'''''K9''''' was a spin-off television series featuring the [[robot]]ic [[dog]] [[K9]]. It was produced in [[Australia]] by [[Park Entertainment]] and [[Stewart & Wall Entertainment]] under the auspices of [[Metal Mutt Productions]], a business identity of [[Bob Baker]] which holds primary copyright to the series. ''K9'' premiered worldwide between 2009 and 2010. In the wake of the first series, there were indications that a second series was being planned.<ref name="in development">[http://stewart-wall-entertainment.com/in-development/childrensTelevisionDetail.php?K9-Series-II-1 Stewart & Wall Entertainment - In Development - K9 Series II] <small>accessed 13th October 2010</small></ref>


'''''K-9''''' is a spin-off television series featuring the robotic dog [[K-9]], that has been produced in Australia by Jetix Europe, Park Entertainment and Stewart Wall Entertainment.
In June 2012 series producer [[Paul Tams]] stated that he and [[Bob Baker]] were "working on the updates for series two and also entering a new production partnership." with another twenty-six episodes planned. They also claimed to have adjusted the K9 CGI model based on the positive and negative comments from fans. Test footage had apparently already been filmed, with further announcements regarding production supposedly due later in 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2012/06/dwn1306104508-k9-series-update.html|title=K9 Series update|author=Chuck Foster|date of source=Wednesday, June 13, 2012 |website name=Doctor Who News|accessdate=16 June 2012}}</ref> The new design of K9 was to be unveiled at a convention in 2013. However, this never came to fruition and only vague reassurances about the progress of the second season came from Baker and Tams in 2014.


''School Reunion'' led to near-immediate plans to launch the ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures|Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' spin-off. However the rights to K-9 were obtained by other parties, for the purposes of creating a separate spinoff. According to news reports in mid-2007, the ''K-9'' series will "feature a blend of live-action and CGI: K9 himself would be a CGI creation, but the show would otherwise be recorded in front of cameras." <ref name="Outpost News"> [http://www.gallifreyone.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?id=EEVFkypVVZaMnlviUi&tmpl=newsrss Lyon, Shaun (2006-07-18).

''[[The Essential Book of K9]]'' was then released in 2015, including a trilogy of short stories about the further adventures of [[K9 Mark 2]], set long after the end of this television series and distancing him completely from it. The comic story ''[[Short Circuit (comic story)|Short Circuit]]'' finally revealed the new design of K9. This design carried over into the 2020 anthology ''[[Megabytes (anthology)|Megabytes]]''.


In June 2008 it was announced that production would begin on the series in July 2008, with all or some of the episodes being written by the co-creator of K-9; [[Bob Baker]]. Other announced writers include Shane Krause and Shayne Armstrong. The series will be produced by Simon Barnes, Richard Stewart and Penny Wall. Due to licencing issues, the robot dog has been extensively redesigned.

K9 later became a regular for [[Series 3 (SJA)|series 3]] of SJA.


These licensing issues also prevented [[K-9 Mark IV]] from making more than cameo appearances in ''The Sarah Jane Adventures''. As of [[April]] [[2009]], Sarah's K-9 has only appeared briefly, in ''SJA''. Two cameos were seen in the [[2007]] episodes, ''[[Invasion of the Bane]]'' and ''[[The Lost Boy]]''. These have been followed by a [[2008]] cameo on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' in ''[[Journey's End]]'', and a larger role in the mini-episode, ''[[From Raxacoricofallapatorius With Love]]''. Possibly due to the announcement that the new series is to feature a ''different'' model,Mark IV is set to make a more robust appearance in [[Series 3 (The Sarah Jane Adventures)|Series 3]] of ''The Sarah Jane Adventures'', at roughly the same time the Mark I's series is due to air in the UK. (It is expected Mark IV may appear in as many as half the episodes, though as of May 2009 only two have been confirmed.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2009/05_may/26/sarah_jane.shtml BBC Press Office - The Doctor to appear in CBBC drama The Sarah Jane Adventures]</ref>)
''K9'' was the first ''Doctor Who''-related television series to not be produced or co-produced by the BBC. It marked only the second time, after the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|1996 ''Doctor Who'' TV Movie]], that an official ''Doctor Who''-related production was not based in [[Great Britain]].


The first season of the series consists of 26 episodes of 30 minutes apiece, which gives it a similar runtime to an average series of ''Doctor Who'', and it's the first time a ''Doctor Who''-related season has had so many episodes since the mid-1980s.
The first season of the series consisted of twenty-six episodes of thirty minutes each, which gave it a similar run time to an average series of ''Doctor Who''. It was the first time a ''Doctor Who''-related season had so many episodes since [[Season 19 (Doctor Who 1963)|Season 19]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.


The first episode of the series aired for the first time in the UK on the cable network Disney XD as a special on 31st October 2009. The series began airing as a weekly offering on a Scandinavian network in January 2010. The series commenced broadcast in the UK on 3rd April 2010, the same day it premiered on the Ten network in Australia.[http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2010/03/k9-australian-launch-date.html] This was also the same day that [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|Series 5]] of the parent program debuted in the UK.

The canonicity of the series as it relates to the "[[Whoniverse]]" is unclear, but due to it being produced separately from the other ''Doctor Who'' series (such as ''[[Torchwood]]'' and ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''), it is unlikely that the shows will ever directly reference each other. The backstory does not appear to contradict the canon of the other Whoniverse series, however.

== Connections with ''Doctor Who'' ==
* As noted above, K9 has a long history with the parent series, being one of the most recognisable icons of the show. K9 Marks [[K9 Mark I|I]] and [[K9 Mark II|II]] travelled with the [[Fourth Doctor]] from 1977 to 1980. [[K9 Mark III|The next K9]] appeared in ''[[A Girl's Best Friend (TV story)|A Girl's Best Friend]]'', the pilot episode for an aborted 1980s spin-off, ''[[K9 and Company]]''. He made reunion appearances in ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'' and ''[[School Reunion (TV story)|School Reunion]]''. [[K9 Mark IV]] made cameo appearances in several episodes of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' and ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'' and later had a larger role in [[Series 3 (SJA)|Series 3]] of ''The Sarah Jane Adventures''. Specifically, the K9 in this series is the [[K9 Mark 2|regenerated K9 Mark I]], having a radically different design change as the BBC owns the design to K9.
* In ''[[Regeneration (TV story)|Regeneration]]'', Professor Gryffen triggers a piece of music stored in K9's memory. The three notes that are played are the first three notes of the [[Doctor Who theme|''Doctor Who'' theme]].
* In ''[[Regeneration (TV story)|Regeneration]]'', [[Regeneration unit|the component]] of K9 that triggers his regeneration has symbols resembling [[Old High Gallifreyan]], the language of the [[Time Lord]]s with whom K9 Mark I has been. The writing includes "[[∂³Σx²]]", which was used to identify the Doctor in ''[[The Trial of Doctor Who (short story)|The Trial of Doctor Who]]'' from the [[1972 (releases)|1972]] behind-the-scenes book ''[[The Making of Doctor Who]]''.

* In ''[[Liberation (TV story)|Liberation]]'', one of the prison corridor doors in Dauntless Prison is labelled [[D84]].
* In ''[[Jaws of Orthrus (TV story)|Jaws of Orthrus]]'', Proffessor Gryffen uses the phrase "reverse the polarity", a phrase often associated with the [[Third Doctor]]. In ''[[Black Hunger (TV story)|Black Hunger]]'', K9 also used the phrase.
* In ''[[Curse of Anubis (TV story)|Curse of Anubis]]'', a gallery of races the Anubians have invaded show a [[Sea Devil]], a [[Mandrel]] and an [[Alpha Centauran]]. Bob Baker created the Mandrels for ''[[Nightmare of Eden (TV story)|Nightmare of Eden]]''.

K9 was a spin-off television series featuring the robotic dog K9. It was produced in Australia by Park Entertainment and Stewart & Wall Entertainment under the auspices of Metal Mutt Productions, a business identity of Bob Baker which holds primary copyright to the series. K9 premiered worldwide between 2009 and 2010. In the wake of the first series, there were indications that a second series was being planned.[1]

In June 2012 series producer Paul Tams stated that he and Bob Baker were "working on the updates for series two and also entering a new production partnership." with another twenty-six episodes planned. They also claimed to have adjusted the K9 CGI model based on the positive and negative comments from fans. Test footage had apparently already been filmed, with further announcements regarding production supposedly due later in 2012.[2] The new design of K9 was to be unveiled at a convention in 2013. However, this never came to fruition and only vague reassurances about the progress of the second season came from Baker and Tams in 2014.

The Essential Book of K9 was then released in 2015, including a trilogy of short stories about the further adventures of K9 Mark 2, set long after the end of this television series and distancing him completely from it. The comic story Short Circuit finally revealed the new design of K9. This design carried over into the 2020 anthology Megabytes.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

School Reunion led to near-immediate plans to launch the Sarah Jane Adventures spin-off. The rights to K9 were obtained by other parties for a separate spinoff. According to news reports in mid-2007, the K9 series would "feature a blend of live-action and CGI: K9 himself will be a CGI creation, but the show will otherwise be recorded in front of cameras."[3] In June 2008 it was announced production would begin on the series in July 2008, with all or some of the episodes written by the co-creator of K9, Bob Baker. Other announced writers included Shane Krause and Shayne Armstrong. The series would be produced by Simon Barnes, Richard Stewart and Penny Wall. Due to licensing issues, the robot dog was extensively redesigned. At first, the series was not expected to have any obvious connection to the Doctor Who universe.[4], but a 2009 update to the Park Entertainment website revealed that the series would explicitly star K9 Mark I and he would initially appear to be the same design seen on Doctor Who.[5] These licensing issues also prevented K9 Mark IV from initially making more than cameo appearances in The Sarah Jane Adventures. K9 later became a regular for series 3 of SJA.

K9 was the first Doctor Who-related television series to not be produced or co-produced by the BBC. It marked only the second time, after the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie, that an official Doctor Who-related production was not based in Great Britain.

The first season of the series consisted of twenty-six episodes of thirty minutes each, which gave it a similar run time to an average series of Doctor Who. It was the first time a Doctor Who-related season had so many episodes since Season 19 of Doctor Who.

The first episode of the series premiered in the UK on the cable network Disney XD as a special on 31 October 2009. The series began airing as a weekly offering on a Scandinavian network in January 2010. It commenced broadcast in the UK on 3rd April 2010, the same day it premiered on the Ten Network in Australia.[6] This was also the same day that Series 5 of the parent program debuted in the UK. Nevertheless, the later December 2010 broadcast on Five was claimed to be the "premiere" UK broadcast.[7] Disney XD soon adopted a twice-weekly broadcast schedule for K9, airing episodes on Saturday and Sunday, but soon stopped airing the show.
