I remember seeing this at the time (I was only 11 years old and a massive Dr Who fan). t inspired me to buld my own cardboard model of K-9. I stuck a radio-controlled car in the base aand was able to get it to move around. I was always interested in electronics. Fond memories!
Because TV used to attempt to entertain us and not make a loss instead of trying to make businessmen/shareholders massively rich regardless of quality/diversity/originality of programs aired :)
oh yeah and because toys like the little Tomy wind-up toy which could be pumped out for poundshops tomorrow don't exist in the shops let alone a full size K-9 with Sony AIBO robo-dog levels of interaction which is totally possible but impossible due to copyright and licensing crazy world of today.
Thanks

Cool story and fun idea :) I used to open up all my toys that stopped working and tinker with the electronics.
One of the robots has a Star Wars Stormtrooper head, and I love R2D2 as he was rising into fame, as Star Wars came out 2 years prior.
love those toys, they are called Tomy Robot Racals, really expensive now on ebay lol
@@madcommodore I remember getting those for Christmas back in day!
@@dwiggins1 I think the wind up toys were really cheap, they used to be a casual present to shut me up in the market lol
Why was TV so much better back then its all rubbish today

He has the same voice filter as the K1 robot
Wow that K1 robot looked awesome, would have loved to see that back then as a kid.
