Line 1: {{work\|wppage=K-9 (TV series)}} ''K9'''K-9''''' is, of course, a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' spin-off based on everyone's favourite robot dog, who fell through spacetime to end up in eccentric Professor Gryffen's laboratory/mansion in mid-21st-century London. Sacrificing himself to save the humans from something that followed him through the portal, K9 regenerates into an updated design... but with no memory of how he got to Gryffen's lab. He's quickly introduced to Gryffen, a physicist researching space-time manipulation (with an eye towards resurrecting his dead wife and children); Gryffen's petulant assistant, Darius; rebellious middle-class scion Jorjie (pronounced "Georgie"); and teen dissident Starkey, with whom K9 forms a bond. ~~All~~The 26first ~~episodes~~series (of ~~the~~26 episodes) first ~~series~~aired ~~have~~from ~~long~~31 ~~since~~October ~~aired~~2009 ~~and~~to a20 November 2010.

But yes, I am. }} * [[Bounty Hunter]]: In "The Bounty Hunter", logically enough. Line 28 ⟶ 31: * [[Hikikomori]]: Prof. Gryffen, who hasn't been outside in ten years. * [[Hollywood Hacking]]: Starkey and Jorjie. * [[The Hustler (film)\|The Hustler]]: Darius is a mild example. So far we've seen him buy the wrong parts for Starkey and charge him anyway, find a way out of the city despite being under surveillence, stall two aliens bent on his destruction, and nick - ''pick'' - some food for Griffen. * [[Hybrid Monster]]: In the finale, Thorne presents Trojan, a supersoldier created from DNA of every species in the series. This becomes Trojan's downfall when K9 uses the Jixen battle shriek to cause Trojan's Jixen and Meron DNA to fight each other. * [[Ice Queen]]: June is initially presented as an antagonist--but she loves her daughter, Jorjie, and is trying to protect her. She can still be fairly cold, though. * [[Identical Grandson]]: In #16, Jorjie, Starkey and K9 meet Darius' great-grandfather, William Pike, who looks exactly like him. They also meet Agent Barker who is identical to Thorne, who does not appear in this episode, but Jorjie [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshades]] this to Starkey. {{quote\| '''Jorjie''': "Does he remind you of someone?"}} * [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: After regenerating, K-9 doesn't remember the Doctor, nor the majority of the adventures he had with him. * [[Living a Double Life]]: June Turner, who's always told her daughter Jorjie that she has a boring IT job. She's really head of alien threats at the secretive Department. * [[Mooks]]: The ~~[[CCP Cs]]~~CCPCs. * [[Monster Clown]]: Darius's nightmare in "Dream-Eaters" is about these. * [[My Beloved Smother]]: June is ''always'' checking up on Jorjie, practically [[Once an Episode]].
