Non-Pertwee UNIT stories?

The Borgified Corpse

Admiral

Which classic stories out there incorporate the Brigadier and/or UNIT but weren't from the Jon Pertwee years when they were in pretty much every story?

I know there's...
"The Invasion" & "The War Games" during the Patrick Troughton years
"Robot" at the beginning of the Tom Baker years
"Rememberance of the Daleks" had a sort of proto-UNIT organization

What else?
 
Terror Of The Zygons
The Android Invasion(No Brig though)
The Seeds Of Doom(No Brig again)
Battlefield

He and Sarah Jane and Victoria were all in Downtime as well.

Not The War Games. Perchance, you're thinking of The Web of Fear...?

Maybe, but The Web of Fear is just the regular army and Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart :)

Plus there's Mawdryn Undead and The Five Doctors, both of which featured the Brigadier (and TFD features UNIT in a small capacity).

I'm a bit fuzzy on Classic stuff... is Mawdryn Undead with the retired Brig and Adric? I ask as I think I'm confusing two stories and can't be sure...
 
You're confusing two stories. It is with the retired Brig, but Adric isn't there...

Using the wonders of Google and Wikipedia - I soted it out. I'm thinking of the right story but the wrong person.

This is what happens when I'm cut off from Classic who for only two years :|

I also stumbled on Brigs page and realised I have absolutely no recollection of Battlefield, despite having seen that era more than any other. I should have put some Doctor Who DVDs on my Christmas list instead of DS9...
 
Battlefield is one-half good old-fashioned Who, and one-half cheesy overacting. The saving grace, and main charm of the episode is it being the last (so far) Brigadier story. Nicholas Courtney never loses his touch... :techman:
 
In addition, the Doctor relies on his UNIT credentials in Timeflight, but it doesn't have any further involvement.
