The series' story editor towards the end of Patrick Troughton's era, Derrick Sherwin, felt Doctor Who would benefit from being set more on Earth because he felt it would make it more real and believable. He devised UNIT (the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce) as a group the Doctor could become allied to on Earth. The new actor to play the Doctor, Jon Pertwee, much preferred stories set on Earth and was comforted by working with the familiar company of the actors portraying the UNIT regulars, such as Nicholas Courtney, John Levene and Richard Franklin. Pertwee later said he would only have done stories set on Earth if it had been his decision. Pertwee era producer Barry Letts and script editor Terrance Dicks felt it was important to return the Doctor to space travel and set stories on other planets. However, UNIT would continue to appear regularly in the series until the new production team of Philip Hinchcliffe and Robert Holmes took over and wrote them out in Tom Baker's second season.
