About this Item

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 behaviour is directed by the NESTENE CONSCIOUSNESS ? a malignant, squid-like monster of cosmic proportions 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

As new copy, new cover from 1983.
