Reported today via Twitter, former Doctor Who writer Bob Baker has died.

While probably a not a recognisable name except maybe to the most die-hard of Doctor Who fans, Bob co-created the Doctor's widely adored robot dog K9.

He also wrote for Wallace and Gromit, for which he won a BAFTA.

Possibly a dog lover.

Certainly those shows and characters have brought much delight into the world.
