Even the Doctor kept calling a military Group Captain who turned up Brigadier, recalling a much loved character from the days when the monsters still frightened me.
Then, if the deja-vu feeling had not got the better of you, the daleks turned up threatening to exterminate everyone in sight.
It is sad that a short which once had a huge and loyal following is reduced to re-hashing old story lines.
