(1) "Lunchtime." It's scary from the first minute! Fear rapidly turns to bemusement. "What?!" exclaims Harry. "The Doctor's become a teacher?"
(3) "That's gloop!" says Samuel, appalled at the school dinners. "Jamie Oliver would kill them," observes Adam. The sight of Rose looking grumpy brings a smile to Amy's face.
(5) "It's Mickey!" cries Amy. Mickey is Amy's favourite. A fleeting glimpse of the word "Torchwood" gets a cheer from Adam and Samuel.
(6) Terror in the kitchen! One of the kitchen staff disappears in a puff of smoke, and Adam and Samuel guffaw. Amy can't understand why everybody's laughing at such a scary moment.
(10) The monster is a teacher! Amy frowns at the 'man'. She doesn't like him at all.
(11) Harry laughs as Mickey gets lost. Amy's very apprehensive... school in the dark is very spooky.
(12) "Ooooh!" chorus Adam and Samuel as Sarah finds the TARDIS. "Sarah Jane was Dad's favourite, in the olden days," says Adam. "Did you have a crush on her, Dad?" asks Samuel. "Shush, I'm trying to watch," says Dad. "That'll be a yes, then," says Samuel.
(13) The "you look incredible" scene. Adam says churlishly: "She looks a bit older." Dad says firmly: "She looks fantastic."
(15) The sleeping 'teachers' wake up! "Eww! That's what they look like! They're bat-people!" Mum is horrified: she hates bats, so Adam holds her hand comfortingly.
(16) Samuel wants to see Mickey do his "I was right" dance. As Rose is advised to go easy on the chips, Amy realises that she's hungry. Everyone else is delighted when K9 finally comes to life.
(20) Another big laugh when Mickey realises: "I'm the tin dog!" It's not all smiles though - Adam and Samuel are sad when the Doctor explains how his companions wither and die.
(24) Mr Finch confronts the Doctor. "The next time we meet, you will join with me." "Ugh," says Adam, "that means he's gonna eat him!"
(25) Lots of smiles as Sarah Jane and Rose argue and then laugh at the Doctor - Amy joins in with the girly giggling.
(27) A girl in the playground tells young Kenny how wonderful it is that "break time has finished five minutes early". Adam and Samuel stare at her incredulously. Amy gets worried when she realises that the Headmaster is having an early lunch.
(29) It's edge of seat stuff for Harry as he tries with the Doctor to crack the mysterious code. "What are they teaching those children?" Samuel knows: "To eat chips."
(32) Crash! The car goes through the glass door. "We are in a car!" chant Adam and Samuel in K-9's voice. Amy, however, frowns at Mickey - she's sure he shouldn't be driving like that!
(33) It's the scariest bit so far as the teachers transform. "Cooool!" croons Samuel.
(34) K9 to the rescue. Amy and Harry are loving it. Finch makes Adam laugh by demanding: "Ignore the shooty dog thing!"
(36) Mickey can't decide what to do about the wires. "You need the safety scissors and glitter!" Samuel shouts at him. Big laughs from everyone when Mickey just pulls out the plug.
(38) "Bad Dog!" hisses the doomed Mr Finch. Although the kids think it's hilarious that the school's blown up, they're all sad about the "daft metal dog."
(40) "Mickey's joining them!" cheers Samuel. "Sarah's not," says Dad sadly, holding back the tears, as the Doctor and his old friend share a sentimental goodbye. "You do have a crush on her, Dad!" says Samuel. But suddenly there's a familiar shape behind the TARDIS. "K-9 Four!" Everybody smiles.
(43) "Did you enjoy that one?" asks Mum (who is still trembling about the bat-people) as Sarah and her dog walk off happily together. "Affirmative!" reply Adam and Samuel in K-9's voice.
