The TARDIS arrives on Earth in the middle of a meteorite shower and the Doctor is found by UNIT troops and taken to a nearby hospital. The Brigadier is faced with having to cope not only with the mysterious meteorites but also with Ransome, an ex-employee of a local plastics factory, who claims he has seen a walking mannequin.
The meteorites turn out to be hollow globes containing the Nestene consciousness, a disembodied alien intelligence with an affinity for plastic. A Nestene agent, Channing, has infiltrated the plastics factory and is using energy from the globes to animate Autons – mannequin-like figures and realistic replicas of senior establishment figures – with the aim of colonising the Earth.
First Broadcast between the 3rd – 24th January 1970
Starring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor alongside Caroline John (Liz Shaw) and Nicholas Courtney (Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart).

How do young kids recognize adults these days?😮 When I was a kid they all dressed like this- in ties.
