 The United Nations Intelligence Taskforce has been at the forefront of intelligence-gathering and special operations outside operational norms since 1968.  Formed in response to a series of incidents on the London Underground in that year, UNIT was a dedicated taskforce specialising in un-territorial incursions.
 

United Nations Intelligence Taskforce

* Wartime
During all his years working for the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce, Warrant Officer John Benton never failed in his duty - but once, long ago, he did.  While on a seemingly routine delivery run for the Brigadier, Benton finds himself close to his childhood home, where ghosts from his past have never rested easily...  Trapped in a nightmare world where past and present are one, will he be lost forever or can he fight his way back to reality, where he is desperately needed?
 
* The Killing Stone
In a Meditation Centre deep in the Chiltern Hills, Mike Yates is in a contemplative mood. His years of faithful service to the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce have come to an abrupt end, and he is having to take his leave of the people he has come to think of as Family.  When the Brigadier suggests that his former Captain take a holiday in Morocco, Mike finds himself embroiled in an exciting battle with an old enemy that could mean the end for UNIT, the Doctor and the World.
 
* Downtime
"Find the Locus"
It is twenty years since The Great Intelligence last attempted an invasion of Earth, today its evil web is again reaching out towards us!  Using The New World University as its cover and the zombie-like Chilly students as its pawns, the Intelligence now seeks to control the minds of every human being.  Tangled in this new struggle are its old enemies Victoria Waterfield and Professor Travers - but whose side are they on?  Fighting alone this time, without their famous scientific advisor, The Brigadier and Sarah Jane Smith of UNIT are hard pressed to decide who is friend or foe as they search for the missing Locus which still binds the Intelligence's power.  Battle is joined as the Brigadier's own family is threatened and UNIT faces a monstrous new breed of Yeti!
 
* Daemos Rising
Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, daughter of Brigadier Alistair, receives an urgent message from former UNIT man Douglas Cavendish. She travels to his house in the British countryside. Douglas is in a terrible state, hitting the bottle, and terrorised by a sinister statue in the grounds and a presence that haunts the house…
 
* The Coup (23' 08")
UNIT is finished. The UK Division prepares to cede its authority to a new organisation... but who is attempting to sabotage the hand-over?
 
* Time Heals (70' 18")
The UK branch of UNIT is under threat. The Government wants its own military investigative organisation, one under its sole control. The public want answers to the strange things that have been happening recently.  When the division's commanding officer goes missing whilst transporting a dangerous cargo, Colonel Emily Chaudhry, UNIT's political officer, is thrown in at the deep end. Things are not helped when a series of accidents show a bizarre pattern.  The Brigadier, meanwhile, is trying to enjoy his retirement ­ but it seems it is time again for him to come to the rescue.
 
* Snake Head (60' 58")
A mobile phone call to the emergency services, a body found on Government land and an ancient burial site unearthed at an archaeological dig all point toward an odd mystery by the coast…  UNIT's new commander, Colonel Robert Dalton, and its political officer, Colonel Emily Chaudhry, investigate strange goings-on in Southend. What is out there on the beach? What happened to the recently found savaged body? And what of the man who's just been smuggled in to the country?  Is this just a simple case for the local police or, as Chaudhry suspects, is there more to it than meets the eye…?
 
* The Longest Night (72' 15")
'We interrupt this broadcast…' Having survived a day at the seaside, Robert Dalton and Emily Chaudhry are enjoying a few pints… Having spent the day answering the phone and praying for some action, Will Hoffman is enjoying a night out… Having signed a controversial new European treaty, the Prime Minister is on his way back to Downing Street… Having survived yet another day, the people of Britain are settling down to eat dinner, stay in, go out, spend time with their friends…
'… we're receiving reports that…'
It's just another ordinary evening in the United Kingdom…
'… a bomb has exploded in Central London…'
 
* The Wasting (72' 15")
A deadly flu-like infection is sweeping the planet. Its first cases appeared in Britain but now millions are infected worldwide and there is no sign of a cure. The emergency services can't cope with what the press have dubbed a plague…  Under attack from all sides, UNIT in Britain is in disarray. It faces a stark choice - to close its doors and concede defeat, or to fight back, whatever the cost… and the injured Colonel Emily Chaudhry knows UNIT has never backed down from a battle…  If UNIT is to fight back, it's going to need the services of its missing commander, Colonel Brimmicombe-Wood, and the experience of the Brigadier, who can never refuse when duty calls…
