  My sister recently became a Dr. Who fan and wants to know where she
might get a hold of posters of the characters, etc.

  Please send me any pointers to such items.  Also, Dr. Who fans, can
you send your favorite plot, trivia, history etc?

				   thanks,

My "Dr. Who: A Celebration..." book reveals that "K9 & Co." was a pilot
for a proposed spinoff series which was never picked up.  Every wonder
why K9 showed up with Sarah in "The Five Doctors"?.  That's why.

K9 & Company was indeed a pilot for a children's show, but due to low
 ratings,it never got more shows made.  It's still a novelty in that it's the
 only show to follow the "further adventures" of a companion, so it's sort
 of a Dr. Who staple (like the two movies).  No, the Dr. didn't show up in that
 show (so he didn't show up in the "series").
JNT says K9 will *never*, ever return to the set of Doctor Who.  He said:
 "Since we were the first show to introduce a cutesy robot dog, I figured
  we should be the first to get rid of one.  And, no, I will never bring back
  the mangy mechanical mutt.  Never."
He says, though, the the Sonic Screwdriver may make a comeback next season
 (next in England, that is).
