On K9's responding to repeated noises - Twitter user @mandyquesadilla, Tweet posted 9 June 2020.

On the target audience for K9 being (supposedly) 11-15 year olds - "K9: Who's a good dog?", Stewart & Wall Entertainment, archived from the original on 12 August 2014. This is contradicted by the claim that the show is aimed at 8-12 year olds in Blum, Jonathan, "K9", Doctor Who Magazine #409 (24 June 2009), p. 8.

The claim that (a creature resembling) Zephon from The Daleks' Master Plan (1965-6) appears as one of the alien prisoners comes from the article on "Liberation" at TARDIS wiki.

On K9 being more or less the first TV gig for lead writers Shayne Armstrong and SP Krause - IMDb pages for both writers here and here.
