On most people's exposure to K9 being either through Episode 1 ("Regeneration") or, more specifically, a clip of K9 regenerating from his classic Doctor Who form into his new design - uploads of ⁠the former⁠ and ⁠the latter⁠ on YouTube have 142,000 and 137,000 views respectively, around ten times as many as other episodes tend to average out at. Prominent Doctor Who reactors on YouTube, e.g. Sesskasays, tend to have ⁠reacted to "Regeneration"⁠ only, not the rest of the show.

This week we give a shout out to Christopher Elves, who's done a fairly decent job on the score for K9; there is no official soundtrack but a few tracks can be heard ⁠here⁠.

Further discussion of the status of K9 rights as a recurring character on The Sarah Jane Adventures can be read at Sullivan, Shannon Patrick, "Invasion of the Bane: Production⁠" and "The Nightmare Man: Production⁠", A Brief History of Time (Travel), last updated 6 July 2017 and 14 August 2017 - in short, he had a greater role in Series 3 (2009) but it was reduced again for Series 4 (2010), precisely because of getting his own show that same year.
