K-9 - ALLGEMEIN

[Spenser]

K-9 is a British/Australian 26-part comedy/adventure series focusing on the adventures of the robot dog K-9 from the television show Doctor Who, achieved by mixing computer animation and live action.[4] The first episode aired on 31 October 2009 on satellite channel Disney XD in the UK and Ireland. As of April 2010[update], the full series is airing on Network Ten in Australia and on Disney XD in the UK and Ireland

K-9's co-creator, Bob Baker, had long sought to produce a television series starring the metal dog. Indeed, in 1997 Doctor Who Magazine announced that Baker and producer Paul Tams were producing a four-part pilot series provisionally called The Adventures of K9. The magazine stated that the pilot would be filmed that year "on a 'seven-figure' budget", and that the BBC had expressed interest in purchasing the broadcast rights.[6] However, funding proved elusive,[7] and despite persistent rumours, the series remained in "development hell" for many years.

 
Promotional poster from early in the series development, back when it was titled K9 AdventuresIn 2006, Jetix Europe announced that they were "teaming up" with Baker, Tams, and London-based distributor Park Entertainment to develop a 26-part series, then titled K9 Adventures and set in space. This announcement, timed to coincide with K-9's return to Doctor Who in the episode "School Reunion", was picked up in the British media and Doctor Who fan press. In 2007, Park Entertainment revealed that the main setting for the series (by then retitled K9) would be the Platte, "an old Prairie-class spacecraft" once used for asteroid colonization. In addition to K-9, the characters would include Slocum, a thirty something "space gypsy", and Djinn, "an overactive computer module in the shape of an attractive young woman". This early premise was abandoned before production began in Australia.
