This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Logopolis


Doctor Who's first ever spinoff. I can see why it never went any further than this, though now I wish it had. I'm not sure who thought to pair up Sarah Jane and K9 but I find it works quite well. It is a bit of an insult in my opinion to call this K9 and Company when he isn't at all the main character. The theme song is, well, very 80s. Unfortunately it's going to be stuck in my head for ages now.

The story itself is not exceptional, but it's a fun idea and I would have loved to see how the rest of it played out. In the end, I think stories matter if you have fun with them and aside from a boring start I had plenty of fun with this.
