Where it came from
Sergeant John Benton, portrayed by John Levene, became a staple of the Doctor Who universe during the Third Doctor’s tenure in the early 1970s. As a member of UNIT, the character represented the grounded, professional military presence often contrasted against the Doctor’s eccentric scientific brilliance. This trading card captures the aesthetic of the UNIT era, featuring the iconic olive-drab fatigues and the functional, utilitarian design language of the production team at the time.
The card is part of a broader set designed to celebrate the expansive history of Doctor Who, focusing on the supporting characters who provided narrative stability across multiple incarnations of the Doctor. It was produced for fans who value the deep lore of the series, with the card design incorporating imagery that evokes the gritty, earthbound science fiction style established by producer Barry Letts and script editor Terrance Dicks during the show’s transition into color broadcasting.
