Time to get back behind your desks for a review of School Reunion The return of Sarah-Jane Smith and K-9 (Mark III) has surpassed everyone's expectations.

I do rate it 5 TARDIS out of 5 for storytelling, intrigue and suspense. We also have a theme remix by James Gilmore from Great Britain! We'll talk to you real soon! Enjoy! -Tom
