Behind the scenes

The real world Five, now known as Channel 5, broadcast K9 on terrestrial TV in the United Kingdom, starting in Christmas 2010. It was the premiere UK channel for some episodes of the programme, because Disney XD — the original UK home of K9 — didn't complete its run. As of 2019, it was not well known which episodes failed to be broadcast on XD.

Channel 5 was the home of reality series Big Brother from 2011 to 2018, after it moved from Channel 4. From 2005 to 2010, it was the home of morning talk show Trisha Goddard, after it moved from ITV. During the show's run on Channel 5, Trisha Goddard featured in the 2006 Doctor Who episode Army of Ghosts, set in 2007.

On 25 November 2023, Channel 5 aired a Doctor Who-themed installment of its Secrets and Scandals documentary series entitled Doctor Who: 60 Years of Secrets and Scandals, which followed the broadcasts of The Star Beast ^[+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"] on BBC One and its associated episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed on BBC Three.
