Candy Jar Books' Lethbridge-Stewart Range Comes to an End With Intelligence Taskforce

Candy Jar Books' #DoctorWho Lethbridge-Stewart Range Comes to an End With Intelligence Taskforce

Candy Jar Books’ fourth book in the final series of Lethbridge-Stewart novels brings the series to a close, while also establishing UNIT, a major player in the Third Doctor’s era and an organisation that remains key to the series even now. Intelligence Taskforce is written by Jonathan Blum, his second Lethbridge-Stewart novel, though he also penned several Doctor Who novels with his partner,…

'Doctor Who has introduced the modern "loud and proud" UNIT and freely admits it betrays the original vision of Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (Nicholas Courtney). In the final Doctor Who 60th anniversary special, UNIT request the aid of the Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant) to defeat the machinations of the Toymaker (Neil Patrick Harris) and his nightmarish giggle. However, where in the past the Doctor had been ferried in under the cover of darkness, this time he and Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) were publicly picked up by helicopter and taken to a fancy new skyscraper, complete with UNIT branding...

Doctor Who Admits UNIT Is Now Betraying The Classic Era's Values

When the Doctor and Donna land at the brand-new modern headquarters for the Unified Nations Intelligence Taskforce, he observes the key deviation from its original vision.

Kate Lethbridge-Stewart! I remember your father working night and day to keep UNIT secret. Look at you now, out and proud and defending the Earth!

When Kate Lethbridge-Stewart (Jemma Redgrave) was first introduced in "The Power of Three," she told the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) that she was embracing a new approach. The flashy new skyscraper and public presence marks the apotheosis of her fresh vision for the institution that her father helped to found. It's a betrayal of the original vision of a top-secret organization, but Doctor Who is unapologetic about this and likely for good reason.

During Jodie Whittaker's Doctor Who era, UNIT was defunded by a short-sighted government. This was largely thanks to the machinations of the Grand Serpent (Craig Parkinson), who took advantage of the Flux to place himself in a position of power and influence on Earth. Top-secret organizations are much easier for governments to dispense with, so while Kate may be betraying UNIT's original values in modern Doctor Who, it feels more like an evolution of her father's vision than a rejection of it...'

never ask a woman her age a man his salary or a unit era companion what year they're from

[shebeafancyflapjack]

No you don't get it!

Kate Stewart is looking after Wilf!

She ain't just setting him up in a cosy cottage with a garden and care staff - she's giving him access to top secret UNIT history! He's getting all the dirt on the Doctor, Liz, Jo, Benton etc from the 70s/80s! He's getting to see all the alien artifacts collected over the years! Kate is going round there for tea and a chat every Sunday, sharing stories her dad used to tell her and updating him on what the Doctor is up to and Wilf's eyes are sparkling every time while trying not to cry because he can't have these chats with his granddaughter.

Confession time

When my young self (less than 4 yrs old at least but idk exactly when) got to the part where the Brigadier came on regularly, I thought he was a Time Lord.

Just because they called him "the Brigadier" so often and apparently the "Lethbridge-Stewart" part flew straight in one ear and out the other.

I straight up thought "Brigadier" was just that guy's version of "Doctor" or "Master."

Guys I thought he was a Time Lord, and it took several years (and a lot of brain development) to realize otherwise.

young kate stewart when her father brings home a guy who he exclusively calls 'the doctor' (claims he has no other name), spends half of his time arguing with, yet spends a solid three whole weeks mourning when he disappears each time, and spends most of his time with her telling stories about him:
