K9 & Company was indeed a pilot for a children's show, but due to low
 ratings,it never got more shows made.  It's still a novelty in that it's the
 only show to follow the "further adventures" of a companion, so it's sort
 of a Dr. Who staple (like the two movies).  No, the Dr. didn't show up in that
 show (so he didn't show up in the "series").
JNT says K9 will *never*, ever return to the set of Doctor Who.  He said:
 "Since we were the first show to introduce a cutesy robot dog, I figured
  we should be the first to get rid of one.  And, no, I will never bring back
  the mangy mechanical mutt.  Never."
He says, though, the the Sonic Screwdriver may make a comeback next season
 (next in England, that is).
