K-9 and Company

1981 · 1 season

A gentle, dated curiosity: a cosy village mystery with a robot dog, more quaint than thrilling, watched with mild affection.

Genres
Action & adventure, Sci-fi & fantasy, Drama
Overview
A one-episode television pilot for a proposed 1981 spin-off of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features former series regulars Sarah Jane Smith, an investigative journalist played by Elisabeth Sladen, and K9, a robotic dog voiced by John Leeson. Both characters had been companions of the Fourth Doctor but they had not appeared together before. The single episode, A Girl's Best Friend was broadcast by BBC1 as a Christmas special on 28 December 1981 but was not taken up for a continuing series.
