The Australian-produced K9, the third Doctor Who spin-off in as many years, has finally been given an airdate. The first episode, “Regeneration”, will be airing on Disney XD in the UK on April 3rd at 4pm, mere hours before the Eleventh Doctor makes his debut. Very clever, Disney. I see what you did there. The second episode airs at the same time the following day.

Meanwhile, over in Australia, K9 also debuts on the 3rd at the slightly sillier timeslot of 9am. A prime slot for the “kids who get up at 7:30am and decide to turn the TV on at maximum volume whilst eating every last fucking Penguin in the cupboard even though it had been made absolutely clear that they were supposed to go in their lunchboxes for school the following week” demographic, but not so great for “longtime fans of Doctor Who who wanted to see what a trainwreck K9 would be but would rather be in bed at 9am, even while their kids are shouting and screaming and eating all the Penguins”.

I’m not making these demographic names up. That’s how Australian TV networks demo everyone.

Oooh, it’s all go.  As we approach the final week before the broadcast, shit’s really gonna start to get real, starting with the obligatory appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross by The New Guy, tonight.  If you think you can sit through Ross constantly mentioning his penis then this will be well worth a look, especially since Matt Smith seems to be an excellent interviewee, and we’ll be getting a clip from Whithouse’s Vampires of Venice!

In other news, the BBC’s Doctor Who site has had a very sexy redesign, to bring it more into line with the BBC’s standard (and excellent) layout.  It’s now much easier to browse around and you will no longer find yourself getting so frustrated you want to smash the designer to pieces with a clay replica of Tim Berners-Lee’s cock.  I really must do an article about all the various iterations of that site over the years.

In other other news, that 1 minute clip of The Eleventh Hour is going to show up on TEH RED BUTTONS from 18:25.  Seb will be abstaining but I’ll probably give it a good watch and post up about it over the weekend, along with every other two-bit Doctor Who blogger in the entire Universe.  Have a nice weekend, everyone, and try not to have bad dreams about cocks, clay-replica or otherwise.
