Everyone
loves K9! Well, maybe not everyone. But his recent reappearance in the new series
has rekindled a fondness amongst adults they had perhaps forgotten, and introduced
a whole new generation to the robot dog. Well, if you can't get enough of his
high pitched voice and wobble trundling, then "K9 and Company"
is for you.
For many years, investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith
travelled through space and time with her best friend, a carefree and somewhat
irresponsible Time Lord known as the Doctor. But all good things must come to
an end, and they were forced to part. Sarah returned to Earth and her career,
but before they went their seperate ways, she made the Doctor promise not to forget
her
Six days
before Christmas, Sarah arrives in the sleepy village of Moreton Harwood to visit
her Aunt Lavinia and write her latest book.
But
something is rotten in the county of Gloucestershire. Lavinia has gone missing,
seemingly the victim of a local coven.
Worshippers
of the pagan goddess Hecate gather in a local churchyard, promising death to unbelievers.
True to her nature, Sarah is drawn into the mystery but is confronted by a wall
of silence from the villagers.
However,
Sarah soon finds help from an entirely unexpected source. For the Doctor has sent
her a present; a robot dog that answers to the name of K-9...
In Doctor
Who's only official spinoff until Torchwood, this fun episode brings
back some of the classic elements of the TV series without the Timelord himself
and is well worth a look! (Synopsis
