This really makes my day:
Sidekick K9 returns to Doctor Who!

Robot dog K9 will be reunited with Doctor Who in the new series after 24 years apart, say the show’s producers.

K9 and Sarah Jane Smith will return for one episode. K9 will be voiced by John Leeson again.

I wonder whether they’ll improve the model of the dog after all this time. Certainly the mechanics underneath it should be better.

In other Who News, Billie Piper will leave as assistant “Rose” at the end of the second season. No big deal, she’s only the latest in the long line of assistants, and it bugs me that the show has essentially made her the main character. And here’s the countdown clock to the new show.

Now…would somebody PLEASE carry this program in the states, now that it’s a collosal success?
