* This episode establishes that the reason this K9 unit's language is laced with so much English slang is that the five thousand [[Earth]] movies on his memdrive have influenced his mode of expression. | |||
* This episode ''definitively'' establishes that K9 has some sort of on-board linguistic database, as he talks to the Medes. This point was never particularly clear in his (or his successors') usage in ''[[Doctor Who]]'', since he would have ostensibly had access to [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] [[translation circuit]]. Moreover, he's never been shown to use other languages in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. | |||
