Your thoughts on this story....

The Doctor and Sarah return to Earth in the present day to find a strangely deserted village and woods stalked by white-clad figures.

Ian Marter, Harry Sullivan's War

The actor who played Harry Sullivan on Doctor Who also made a career of writing Whonovels, including novelizations of some of the stories Harry appeared in, but also others. He was known for his somewhat florid prose style (famously, one character's resentment is like "pus festering in a boil") and his extreme violence. In Harry Sullivan's War, the Doctor's former companion takes center stage, thwarting a sinister conspiracy that forces him to go to NATO Headquarters in Geneva (!), and have a climactic fight scene atop the Eiffel Tower. It's sort of a James Bond-esque romp in which the Brigadier (now teaching at a boarding school) and Sarah-Jane Smith both cameo. But no Doctor, sadly.

A creepy premise executed lazily by Terry - take the money and fly like a thief - Nation.

• Kenneth Williams noted this story in his diaries, writing that Doctor Who was getting "more and more silly".
