Welcome to this week's Doctor Who's Day, a magpie's nest of shiny Whovian news, fan creativity and other stuff and nonsense from the past week on the internet and in social media.

And we begin this week with a resurrection, of sorts. Scottish computing science student Gary Taylor has brought new life to the Doctor's robotic dog, K9, having been presented with a model Abertay University bought from the BBC some years ago, the inner workings of which had subsequently been ruined by a leaky pipe.

He told The Courier: “He had a lot of water damage from a roof leak so all the electrics in him had just fried. He was literally just a shell. He was just sitting, doing nothing. I don’t think anyone had even tried really to get him back up and running. Not effectively.”

So he rebuilt him from within, taking the shell of a remote-controlled TV prop and creating an “autonomous obstacle-avoiding mapping robot."

After adding that he'd like to try and incorporate the true voice of K9, as supplied by John Leeson, Gary said: “I love robotics and I love programming and I love dogs and I love Doctor Who. It’s a good mix of everything — it kept me really invested in the whole thing throughout the whole project."

Here's how his university reported the news:
