I was reading over at Wikipedia's K-9 page, and someone mentioned that in the recent Sarah Jane Adventures episode, Lost Boy, K-9 appeared out of a crate marked "Mark IV" on the side.

Has anyone seen the episode to confirm this? --Colleyd 19:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)Woof


 * Well, Sarah Jane opened some sort of portal to (or a screen showing) where K-9 was working on plugging a black hole, however I can't recall seeing "Mark IV" on it (This is assuming that it was in the second episode when K-9 appears, and then for the only time). 15:45, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes and no I believe is the answer. Sarah Jane did indeed did mention in the Lost Boy that K-9 was delivered in a crate (way back in the K-9 & Company special). It was delivered with a message from the Doctor to her Aunt Lavinas' country house in her absence, awaiting her return. However the crate wouldn't have been Mark IV at the time as the model Sarah now has (Mark IV), was rebuilt especially for her during School Reunion. However, I recall a crate was marked at some stage. Without checking I think it was when the Doctor wheeled out another version, possibly the Mark II after Mark I had left with Leela at the end of The Invasion of Time. I recall feeling sad, then happy again as the Doctor gives a toothy grin at the end of the story in the console room!!The Librarian 09:54, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
