2.21 Undermind

Andy and Martin travel back in time to the summer of 1965 and the
adventures of HR consultant Drew Heriot and his sister-in-law Anne
as they face up to the machinations of 'Undermind’: aliens who have
brainwashed British citizens in order to cause national unrest
ahead of their imminent invasion. Their various schemes include:
spreading pirate radio misinformation; inciting youth violence in a
seaside resort; influencing the works of a popular children’s
author; the distribution of suicide-inducing birthday records;
interference with the printing of exam papers, and most abominably
of all, the assassination of Eamonn Andrews! Yes, really. Starring
Jeremy Wilkin (best known as Kellman in Revenge of the Cybermen)
and Rosemary Nichols (Annabelle in ITC's Department S) Undermind is
an, often overlooked, sci-fi oddity created and ‘evolved by’ Robert
Banks Stewart and written by many familiar Doctor Who writers
including Bill Strutton, David Whitaker and Robert Holmes. Other
regular cast members were John Barron and Denis Quilley, while big
name guest stars included Michael Gough, Peter Barkworth, Barrie
Ingham, Judy Parfitt, Derek Francis and Philip Latham. Although
there is much to enjoy here, the series' convoluted and sometimes
incoherent plots tend to undermine (geddit?) its overall feel. Join
Andy and Martin as they attempt to review all 11 episodes in 2
hours! And find out which of them was brainwashed into drawing
Mulligatawny (a one-eyed turd with claws) while making their notes.
