The Invisible Enemy: The TARDIS is infiltrated by the Swarm - a space-borne intelligence that wishes to spread itself across the universe - and the Doctor is infected by its nucleus. The ship then materialises on Titan, one of the moons of Saturn, where the human occupants of a refuelling station have also been taken over. This Doctor Who adventure was the first to feature K9.
K9 And Company: Sarah Jane Smith pays a Christmas visit to her Aunt Lavinia's house in the village of Moreton Harwood. She discovers that Lavinia, a noted scientist, has yet to return from a lecture tour of the USA. She does however meet Brendan - Lavinia's ward - and Commander Bill Pollock - her partner in a small market garden business. Also in the house, in a box sent to her by the Doctor, she finds K9. Brendan is kidnapped by a local coven of witches who want to sacrifice him to the goddess Hecate. Sarah, with K9's assistance, sets out to try and foil their plan.

I agree with below in the fact that K9 & Company may be a cool extra ONLY as I don't think 2 Entertain would release it as a single DVD. Besides two many copies are being sold as singles second hand which brings me to believe I am not the only one buying this purely for 'The Invisible Enemy' . As a Doctor Who fan and the Tom Baker era being in my opinion the 'Definative' it is a must buy, not the strongest Tom Baker story granted but nevertheless a must have. But do we have to have K9 and company on our shelves????? I think my copy will just be thrown into the back of the loft. I do love K9 and he was a huge part of the Tom Baker era but the story line just had me getting up and down to make coffee and toast for everyone. I hope they do release 'The Invisible Enemy' without it as it would be much more worth it.
Another good release

I agree, I don't mind what order they release the stories, they'll all get released in the end... although even at 1 every month with around 65 stories in all still to release (not including any "lost" ones from the archives) that's about 5 and a half years to go until they're all on DVD...
Underrated story plus....nevermind!

I hadn't seen The Invisible Enemy before - the Graham Williams era isn't my favourite but am appreciating them alot more with every DVD release. Great innovative and different type of who story and villain (ok, it nicks from Fantastic Voyage) which is only let down by a few production values and the shrimp! Nice set of extras and alternate CGI effects and probably best to consider K9 and Company as a fun extra.
