Doctor Who’s K9 to air on Syfy USA
Syfy USA is to broadcast the Doctor Who spin-off series K9 beginning with a marathon of episodes airing on Christmas Day.
The American premier of the show comes three years after the UK debut of the series which follows the adventures of the robotic canine named K9 from the long running science fiction series Doctor Who.
The dog was created by writers Bob Baker and Dave Martin and first seen in the original 1978 series of Doctor Who.
“The show mixes live action with stunning CG and special effects and pits the robot dog K9 and his teenage friends against a number of human and alien adversaries. The new dog is voiced by the legendary John Leeson, who voiced the original K9 from the 1978 Doctor Who series.” Syfy note.
K9 has also been seen in fellow Doctor Who spin off The Sarah Jane Adventures (pictured), from 2007 to 2011, as well as a Christmas Special K9 and Company in 1981.
K9 is broadcast on Channel 5 and Disney in the UK with Network Ten airing the programme in Australia.
