... and mucks it up! The Anthony Head episode with the bat aliens and K9 was a virtual rip-off.

God, where do you start?

A pale imitation of TDH, that's School Reunion.

Ecclescake and Tennant Whos-in a charity shop near you soon.

Actually I thought 'School Reunion' was alot like 'Dark Season'.

Oh yes, of course School Reunion was a rip-off of The Demon Headmaster. They both have schools, and they both have evil headmasters. The match is perfect.

Except for the hypnosis.
And SPLAT.
And Sarah-Jane Smith.
And the metal dog.
And the TARDIS, the time-travelling companions, and the chips.

But otherwise, yep - it's a rip-off!

(Oh, and the Demon Headmaster didn't turn into a bat.)

He was only "Demon Headmaster-like" in that he was both a headmaster, and evil. That's it.

Quite a tenuous link, you must admit?
