I know a lot of people didn't really like when the Doctor got his robotic dog companion, K-9. I never really minded him. Who doesn't like dogs? And a robotic dog? Why not. He had his purposes. He wasn't around too much either.
I reported a couple weeks ago about the K-9 spin-off being filmed in Australia and not by the BBC (maybe that says something?). It's good that they're trying to make a show for the younger viewers to get interested in the Doctor Who craze. But this...this might be too much.
See for yourself.
Sigh...
