Synopsis

A stunning new star act is wowing the audiences of the New Regency Theatre. The modern mechanical marvel of canny canine charisma - the automated dog that can answer any question - the incomparable - the unbeatable - K9!

The Doctor and Romana have returned to Victorian London and been reunited with their old friends Professor George Litefoot and Henry Gordon Jago. However this is not merely a social visit. A terrifying crime spree is sweeping the capital, and the burglaries of 'The Knave' defy all logic.

Something impossibly dangerous is taking place amid the fog. Only the time travellers and their friends can stop it... but can they be sure they're all on the same side?

Previous Story: Luna Romana


Anything with the double-act of Jago and Litefoot is great fun and this is no exception. This story takes strong inspiration from Jekyll and Hyde and gives it a fun little sci-fi twist. I found Jago to be a little more toned down in this one but then again I haven't listened to that many stories featuring him so I can't say whether this is out of the ordinary or not.

The chemistry between all the characters is absolutely great. This story effortlessly juggles 5 main characters and they all get equal roles in the story. I really enjoyed the spotlight K9 got in this aswell, it was really funny hearing him on stage working a crowd and paints a funny picture of a robot dog speaking to a crowd of Victorians.
