Notwithstanding the constant presence of the space/time manipulator, this is the first bona fide time travel episode for K9. Time travel is common storytelling device used in science fiction in general. For parent Doctor Who, it is a regular occurrence and even relatives Torchwood & The Sarah Jane Adventures have dabbled in time travel plotlines. So it is only right for K9 to have its own time travel story.
Jorjie has accidentally travelled back in time to 1963, which just so happens to be the birth year of Doctor Who.
It was in 1963 that she meets William Pike, Darius great grandfather and he is mistakenly accused of being a Soviet spy. William being accused of a Soviet spy threatens the future existence of Darius (who plot conveniently stay behind in the future).
The presence of a police constable and a police station in the 1960s in this episode certainly brings into mind The Feast of Steven. With The Feast of Steven among the 108 missing Doctor Who episodes, The Cambridge Spy sort of fill the void in visual terms of The Feast of Steven’s absence.
In its own way The Cambridge Spy has been a fun time travel story.
The last scene with Agent Parker and Myles was very unexpected.
