Product Information

Dreams and Fantasy - The cast and crew recall the making of this story and even take the original K-9 for walkies!

Doctor Who Series 13 Cast: Game Of Thrones’ Grey Worm Actor To Play Action Hero ‘Vinder’ By Louisa Mellor Secondly: a return to the Leisure Hive (from ‘The Leisure Hive’) based purely on the connective tissue between the words ‘Hive’ and ‘Swarm’. Some of My Best Friends Are X: The Doctor, just before he adds that in large groups Humans Are Bastards.

Thirdly: any remotely insectoid species previously seen in the show could return as a swarm: the Wirrn from ‘The Ark in Space’ (which are similar to the Alien from the film Alien– except giant wasps), the Vespiforms from ‘The Unicorn and the Wasp’, the Zarbi and/or Menoptera from ‘The Web Planet’, the Malmooth from ‘Utopia’, the Metatraxi from the lost stories of Season 27, or possibly just all the bees that disappeared in Series 4. Maybe Goronwy’s bees from ‘Delta and the Bannermen’. Somehow Doctor Who vs the Giant Prawn lives up to it’s expectations, It sounds like it’ll be terrible, and it is! From the generic space ships slowly flying around intro to the fetish-wearing hospital, it’s a pile of ‘meh’ that is more a trudge that a joy. Several unrelated points/observations now follow: Not Themselves: The Titan relief crew initially, then the Doctor. Leela can tell the difference instinctively. If you'd like to talk about narrative problems with this story — like plot holes and things that seem to contradict other stories — please go to this episode's discontinuity discussion.

Doctor Marius and his robot dog, K9, helped the Doctor while Leela protected them from infected staff armed with guns that should never have been in the hospital. Nevertheless, gun battles raged. Affably Evil: The Nucleus holds no particular grudge against the Doctor, and admits that the Doctor would be perfectly within his rights to kill him... if he can. The Invisible Enemy was the second serial of season 15 of Doctor Who. It saw the first appearance of K9.Parrot Expo What: When the Doctor tries to explain things, Leela keeps repeating words she doesn't understand. Including 'parrot?'.

Clothing-Concealed Injury: The station manager, Lowe, is taken over by The Virus. As the infection manifests with a strange growth around the eyes, Lowe conceals his infection by donning a pair of blast goggles and telling people his eyes had been injured during the explosion, making him very sensitive to light. The Doctor says he has lost the ability to tune his brain's Reflex Link with "The Time Lord Intelligentsia - a thousand super-brains in one." K9 draws the infected away while the Doctor sneaks up on the spawning tanks. Lowe confronts him and makes him lose the antibodies, but K9 uses the last of his power to shoot Lowe, who is absorbed by the swarm. Leela kills Safran with her knife while the Doctor alters his plan and rigs the refuelling tanks to blow. After the Doctor nearly leaves without Leela or K9, the trio escape the base just in time to see the massive explosion, amplified by the methane in the atmosphere, from orbit. Visual Effect - Mat Irvine meets up with his old colleague Ian Scoones at Bray Studios to talk about the visual effects for The Invisible EnemyThe Invisible Enemy is the second serial of the 15th season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts on BBC1 from 1 to 22 October 1977. The serial introduced the robot dog K9, voiced by John Leeson. In the serial, an intelligent virus intends to spread across the universe after finding a suitable spawning location on the moon Titan.

The One With… a killer shrimp. Also, we meet a beloved tin dog note (as long as your name isn't Tom Baker). Commentary by Louise Jameson ( Leela), John Leeson ( K-9), Bob Baker (Writer) and Mat Irvine (Visual Effects Designer) The Doctor and Clara faced off against quite an interesting enemy in Flatline, but what made it most interesting and frightening was that the monster was hidden within the walls and was apparently in a different dimension. Is there a factor which makes invisible monsters scarier? Do we know if there actually is a monster in these cases? Let’s take a look at some of the more-or-less hidden monsters in the series, and see if we can answer some of these questions about these evasive beings. Silence in the Library/Forest of the DeadThe introduction of K9 Mark I marks the beginning of an almost seven-year span of stories featuring at least one non-human companion which lasted until the departure of Turlough, a native of Trion, and the destruction of Kamelion, a shape-shifting android, in Planet of Fire in 1984.
