I completely agree. It flet as though they had to actually put a 'UNIT can be effective' plotline in there. The coolest part of the counter attack had to be the Valiant firing it's energy weapon - coz let's face it - not even Spectrum had that much much firepower.

Plus the Sontarans did seem to be wearing a costume slightly resembling their 'silk pyjamas' from Shakedown... If there was an outfit totally ineffective against bullets it would have to silk pyjamas...
