No details, but they DO exist in the same continuity! YAY!

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.

Not to mention Owen had a UNIT pass back in Ghost Machine.

I'm obviously incredibly unobservant!

Must have missed that - not as observant as I like to think sometimes.

Let's add the Christmas Invasion which featured UNIT HQ in the Tower of London, UNIT troops and Major Blake, a senior UNIT officer.

Good grief - I need to watch it again!

It's the rampant sex scenese. They're throwing you off your game.

Weren't they in Aliens of London too? When the Slitheen gathered together experts of aliens, I thought some were from UNIT.

I definitely remember some of them being Unit, yes.

I know just enough to say 'woohoo.' :-)

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.

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.
