Oh, the wrath! Poor old K9 getting so disrespected in this outing and the dear soul so persistent in trying to get the information out to those unreceptive of his entreaties! What a bunch of idiots. All they had to do was listen! Bullies, however, get what's coming to them. Back in the day - was it really over forty years ago? - we had just acquired a colour television and I was entralled by the scenic mixtures of the colour live action and the photographs. It all appealed to my Surrealist nature and the leonine make up of the Tharils was superb. I thought that the female Tharil was very well done, though only briefly on screen. Going forwards to the Peter Capaldi episode with Me - The Woman Who Lived - I was disappointed that Leandro, a leonine alien stranded on Earth who is Me's ally isn't named as a Tharil. It would have made sense given the history of Tharils as slavers that they would use the portal opening devices to procure more slaves for their empire. Maybe their history will take yet another turn with Romana. Who knows? As usual another welcome reaction, Jess and I hope everything is going well. "You were the noblest Romana of them all!" says Tom . . and then they got married! When you get the chance Jess, have a glance at one or two clips of Tom and Lalla. Little fun items.

"The back-blast backlash will bounce back and destroy everything!" is one of my favourite lines in anything and Lalla Ward delivers it brilliantly 😂

Fav Romana moments: Romana: "Would that be a sort of leonine mesomorph, with a lot of hair?" - cursorily glancing at Kenneth Cope's balding head. Packard: "Yeah, that's him. Our navigator." Rorvik: "Have you seen him?" Romana: "Vision is subjective. Particularly if the object is loosely connected to the time lines." Rorvik: "What do you know about the time lines?" Romana: "My ship travels through them. So does yours." Packard: "How do you know that?" Romana:" It must do. That's how we've all got stuck here. We are in the theoretical medium between the striations of the continuum." Packard: Stuck? Who says we're stuck? Rorvik: "If you're time-travelling, where's your Tharil?" Romana: "Tharils? I don't use Tharils." Packard: "You must use Tharils. How can you navigate if you can't see where you're going?" Romana: "I use a digitally modelled time cone isometry parallel bussed into the image translator. Local motion is mapped in each refresh cycle . . " Rorvik: "Yes, well, never mind all that. Biroc. Where did he go?" Romana: - mysteriously: "That's an interesting philosophical question!"

Thanks for another wonderful reaction, as always! It's an interesting story on a number of levels. Firstly the Tharils. We learn that they were once the aggressors before they lost their power & then were made slaves themselves. I find that good in terms of how they learnt the error of their ways. Secondly of course there was Romana, who I think was outstanding in this story. I really adored her character (both of her) as a child and by then I'd been watching her, K9 and the fourth Doctor for so long, that I really felt that loss when she exited. Thirdly of course special mention to K-9 who I was obsessed with as a kid. I used to have a scale model which spoke when his chain got pulled. Wish I knew what became of it - I always wanted a full scale version! I guess what with technology as it is now, a real K-9 is tantalizingly possible! Seeing your reaction to this story kind of brings that loss back to me a little. It's nice to think that each of the fourth Doctors female companions have a version of K-9 to look out for them. So with this story, it marks the end of what is collectively known as the E-Space trilogy. Still, onwards and upwards! See you next time!

I bought two of the Palitoy K9s back then, with the record inside that played K9's favourite phrases like "Weaponary set at stun level! Firing now! - fffFFFffffreeet!" One ended up slightly more 'dog-eared' than the other, rather appropriately! One is on a studio shelf and the other packed in a box in the store cupboard along with a Black Dalek.

It sounds like the same one I had. I also had a Dalek which worked similarly, you pressed a button on it's head & it would scream stuff like Exterminate! Wish I'd kept them!

The Black Dalek is actually a bubble bath container that I bought from a local chemists. K9's press button action is the control panel on his back. This K9 is still obtainable from some sources. I'd bet that Jess would love it!

Lol I remember Dalek Bubble Bath! The K-9 I owned had a cord at the front that you had to pull to make him talk. I think they are still about, though I imagine one in good or mint condition would cost a bit. Definately agree that I think Jess would love it!

But maybe Rocco would get jealous. Jess would have to keep him on a high shelf with nose blaster at the ready!
