Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

From what I am aware, it has nothing to do with the BBC, nothing to do with any of the current Doctor Who writers (Who also write For Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Advetnures) that have the series following on from the original series, no reference - at all, ever - it made to the Doctor or the Last Great Time War, either. No reference it made to any Doctor Who story ever made in that series, as far as I'm aware.

Due to this, it honestly won't follow continuity. Doctor Who (old and new), Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Advetnures all follow a somewhat solid continuity in the main, proper Doctor Who universe. They crossover, they reference each other, they flashback each other (Sarah Jane Advetnures has flashbacks to old and new Who), they share characters, they all have a place on the modern-day Earth timeline for Who, ect.. They share writers, and they're all related to the BBC, and share producers/whatever.

That allows them, as a sister shows, to keep continuity between all their stories. They're all part of the main Whoniverse. However, as I said, the K9 TV series makes no reference to any Who story, no reference to the Doctor or the Time War, nothing. The writers have nothing to do with the main Whoniverse writers, either, and probably don't know about what is going on in the main Whoniverse, about the Time War and all that.

We know that, because of this, there will probably never be anything to go into continuity connecting it to the main Whoniverse. The only connection is K9 (who, as I said, makes no reference to anything from Who or the Time War).

The best can be said is that it follows a completely different continuity to THE main continuity of the Whoniverse. Delton Menace 15:19, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

• Wasn't the K9 in that series though the one that Leela had, but had his memory wiped or something? Guess if it wasnt wiped it could have been canoned and depends when it exactly it came from. Leela was left on Gallifrey but no mention was ever made of her again on Gallifrey as far as I'm aware (and on that matter how come Humans were not allowed on Gallifrey but others were?). Leela could have been on Gallifrey say a 100 years before the Time War started and even then it depends which one as there was a time ware in the EDA novels. Besides the K9 series is written by a completely different set of writers and they're not allowed to use a lot of stuff I thik due to copyright (unless they're willing to pay which I doubt they would).

SJA, Torchwood and Doctor Who have continuity problems too mind...... Rhysy54 15:45, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
