Quotes
====================================
"Ah, Mister Benton. Any news of the Doctor yet? He ought to have materialised by now." ~ Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart
"Anyway, it's nice to see you again, Brigadier. Though I didn't expect to see you in a kilt." ~ Sarah Jane Smith
"Brigadier, Brigadier! Have you brought me two hundred and seventy million miles just to sort out a little trouble at sea?" ~ The 4th Doctor
Huckle: Correction, concrete boots. Thousands of tons of it. Those babies are meant to be unsinkable.
The 4th Doctor: Yes, so was the Bismarck, and we all know that story.
"Tullock Moor's a strange, murky sort of place. When the mist comes down, it's like steam frae a witch's cauldron. Nobody from these parts will cross the moor after dark." ~ Angus Ferguson McRanald
"Maybe, but I'm certain of one thing, Mister McRanald. Evil spirits don't destroy oil rigs." ~ Sarah Jane Smith
"You know what he was playing? Flowers of the Forest. A lament for the dead." ~ The Fourth Doctor
Huckle: Look. Lets get this straight. Are you trying to tell me that the rigs were chewed up by a set of giant molars?
The 4th Doctor: Yes. A set of giant molars that can chew through solid steel as easily as paper.
Brigadier: Are you suggesting that we're dealing with some kind of sea monster?
"Centuries ago, by your timescale, our craft was damaged. We landed here to await rescue. Recently we learned our world was destroyed in a stellar explosion. We can never return." ~ Broton
Sarah: Doctor, I can't breathe.
The 4th Doctor: Shut up and save your breath.
"You are too clever, Doctor. Clever and dangerous." ~ Broton
"We have the power to turn ourselves into replicas of your unpleasant form whenever it is necessary." ~ Zygon
"Asleep? Impossible. I was on duty. There are times, Doctor, when you do talk absolute nonsense. Excuse me." ~ Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart
"There's only one course still open to us. I'll try and draw it off while you get a fix on its activating signal. We must find its base, Brigadier." ~ The Fourth Doctor
"Here in Tullock we don't need any clever contraptions to tell us what people are up to. Everybody knows everybody else's business. It's a matter of principle." ~ Angus McRanald
"Cyborg is a hybrid creature, Brigadier. Half animal, half machine. Must be very interesting." ~ The Fourth Doctor
"Loch Ness? Don't tell me you've found the monster." ~ The Duke of Forgill
"I'm not a party to any kind of nonsense." ~ The Fourth Doctor
"You're all utterly unhinged. Must be. Aliens with wireless sets?" ~ The Duke of Forgill

"Why do I always get the dirty jobs?" ~ Sarah Jane Smith
Harry: You told me your spaceship was crippled, Broton. You said you could never return to your planet.
Broton: Instead, we shall become the ruler of yours. Destroying the oil rigs was only the beginning, a trial of strength for the Skarasen. The big event is yet to come.
"You've been hiding too long, Broton. It's become a habit. I thought the plan was to conquer the world. But you can't rule a world in hiding. You've got to come out onto the balcony sometimes and wave a tentacle, if you'll pardon the expression." ~ The Fourth Doctor
The 4th Doctor: And what are you going to do with it when you've got it? Isn't it a bit large for just about six of you?
Broton: Other Zygons are on their way. When our planet was destroyed in a recent catastrophe, a great refugee fleet was assembled.
The 4th Doctor: Hmm. And they're coming here at your invitation.
"Right, let's see what other damage we can do." ~ The Fourth Doctor
"Was that bang big enough for you, Brigadier?" ~ The Fourth Doctor
"Well, a fifty foot monster can't swim up the Thames and attack a large building without some people noticing, but you know what politicians are like." ~ Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart
"Yes, that's the Tardis. And I'm going to pilot it all the way to London. I can be there five minutes ago." ~ The Fourth Doctor

Trivia
====================================
This story had working titles of: Loch Ness, The Secret of the Loch, Secret of Loch Ness, The Loch Ness Monster and The Zygons.
A Zygon was apparently to have appeared, along with a Dalek and a Cyberman, among the alien prisoners on the Time Lords' prison planet in Douglas Adams's unfinished and never broadcast story Shada, but the scenes set in Shada itself were never recorded.
The story saw the departure of Harry Sullivan as a companion and was the first UNIT story since Robot. Although two more UNIT stories would follow, this was the last appearance of the Brigadier until Mawdryn Undead.
