I was confused as well when i first saw a unit era link i think it just refers to the pertwee stories where hes stuck on earth but then it kept popping up with any story involving unit and since they are still around (present day and in the future) which would mean that from the 70s to present is still part of the unit era as they keep appearing. originally i think it was used as i have said to discribe the time that the Third doctor was stuck on earth but since then has been used whenever a unit story appears [[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 05:30, 16 July 2008 (UTC) | I was confused as well when i first saw a unit era link i think it just refers to the pertwee stories where hes stuck on earth but then it kept popping up with any story involving unit and since they are still around (present day and in the future) which would mean that from the 70s to present is still part of the unit era as they keep appearing. originally i think it was used as i have said to discribe the time that the Third doctor was stuck on earth but since then has been used whenever a unit story appears [[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 05:30, 16 July 2008 (UTC) | ||

Where does this term come from? Is it in any official source, or is this just a thing we've invented to get around the UNIT dating controversy? If it's the latter, it should be abolished. There can't logically be a "UNIT era", as that implies UNIT's days are over. Which clearly they're not. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 03:31, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
