introducing k9

and there's a different companion, leela. the abc must have been quite current in the screenings of doctor who in the late 70s as i remember pretending to be leela in the playground in 1978. i recall even then wishing i could've been dr who, i would've been great. anyway, this episode was first televised in october 1977 in the uk. and leela was only in the show for the 77-78 seasons. see all these fun facts you're learning about doctor who??

in this episode clones of leela and the doctor have been shrunk and injected into the real doctor's brain where the invisible enemy is lurking. the invisible enemy, when it becomes visible, looks like a giant prawn. hilarious. k9 joined the tardis crew in this episode as well. watching him being resurrected in the 2006 school reunion episode was super fun.

i'll leave you with the words, "i only hope he's tardis-trained"...
