i love doctor who. i love it when its good. i love it when its bad because it makes me laugh. this is in the makes me laugh catagory. this episode introduces k9 and has a very convuluded plot. if your a tom baker fan you'll enjoy it but if you are the cassual sc fi fan skip this one and move on. but if you like mystery science theatre then buy the episode and add your own commentary.


5 out of 5 stars Enjoyable...    October 21, 2008

Two shows in one. The Invisible Enemy is where the Dr. picks up K-9. It's a fun episode that takes you into the Dr.'s brain.

A Girl's Best Friend is a take off of Dr. Who.... Sara Jane is back home and finally opens the present sent to her from the Dr... K-9! It's a fun, short episode... not sure that anything ever came of that show.

5 out of 5 stars Better Then Bad; It's GOOD!    September 21, 2008

Look, Doctor Who is never going to win any awards for special effects. In addition, the fight sequences occasionally leave me in stitches; I'm afraid everyone in the Doctor Who universe is easily felled with a stiff kick to the shins or a slight nudge to the back of the neck.

Once one gets past these rather inconsequential shortcomings, however, Doctor who is generally a combination of both acting and teleplay brilliance!

The Invisible enemy is no different. Amongst the excellent focal points of this "episode" are: the introduction of K-9 (who preceded even R2-D2 in the cute robot milieu), Leela at the top of her form, Tom Baker - brilliant as always, and a rather interesting plot involving a microorganism with intelligence.

Furthermore, this DVD includes K-9 and Company. As a kid, I always wanted, but was never able to see this quirky chapter in the Doctor Who canon. To be honest, I thought it was quite fun. The theme song, by the way, hilariously embraces the kitzchy-ness of 1970's techno-disco. All in all, Sarah Jane is always fun, K-9's neither over or under-utilized, and the side characters are more than adequate.

My verdict? A fantastic introduction to the Doctor Who collection of DVD's!
