October 24th, 2015 - 2:27pmBob Baker is writing this and with Omega it could be great
Exterminator
October 24th, 2015 - 2:27pmA movie!!!! I wasn’t expecting that! K-9 gets his own movie on the big screen before the Doctor.
It can’t be cannon with the Whoniverse until the high tech version of K-9 has been in the show.
