Press Release April 24th 2006

Amsterdam, The Netherlands and London, UK – Jetix Europe today announced that it has teamed up with Park Entertainment and Doctor Who veterans - writer Bob Baker and designer Paul Tams - to develop K-9 Adventures, a 26 x half hour comedy-fantasy series featuring Doctor Who's famous robot dog. The series, set in space, will give K-9 a sleek new look using state of the art CGI animation mixed with live-action, reflecting the visual style of the whole series. The series is being developed by Bob Baker and Paul Tams' K-9 Films, Park Entertainment and Jetix Europe.

K-9 Adventures creators Bob Baker was a writer and Paul Tams a designer and illustrator for the classic Doctor Who series. Baker, whose writing credits include the Oscar-winning Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers and Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave, co-created K-9 as the Doctor's robotic canine companion with then co-writer Dave Martin.

The original K-9 is making a guest appearance in the third episode of the new series of Doctor Who with David Tennant, entitled "School Reunion", set to air this Saturday, 29th April on BBC1.

Michael Lekes, Senior Vice President Programming, Jetix Europe, says: "K-9 Adventures is an incredibly exciting project for Jetix. It's set to be an excellent space fantasy-adventure series that we are sure will be immensely popular with Jetix viewers particularly in the UK, following the recent revival and widespread popularity of Doctor Who."

Bob Baker, co-creator of K-9 Adventures for K-9 Films says: "I am absolutely delighted to be giving K-9 a new lease of life and a new look for his own series on Jetix, and it's thrilling to be able to offer younger Doctor Who fans the chance to get to know K-9. I believe they will love the 21st century K-9 as much as past generations did when he appeared in Doctor Who."

Jim Howell, Chief Executive of Park Entertainment comments: "We feel that K-9 holds a very special place in the hearts of all Doctor Who fans and we are thrilled to be working with Bob, Paul and everyone at Jetix on the development and production of the series."
