New Commanding Officer

As we know, Doctor Who is back on our screens tonight for a brand new series, and UNIT are set to return in Episodes 4 and 5. In this story they will be commanded by Colonel Mace (played by Rupert Holiday Evans) – who rumour has described as ‘the new Brigadier’.



If this rumour is true, and UNIT’s new Commanding Officer is indeed a Colonel and not a Brigadier, then clearly the British Contingent has been downsized from a Brigade to a Regiment. Funnily enough, this would actually make sense, considering Labour’s Defence cuts over the recent years!
