Talk:K9 Mark III

Master as creator
I removed this line: "If the series had continued, the Master would have been revealed as K-9's true creator." This is one of those cases where a source needs to be provided as I can't find anything to support this, and certainly it doesn't coincide with The Invisible Enemy.

Baker's End?
What's the evidence that the "robot dog" from PROSE: Mrs Frimbly's Festive Diary is K9 Mark III? Danochy ☎  03:05, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe this is an application of the "Homeworld Principle". Magrs established his "robot dog" to be synonymous with K9 in his Short Trip PROSE: Kept Safe and Sound, and so, gets to keep writing stories about it that should be acknowledged as being about the same individual.


 * If you're asking why K9 Mark III specifically, I'm not sure; possibly a point of minute continuity, possibly something in Kept Safe and Sound which eludes me. You had better ask User:Epsilon the Eternal.

 * Yes, sorry I should've been more specific. My question pertains to how we know this is K9 Mark III and/or the same model of robot dog as was in Kept Safe and Sound. Danochy ☎  03:17, 12 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Long story short, the K9 in Mrs Frimbly's Festive Diary describes several 1970s annual stories which featured K9 Mark III. Though, I'd be willing to have the Magrs' K9 be housed in an "unclear variation" section in the main K9 article. 📯 📂 03:29, 12 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your explanation. If he describes stories from Doctor Who Annual 1981, that seems pretty clear cut to me, although I'm obviously not aware of the context in which they were described. Danochy ☎  04:05, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
