I'm surprised I didn't say this at the time, but I've argued in the past that Went the Day Well, or at least the genre of invasion literature of which it is an exemplar, is tremendously influential on British sf. Both Wyndham and Kneale are influenced by that genre, and thorugh them, the influence is passed on to Pertwee era Doctor Who.
