Forum:Bob Baker quotes about the original K9 model in "Regeneration"

At K9 Mark I we assert that Bob Baker said that th initial K9 we see in K9TV is "identical to the one Leela had on Gallifrey". That's not quite the same as saying it is the one Leela had on Gallifrey. Can anyone source that quote? I'd love to see it in context. Because if he only says it's like the one that Leela had, it would really help us rewrite the page with greater clarity.

As it stands, we're trying to do this difficult balancing act of saying that K9 Mark I was utterly destroyed in BFG: Imperiatrix, but yet he later went on to have the same form in 2050 London just prior to another explosion that ended with him reforming as K9 Mark 2.

Obviously that makes no sense, so if Baker really did say that the initial K9 is only "like" the one Leela had, we can say that K9 Mark I definitively was destroyed, and that there's another K9 called "K9 Mark 1" who preceded K9 Mark 2. Which would make more sense, as the bootscreen image prior to the act of "regeneration" uses the arabic, not Roman, numeral. 16:07: Thu 10 May 2012
