must add to tom baker collection July 13, 2010 Wes Ramsey (ionia michigan) typically hokey, fun, wonderful dr who in the classic Baker style. The introduction to k-9, with lots of overacting and cheesey special effects - its great
For completists only May 24, 2010 Byron (Fort Lauderdale, FL) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This one is deadly. My sister (who likes new Who and is somewhat familiar with Pertwee & T. Baker stuff) bought it for the K-9 angle. I hadn't seen it for many years but I had moderately positive memories. We watched it for about 30 minutes then switched off. It was excruciating. This mess was a huge nosedive from the previous story Doctor Who: Horror of Fang Rock (Story 92). This was the beginning of the Graham Williams years as producer and it shows. The story gets a little better towards the end but it's painful getting there. AVOID.
K-9 & Company isn't much but it is better than 'The Invisible Enemy'. Not enough, however, to warrant the price.

I don't have a lot of time to do this review so I'll make it short.
Doctor Who: The Invisible Enemy
I have the VHS version that only features the original special effects, not the new special effects, so when I comment on the special effects, I'm referring to the original ones. Special effects at times are great, and at other times are lame, but the story, plot, acting, and directing are all great! The Doctor's taken over by an intelligent space virus that wants to conquer all of space and time. This is truely a great story, and is highly recommended! Five stars.
K9 and Company: A Girl's Best Friend
Not much here to offer except for the return of K9 and Sarah. Two stars.
In all, I would highly recommend this DVD just for "The Invisible Enemy". And even with "K9 and Company: A Girl's Best Friend" you at least get to see how Sarah got possession of K9. Highly recommended!
The Invisible Enemy July 29, 2009 Jon Webster (Pittsburgh, PA) 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
This story comes from one of the worst seasons in Doctor Who history. Tom Baker was beginning to take over and just sleepwalk through the stories, and Leela was reduced to a mere sliver of what she was. Adding in a ridiculous plot and poor special effects gives you one of the worst stories in the series run.
Welcome K9 to Doctor Who June 17, 2009 Jorge Dejesus Sanchez (San Juan , Puerto Rico) The first adventure with K9!!! you can see the origins of this lovely character in a adventure similar to Fantastic voyage.
as a bonus, you can see the pilot of the spin off of K9 and Sara Jane Smith...way before her current CBBC show!!!
If you like K9 team up with the Doctor this is a must have item.
