K9 Returns

Well, we're now 3 episodes into the 'second new series' of Doctor Who. I have mixed feelings about it and David Tennant so far, but in fairness its early days, and last year had its ups and downs too. Episode One, New Earth was a very poor start for me, but things picked up in the following weeks story - Tooth & Claw, with a fast paced run around. I'm very much looking forward to Stephen Moffat's episode, The Girl in the Fireplace. His Empty Child story last year was the absolute highlight for me and many others (Are you my Mummy?) and the guy really seems to know what makes good Who and this one looks a real humdinger. Of course, Episode 5, Rise of the Cybermen is similarly exciting for obvious reasons.

Episode 3 airs tonight, and features the return of Sarah Jane Smith, companion from the 70's and K9 after nearly 30 years away from the series. Barry is coming round to celebrate this fact, and pizza will be ordered. Of course, I've already met K9 in 2003...

On top of that, the old dog will be appearing in his own, CGI cartoon series aimed at kids, not really something I'll be watching, but nice to see never the less.
