Wasn't old enough to have been watching either Auton story at the time, but if I had, no doubt it would have made going to the shops terrifying from there on in.
Am glad that at least one Classic story was made completely on film just to see what could have been.

A fast paced four-parter with lots of memorable moments for example:
The Auton in the woods and at Seeley's house, Scobie's replica at the end of episode three and best of all - the shop window dummies coming to life.
Nit-picking:
The incidental music annoys as does the weak ending with Pertwee wrapping rubber tentacles around his mouth. The Nestenes are all too easily defeated.
Channing is a very creepy character throughout but he/it is absolutely useless at the end: "Nobody can destroy the Nestenes!" He cries and then scarpers.
The choice of including a snippet of "Oh Well" by Fleetwood Mac when we first see the plastics factory is odd as well - why bother?
But all in all one of the best Pertwee stories.
9/10

Terrific story.
Yes I’ve seen it a million times but it’s still good.
Only let down by Pertwee’s gurning at the end of the story.
