Curiosidades
This was the pilot for a never-realised spin-off of Doctor Who (1963). Elisabeth Sladen's character of investigative journalist Sarah-Jane Smith had been the Doctor's travelling companion from 1973 to 1976, whilst K-9 had been introduced in 1977. This version of K-9 was mark III. The first had stayed with Leela on Gallifrey, the second stayed with Romana in E-Space, and the Doctor made this version as a gift to Sarah-Jane Smith.

Pifias
The 'witches' use masks which resemble goat's heads. However, goats hold absolutely no significance whatsoever to Hecate and her worship. The animal Hecate is most associated with are dogs.

No way to treat a loyal dog

So K9 was written out of Doctor Who and with the furore from the fans and the media, the producers gave him a spin off show and teamed him with Sarah Jane Smith.

It seems not much attention was paid as to who this series was aimed at. It looks like there was no type of focus group evaluation, it was just quickly green-lit into production.

The final result, a mish mash of ideas that forgot K9 was popular with kids. Therefore a witches coven story line that harks back to Pertwee era Doctor Who might not be the wisest of moves.

For years K9 & Company stuck out like a sore thumb in the Doctor Who canon. Almost a quarter of century later, Russell T Davies effectively tried a second pilot, pushing Sarah Jane to the forefront, surrounding her with some kids and K9 pushed to the background. Even the Doctor turned up a few times.

In essence this pilot provided a bridge to the Sarah Jane Adventures.
