The pilot episode began with Sarah discovering a boxed K9 Mark III, a gift from the Doctor. The plot which followed involved a strange mixture of [[occult]] spookery and mundanity, with robed pagans chanting "[[Hecate]]!" and the supposed goddess being revealed as a person in a mask. The action occurred in early to mid-[[December]], the last scene on [[25 December (releases)|Christmas Day]]. As a result, ''A Girl's Best Friend'' is the first Christmas-themed ''Doctor Who'' universe special (as opposed to a regular episode, such as "The Feast of Steven" in ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]''), predating by a quarter-century the tradition followed by the revived ''Doctor Who'' series. | The pilot episode began with Sarah discovering a boxed K9 Mark III, a gift from the Doctor.
