" Doctor Who star Matt Smith has hinted at UNIT&amp;#039;s return to the show. The military organisation first appeared on the BBC sci-fi drama in 1968 and has appeared sporadically on the show ever since, briefly becoming a permanent fixture in the 1970s.  UNIT will return to Doctor Who - led by Kate (Jemma Redgrave) - in this Saturday&amp;#039;s instalment &amp;#039;The Power of Three&amp;#039;, by Chris Chibnall. &amp;quot;I loved Jemma Redgrave!&amp;quot; said Smith. &amp;quot;She was graceful, funny and charming and an absolute delight.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;UNIT&amp;#039;s return is one for the fans. I think they like cyclical things and we have a good story. It was great to do an episode with UNIT and I hope the true fans like it.&amp;quot; Who showrunner Steven Moffat also promised that Chibnall&amp;#039;s script will bring UNIT back with &amp;quot;a clever little twist&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;When I was a kid, and just getting obsessed about the Doctor (still not recovered) it was the Jon Pertwee era, and UNIT was as big a part of the show as the TARDIS itself,&amp;quot; said the writer.  &amp;quot;So when Chris asked if he could bring them back, I couldn&amp;#039;t say yes fast enough. And being Chris, he gave it a clever little twist which I know the fans are going to love. Doctor Who continues this Saturday (September 22) on BBC One and BBC America.
