K9 ??

[steppenwolf]

What? Why oh why have K9?

[JamesF]

What? Why oh why have K9?

I really do not understand that either.  Idiotic

Continuity from last year?

[RikM]

Irritating beyond belief!

[Lee M]

Continuity from last year?

Yes, take the awful, cringey, lame bit from last year and repeat this year. I guess someone important thinks it's a good idea.

[Ally8446]

Pointless, totally pointless.

[AndyH]

That was NOT K9.

Just like Basil Brush ain't the same Basil Brush, when I was wee.

I blame some sort of invasion of the bodysnatchers type senario going on.

[brantuk]

Yeah - should've been R2D2 at least - or better still C3PIO lol

Can't believe they did that - they'll be putting the show on CBB's next.... tut!

[Ant]

What on earth are you talking about?

[Pig]

I hear the clangers aren't to pleased about it either

[Digz]

I wasn't imagining that advert after then.....

[Astro Imp]

Ridiculous!!!!

K9 was used in the kids' bit last year and on the kids' dvd I believe - saves money on production I suppose if you can repeat the rubbish in multiple places.

K9 was terrible when it was on Dr Who all those years ago, why oh why re introduce it again, bet that poor American lassie, was thinking 'what a load of sado's those brits are'.  The voice was no where near the original K9 either and that just made it all the more cringe worthy

[tekkydave]

I need the money - master.

K9

[rory]

Must have missed something ?

[ollypenrice]

K9 itself - the name - is quite a cute pun though. Indeed I took to calling my dear friend Katie just KT in honour of the mechanical hound.

They should at least had Mr. Spoon.

[tigger]

Takes dumbing down to a whole new level

[AndyWB]

Yes, the show was quite good, but the K9 bit is just insulting. Not the questions - I had no idea about the ISS golf thing - but the presentation using that utter ridiculous, embarrassing, pathetic representation of a robot.

[Pappy Nick]

Annoyed the hell out of me too !!!

Isn't it great being a grumpy old git ?? 

[steppenwolf]

Isn't it great being a grumpy old git ?? 

Aye, that pretty much describes me!!

[Astro Imp]

Aye, that pretty much describes me!!

Seems to be a few of us

Ant,

It was regarding the half hour talk show after Stargazing Live (Back To Earth), where Mr Cox and other luminaries discuss space stuff in detail. K9 was used for a quiz question and it was unbearably embarrassing for me after I had ran upstairs to tell my other half how great the Stargazing Live was and to "come and watch the Back To Earth program!".

"You got me downstairs to watch a dubious looking robot dog floating around in space talking gibberish?!" came the retort....

Quite agree.  I enjoyed both shows for the most part (though I could live without the tenuously connected cocktails and planet chocolates too) but the K9 question thing is just utter pants.  The concept is bad enough, but the effects are so bad and the voice so poor that it just left me cringing...

Now if they used Zen or Orac from Blake's 7...
