majority of the things UNIT does with their SLRs would almost certainly have a much better effect than is shown here. Like quickly destroying an auton.

[Cadeyrnable]

@MrJKapowey ComsatAngel, in his brilliant UNIT UK series, utilised that theory very effectively. .50 cals fired from the hip work even better, though ;).

[RC1309]

Rest in Peace, Nicholas Courtney. The Brig may not have made it outta Peru, but he can give 'em five rounds rapid in the afterlife. You will be missed.

[TDGCaputMortis]

At ease Brigadier

Good show old chap, time for some well deserved R&R

Stand Down

We could all sleep sounder in our beds knowing that solid dependable chaps like the Brig and his boys were ready to deal with any troublesome alien blighters who stepped out of line

God Speed!

[pdbgalaxy]

All hail to the Brig! Five rounds rapid to a true gent and wonderful ambassador for Doctor Who - you will be missed! RIP Nicholas Courtney

[pdbgalaxy]

Five Rounds Rapid to the Brigadier! RIP Nicholas Courtney you will be missed

[gary911203]

RIP Brigadier



[Lethstewmark]

RIP The Brigadier.

[CMOT101]

Take care on your new travels Brigadier

[Yakovlievich]

Should be a national day of mourning in the UK for Nicholas Courtney's funeral, if you ask me.

[noodwow]

RIP Brig! We'll miss ya. :(

[richardpurves]

R.I.P. Brigadier :(

Although it's also amusing to see my mate Pete McGowan as a soldier 1:18 in!

[sarabian11]

RIP Brigadier

[MJJisalive09]

R.I.P Brig :( you will be missed

[shaftsbury94]

dont fuck wid the brig.

[BremhillWolf]

2:30 Monkeys in the local zoo have taken one dip too many in the radiation pool.

[VladiGB]

Que es esto!!???

[nuclearbugman]

0:41 an early weeping angel perhaps?

[BearClawTN]

wait a minute! was that "chap with wings there" one of those Angels? If it is, then it was definately a very weak one.

[paratoad1]

u r bloody awsome

[Nelsanski33]

Some of my favourites are the UNIT epsiodes...

[farshnuke]

It is ironic that I regard the average soldier with the same disdain someone might give to a pest control person and yet whenever I think about those poor people at unit I feel quite empathetic of the tough decisions they had to make. I think I'm probably a hypocrit.

[SnakeOnAPlane]

@farshnuke Why disdain soldiers? Or pest control people for that matter!?

[SuperSmasher1]

So the brig is the only UNIT member who can actually aim?

[farshnuke]

@SuperSmasher1 no it's just that every enemy they face can't be damaged by bullets.

[bobandquizo]

UNIT are awesome

[chakorn1]

3:48 You're only supposed to blow the BLODDY DOORS OFF!

[pantking]

LOL

[chakorn1]

*Bloody

[TheCGIMaster]

gotta love the shop dummys!

[pelamar121]

torchwood is s**t there a bunch of wussys

unit is all i need the old unit was beter though

[viewiers]

The Master shot at 1:36 LOL

[SimonFoston]

That has to be one of the most annoying songs ever written.

[Rakanarshi]

Haha, I wish the new Doctor who was as good as this! :P

[mimkyodar]

I'm loving the crazy speed ramps. Normally I don't like spped ramps, but it works.

[j1o2h3n4n5y]

Was that Spock on the bazzuka!

[NYCPulpHero]

the what now? BAZOOKA.

[j1o2h3n4n5y]

I couldn't be arsed looking it up.

[ANIMEisTHEkoolioist]

OMG it totally was! haha!

[rathraven1313]

That was Benson.

[animegirl1136]

great video love the comment you made about the star trek red shirt thing too

[knobstick]

If you get a chance to listen to The Scarifyers (a BBC7 radio show). It stars Nicholas Courtney as Inspector Lionheart and Terry Molloy as Professor Dunning, better known as Brigadier Lethbidge Stewart and Davros! It's pretty good, if you like classic Doctor Who humour it'll be your sort of thing.

[scottlong09]

they were fighting monsters made out of

tham ruber and some of them were killed

[youngcharlie36]

Chap with the wings, 5 rounds rapid. Best line ever in Sci-fi

[lukessummer]

You have to love the Brigadier!

[rathraven1313]

I like: "For once, i would like to face an enemy that wasn't immune to bullets."

[toclafance]

I sometimes wish I'd worked in a bank

[brummieforlife26]

Its great to see that UNIT is still as useless as ever in defeating alien invasions.

Though they did put up a good show against the sontarans!

PS Bring back the brig RTD and MR Moffett

[classrule]

you may be getting your wish soon ^^

a little bird told me so... and then I googled screencaps. Whoot!

[toclafance]

The Brig's appearing in the Series 2 Sarah Jane Adventures Finale (Enemy Of The Bane, featuring the Sontarans).

[rathraven1313]

In the Planet of the Dead, they brought back UNIT.

[OTimeMasterXO]

and made it rubbish. Aside from Lee Evans of course.

[mikeancl]

U.N.I.T actully made their first apperance in the Patrick Troughton series

[SimplyPaul]

Enjoyable video- thanks for sharing :)

[0super0fantastic0]

How many different Who aliens have had their hands open up and turn into guns/shooty weapons of some sort? Unit for the win.

[tangerinealarm]

UNIT were protecting the Earth, saving us from daffodils and daemons, with hot chocolate, tea and Jo Grant! That's worth a few loosing a few people along the way.

Great work.

[Primsong]

Great ending line. x-D

[Genne]

I will ALWAYS be a UNIT fangirl at heart!

[StefJR14]

Poor UNIT! The things the Brig had to put up with, it's a wonder why he didn't retire the moment he met the Doctor.

[DarthBoolean]

Just doing what he had to do for Queen and Country.

[StefJR14]

And ending up risking everything. The unamed UNIT soldier is our version of the red shirts.

[DarthBoolean]

Except the Red Shirts could never outmaneuver a Klingon by running up some stairs. XD

[FreakBeastie]

bring back the brig! like in downtime!

[uncannyrman]

UNIT FTW! Especially the Brig! Five round srapid!

[VintageRomana]

Did you see the smile on the face of the guy with the bazooka!

[DoctorWhoisit]

That was Benton dummy! ;)

[rooney62danny]

makes me think of minis!

[vanillaorchid]

Couldn't watch it. Stopped at 55 secs.

[HCShannon]

The song comes from the original 1969 Italian Job!

[coolrosetyler]

This video is fantastic , i only wanted to hear the song itself and what do i find , U.N.I.T. fighting when the song is played , fantastic , i love Doctor Who's U.N.I.T. Years from the 70's but never knew this could happen , D'OH ! , 10/10 ! WELL DONE !.

[GeneralAramis]

This is going straight into my favourites! I absolutely adore UNIT, and there aren't many vids about them. The best ep was Daemons, I think.

[CrabbyLioness]

Brilliant! Love those guys.  And proof that anyone who says UNIT is sooo much better than Torchwood has a very selective memory.

[briegegrant]

dunno how accurate the song is to UNIT....

squee tho, what wonderful clips
