| K-9 (from Rose series 2
figure) |
All the figures are by
Character apart from the random passer by who is a
wrestling figure obtained from a newsagents in Truro for
£2. He was cheap, a bit bootleg but fits the scale of
the Dr Who figures. He will be seen again... |
| Cybermen |
| Cyber Controller |
| Dalek (from battle pack) |
The Cyber Controller figure
appears only to bolster the ranks of the Cybermen,
appearing with his back in wide shots or his arms in
tighter shots. |
| Unnamed Wrestling Figure |

| First shown in December 2006 as a
Christmas Special and was the last regular AFT strip
before the site's haitus in early 2007. |
 |
| It was reposted in December 2007. |
| The original cover art (right) is based
on an old book- The Adventures of K-9 and other
mechanical creatures (left). |

Unavailable for comment- Sarah
Jane Smith |
|
| When K-9 and Sarah Jane Smith appeared
in School Reunion, it opened up the Whoniverse
slightly to the characters that were left behind and
raised lots of questions. What happens to these people
as the Doctor's adventures affect the whole world? Since
Character were good enough to supply us in 2006 with a
figure of K-9, the AFT set out to explore that question.
And what an opportunity to see how K-9 would fare
against two of the Doctor's deadliest foes? |
| Obviously at the time, there wasn't a
Sarah Jane figure (released September 07) so K-9 appears
alone. |

 |
| This story was shot back to back with
The Logic Trap in late
2006. The street scenes were reshot to include a better
background (with a hedgerow) more in keeping with the suburban
South Croydon. |
|
|
 |
| The story was originally called "K-9 In
Doomsday" because that's simply what it was- K-9 in the Dr Who
episode. |
| The aerial image of South Croydon comes from
GoogleEarth. |

|
|
| Since her first travels with the Doctor,
it was established that Sarah Jane lived in South
Croydon and we see her house in The Five Doctors.
|
| For the spin off series, The Sarah Jane
Adventures, she's living in Bannerman Road in Ealing.
Furthermore, K-9 is closing a black hole in space and
all but absent from her life so it's debatable whether
this story could actually occur. |
| Assuming it does, it takes
place (obviously) during the Series 2 adventure Army
of Ghosts/ Doomsday. K-9's last comment about the
happy ending is meant to be entirely ironic given the
episodes heartbreaking climax. |
| The K-9 here is mark 4, a
new model created by the Doctor as a gift to Sarah Jane,
replacing mark 3 who sacrificed himself to destroy the
Krillitanes in School Reunion. We suggest here
that K-9 mk4 has some new defensive capabilities
including a computer virus that enables him to take over
the Dalek's systems. |
| Note the 'Bad Wolf' graffiti
on the wall. A hold over from series 1. |
|
Right is the timeline that I've worked
out based on references from the series. It seems to
establish that the Sarah Jane adventures take place in
2008 and after series 3. |
