A queer woman's perspective on Doctor Who, both the classic and new series, as well as its various spin-offs and ephemera.

Nov 2, 2019

So, on this episode, I continue my journey through my 'Spark Joy' series with a little story that gives me so much happiness: 'K-9 and Company'!

Now this is basically a bit of a Halloween episode (albeit a day-ish late due to some unforeseen technical issues), as well as a bit of an early Christmas episode, so there's all sort of festivities within. Well, if you count me going on quite a bit about the goddess Hekate, witchcraft, retro swingers, my love of a silly robot dog, and squee about past companions returning – then, yes, definitely a big ole party of squeeful geekiness to behold! ('Have you met the French? My god, they know how to party.')

So, put on your party hats, get out your noise-makers, and maybe even don some long black witch-y robes, and enjoy the ride! I'm so glad to have you all aboard again on this Spooky Love Train! #choochoo
