The Doctor: The only person who can just refer to Sarah Jane Smith as 'Sarah' and get away with it. Also still sorely missed Elisabeth Sladen.

Oh Sarah Jane. Still one of the best companions in all of Doctor Who.

I love how this scene starts with his "to be iconic" scarf!

RIP Sarah Jane Smith AKA Elizabeth Sladen🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Michael Kilgarriff did the Robot role great justice. This was the best proof for the 70s that an actor in a costume could work amazing wonders in Doctor Who.

This is the story that got me into Classic Who, so I’ve got so much nostalgia :)

I've always had a soft spot for Robot. It's a bit daft when it goes King Kong at the end but other than that its a great story.

Wow... K1 looks very different to K9... makes you wonder what K2 through to K8 looked like!?

People may disagree, but this was when Dr Who was brilliant in so many ways. RIP Liz Sladen and Ian Marter.

You had me at Sara Jane ... She Is Missed ... 💞

I was wondering when this was going to upload. Also Four with his hat on his face is a great image

Now THAT'S what I call a classic Doctor Who Robot!

Sarah Jane was amazing!

That was such a scary episode, and as much as the doctor is wonderful, it's the companions who make the show. There will never be another Elisabeth Sladen, she set a high bar right away and then made it feel worth reaching for by all her fantastic work as Sarah Jane. Makes you feel like her family was lucky to have her with them on earth and we were lucky to get the insight into her craft that she gave to us through all her work.

A classic bit from a time when they did their best with the tools they had. The Robot loos so janky walking about and its hands look like they could fall of if they tried picking something up. But when I first saw this on PBS back in the 90's it was so epic.

Fun fact: In 1990, I was guest musician at a recording of a pilot show for the BBC Wood Norton, where I was invited to spend the night. However, at 3am whilst the rest of the BBC slept, because I couldn't sleep on account of my now being in the inner-sanctum, I went snooping around all the unlocked sheds where this was filmed looking for a giant silver robot. However, UNIT made me sign a NDA so, for now I can say no more! 🤫🤖🇬🇧

I Won't be surprised if the 13th Doctor meets the K1 Robots someday!

Sarah was at her sweetest when she was most vulnerable.

As this rejuvenated version of Dr. Who said in this very episode, "You might be a Dr. but I am THE Dr." Tom Baker IS Dr. Who. Have to admit as a teenage boy watching many, many years ago, I had a crush on Sarah Jane Smith. Also always got a kick out of how the robots legs kind of "flicked" out in front of him when he walked. I can't remember but did they use Isaac Asimov's laws for robots the basis for it not being able to attack Sarah Jane?

Asimo could use hips like that when he walks, robots these days just aren't as sassy as they used to be

That was probably the best subscription reminder that I have ever seen on KZfaq... or anywhere else,for that matter! Tom B. ROCKS!

Michael Kilgarriff inside the robot. Apparently the sharp parts inside gave him a lot of pain and discomfort! Also played the Cybercontroller in the Sixties and in the Eighties version as well.

My first Classic iirc and still one of my all time favs! Is it cheesy? Yes, very! Is it an underrated gem, ultimate comfort tv and one of the most memorable ones? YES!!💙💙

I've always thought that with Hardware and Software updates, there a big changes to the design and the programming of a product. This video proves my point. See the robot is K1, then look what is like when it reaches K9. I'm just thinking out loud. Be well people.

Here is where I got on board with Doctor Who; the "Robot" series. PBS in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, first broadcast the episodes beginning sometime in January 1975. I somehow managed to put Doctor Who aside for almost forty-seven years not seeing "Robot" again until late-2021. Seeing these episodes after so many years was very nostalgia-inducing.

That Robot was actually a very fine prop/costume for the BBC at the time!

Tom Baker and his 6 foot scarf. He was the best doctor (in my opinion).

Omg Tom Baker at the end😂sounded like doctor who knows about the joke of Peter Capaldi telling us to subscribe 😂

"Robot" was the beginning series I started with when out PBS station finally started showing Doctor Who in around 1980. Was impressed with the quality of the show, but I was already watching plenty of British programming so I was used to the production.

I grew up in the seventies and watched Tom Baker on Saturdays. He is my favorite Doctor. Although I met David Tennant once at a Comic-con and he was so personable. I have almost all the sonic screwdrivers.

an episode i grew up with love Sarah Jane

My favourite doctor and sarah jane... ❤🌹

really shows how far the show has come over the decades

I was barely in junior high and would sneak down the steps to the living room at midnight to watch “Dr. Who”. I was so sure I would get caught, I had the volume as low as it could go and sat on my calves and feet, hunched over with my face as close to the television’s floor console screen as possible. This BBC original was broadcast on our local PBS station, just after a comedy show, “Goody Goody Yum Yum”. At least that was a jingle often sung in between skits. I wish I knew the actual name! Watching The Doctor was my secret ritual that I kept until it stopped running. When I was 31, I had a son. I told him about “Dr. Who” and the incredible uniqueness and talent of the show. He did not believe one of my favorite Doctors wore celery on his lapel! One day, when my son was slightly older than I was when I discovered my lifetime cult show, I learned a reboot was coming. When my son got off the bus, there is little doubt his mother earned a much-unwanted award for “Most Publicly Embarrassing “. I skipped down the driveway, dirty half apron loosely affixed, hands gooey with pasta dough, and squealed, “Guess what show is coming back?” I reached both glob by hands out and pulled my horrified son’s face towards mine as I answered, “Dr. Who!” I was clapping and joyously performing bicycle leaps as he kept his eyes trained forward and marched towards the house. “Aren’t you excited?” I asked. He said he was but he already read about it on a site I had never heard of two days ago. He also said I looked like a freaky Lords a Leaping and asked me to hurry in the house before the next bus with any remaining kids from his school who haven’t already seen the video of his mother teeing up for the insane asylum is not forced to see the real thing. That being said, our most favorite time, though he is now 24, is when he comes over to visit and no one else is here. We order take out, gather snacks, and binge taped episodes that he has pre-screened for me. Since my deployment, there are certain scenes I am unable to view or may need a memory refresher. Four decades later, who knew I would be enjoying this incredible show and cast with my son. He knows all of the writers, directors, and everything behind the scenes as well as other episodes they have been involved in and non-DW projects. It is so much fun to hear extra information. Does anyone else have a long history of watching the show? I am sure it would be interesting for many of us to read how far back we go.

Interesting, I think whoever wrote the script read Isaac Asimov's I Robot.

So, basically Alexa in a few years.

Tom Baker was a great Doctor Who. I am Doctor How and no you cannot have a jelly baby what you think this is Doctor Who. Bahaha.

That robot suit must have been incredibly heavy.

Shockingly good

He has a bit of an Ade Edmondson look.

Asimovs Law or Robotics: A robot cannot harm a human thru action or thru inaction allow a human to be harmed. This confliction forces a robot to evolve past its programing!

They predicted Siri, "hey google" and Cortana in 1975. Great!

This episode looks cool I wanna watch Classic who now

I remember this story, I felt sorry for the robot, because it was being used by evil people.

“ I think your enemies are home grown, Brigadier. People with access to technological information and a most unusual weapon. A weapon that walks and thinks. In a word, anthropomorphic. Well, I suppose that narrows the field a bit. Do we know anything else about these people? Only that they're prepared to kill to protect themselves. Where's Sarah? “ “ Somebody just passed me this it says don’t forget to subscribe to the official Doctor Who youtube channel well how could I possibly forget that for goodness sake you’ve got the message haven’t you don’t forget Doctor Who youtube channel now “

The best sci fi series ever created!! Bar none ! The G.O.A.T., if you will. In it's original run, it went for 28 years straight. Up until 1989. All original shows. No reruns!!! I am looking forward to seeing how all of this ends!! 58 years strong!! I hope it goes at least for 3 more seasons, minimum!!!!! Love the Daleks!!!! Exterminate!!!!!!!!

Love Tom

It can't be misused if it's already being used is such a way from the start. Why not let it continue its list of functions? We might be shocked.

Where can I watch Doctor Who classic?? - Thanks everyone who replied :)

Strange that 🤔 not much money for the show but the stories were amazing

yeah live robot very good idea

Elon watched this episode and decided they will try and make a robot as well, obviously not as advanced as this one though.

I've sadly only 2 of Sarah Jane's adventures with The Doctor prior the 2000s, her introduction episodes with the 3rd Doctor, Genesis of the Daleks (and only because they were included in The Daleks Monster Collection) and Seed of Doom.

K1 is it related to K9?

Oh I'm subscribed ScarfMan. I always have been.

Why do you deal the enemy from outer space when there is always the most disgusting enemy inside your planet?

Doctor who own version of King Kong

The one thing I will never miss from the 70ies are the brown pantyhoses... ;-)

When did they stop speaking in this manner on BBC shows? Everyone sounds like they are in a play.

based from the story of king kong

sara sister meet k1 robot

Well now i know how he git k9 ( i think )

Obviously an American robot saying “Darta” not “Data”

To be honest, the sudden change when Sarah mentions it's potential to misused as a weapon is utterly stupid and shows just how stupidly arrogant Human Doctor Who villains, especially in Classic Who, can be. Had Sarah said that to me, I'd have just laughed and said "Honestly, Miss. Smith, I think you watch too many SciFi and Spy films.."

K1...B0

Ah yes, the 5th Doctor.

For now the likes are 777 lucky they were not 666 😁

Tom Baker was my favorite Doctor as I was growing up. The first Doctor I watch regularly was Jon Pertwee. Of the original Doctors my favorite was Tom Baker. My least favorites were Colin Baker and Peter Davison. Colin Baker IMHO was the worst Doctor of All time. Of All the Doctors to present day, the character of the doctor that has been the best under Pertwee, Tom Baker, Tennant, Smith, Eccleston and Capaldi. My least favorite Doctors of all are Colin Baker, Davison and Whittaker. The writing for the character has gotten so political in the most recent incarnation of the Doctor that after watching one season of the current Doctor I stopped watching. Yes, I know, the Doctor has always had a situational backing in the time period of the writing of the stories, but the writers and the director of Jody Whittaker's Doctor is pushing his own opinions and political stance in the character and stories of this Doctor. So in 2022 or '23 when the new director and Doctor take control I will watch Doctor Who again to see if the Doctor becomes a story of a Space and Time traveler again or remains a Far Left/Liberal wooden box to push their political views. I'm hoping and praying that the future of Doctor Who will return to good stories with comical and serious moments again and leave political views OUT of the store lines.

It has a prime directive to do no harm, and yet it still attempted to kill Sarah when ordered and even struggled against its own programming. Not a very effective demonstration at all.
