#threshold14 // Robots We Love... : K-9
Who is he?
A series of super-intelligent, dog-like robots
who serve as companions in the Doctor Who universe
What does he do?
Accompanies The Doctor and his companions
around the Whoniverse. Programmed to be logical and loyal, K9 takes
orders quite literally, once even wiping his memory banks of any knowledge of
tennis after Romana told him to “forget it”. Frequently borders on the
pedantic. Sacrificed his 3rd self to save the Doctor, Rose and Sarah Jane Smith
from the nasty Krillitane. Good dog!
Where would he be found at Threshold?
Possibly being used as a percussive instrument
by Bolshy during a banging ska/punk/reggae fusion set at the festival.
Favourite thing at the festival?
Wesley Storey’s photographic exhibition on how
visions of a futuristic world have been expressed through modernist and
brutalist architecture. All in an attempt to understand our human brand of
limited and unpredictable intelligence, you see.
What K-9 says:
Bolshy: Mind if I play a banging rhythm out on
you, K-9?
K9: Affirmitive, master.
