The day finally came when I had to admit to some fellow Doctor Who fans that I had never got around to watching K9 & Company. Several children of the 1980s were horrified – it was clear that they were lifelong lovers of this ill-fated spin-off. I was intrigued, but I was also trepidatious. After all, there were surely reasons why it was a failed spin-off.
It turned out I wasn’t the only one who had managed to avoid K9 & Company throughout my years in fandom.
And the idea for a Trap One Christmas Special was born. As newbies, Colin and I joined nostalgic fans, Si and Pete, for our first experience of Doctor Who’s first spin-off.
