As cheered as I am about K-9 returning as one of Dr Who’s sidekicks for the next series, I have to ask how something built in the year 5000 has managed to go rusty. (Even if he has spent the last 20-odd years stuck here on Earth.)

K-9 Dr Who
K-9 then….

K-9 Dr Who Rusty
K-9 now

Yes, it takes a special kind of pedant to point this kind of thing out, but do we really think that DIY robot dog makers will be using mild steel 3,000 years hence?

In a way it’d be nice to think they might.

I wonder if they debate similar dilemmas over at The Dalek Builders’ Guild.
