Merchandise
The Complete Book of K-9, a piece of non-fiction that follows the story of K-9 through all four models, crossing over from Doctor Who, K9 and Company, The Sarah Jane Adventures and of course K-9 itself has been advertised. A tie-in called The K-9 Storybook is also due to be released sometime this year, containing behind-the-scenes extras, short stories, comic strips and other material from the live-action series, and finally there are K-9 Mark 2 figurines ready for sale. All of this merchandise accompanied with the mass syndication of the actual program, is designed to allow for the shooting schedule of a second season, and also to exhaust the expenses through the accumulated profits.
