* Though [[John Leeson]] is credited as the voice of K9, the real K9 does not make an appearance in this episode.

Similarly, [[Mr Smith]] does not appear in part two at all, but [[Alexander Armstrong]] was still credited, likely because the "previously" segment features scenes where Mr Smith was heard speaking. | * Though [[John Leeson]] is credited as the voice of K9, the real K9 does not make an appearance in this episode.
