The first mention of Torchwood, the big laser that blasted the aliens on Ten's arrival, had the PM saying she wanted to bypass UNIT. But it's nice that it's established in that continuity, too.
And the missile was launched through the UNIT web site.
Those experts got killed though, so UNIT might have been significantly weakened by that, and there have been other organisations wanting to take it over in the past, so the writers could probably have had Torchwood take over UNIT if they had wanted.
I have seen a little of Hartnell, most of Troughton and most of Pertwee. Although when I say most, the person who's showing them (one episode a week, no more), does cut together the boring episodes into a longer overview piece. I've missed on the last three months worth (what's that fourteen episodes?) of Tom Baker episodes.
