I was a pretty big Dr Who fan back in the late 70’s and early, early 80’s. I loved Tom Baker and I adored K-9. I sooo wanted to name a stray puppy we found in a box after Dr Who’s canine robot but I was out voted. Apparently my vote counted less because I had previous dog naming experience so it was not my turn to name a dog. I was out voted again during the naming of the next dog too because Jennifer’s vote counted more than mine. I even attempted to name a cat "K-9" and Christopher had a FIT because nobody should have a name with just one letter and one number. (The boy was weird even then)
I’m pleased to see someone has found K-9 rusting in a cabinet and he’s being brought back to life – even if it is only for one episode and a cartoon series. I’m pleased even if I never get to see his return to Dr Who or his cartoon-self. Memories of Dr Who marathons and just knowing K-9 is alive and well is enough for me.

Isn’t that great that he’s been found? I also heard that the orginial guy is going to do the voice for the episode.
At this point I’m just so glad to be able to see Dr Who again that K-9 is icing on the cake. 🙂
No way! The I have a bunch of Dr Who articles saved to read and I hadn’t seen that little tidbit. Very cool – and very cool to find more Dr Who fans!
I’ve been so excited about the new series! It will be cool to have k-9 back too! They even have the sonic screwdriver in the new series too! I was surprised that the first new doctor has already decided to leave the show though. But I think the other new one sounds like he will be ok too.
