Using the Autons, living plastic mannequins, as the monster for the first episode of the show’s revival seems like an odd choice on the surface, but they do have a history of being present for some of the show’s important moments. They first appeared in “Spearhead from Space,” the first episode of the seventh season of the Classic Series, which was the first story of the Third Doctor as well as the first episode broadcast in color. They also appeared in “Terror of the Autons,” the story that (officially) introduced the Master the following year. So maybe using them for the first episode of the Modern Series is more clever than it initially appears. -- source link
