Surprised you can sit through that K-9 dribble to be honest with you. Besides the brief appearence of K-9 Mark 1 in the first episode before "regenerating" (robots can't regenerate damnit! 
), the K-9 series has virtually nothing to do with the Whoniverse. Plus, it's a boring show anyway. 
Thanks for reminding me to pick up "The Mutants" when next in HMV though. I knew I had forgot to do something today. :facepalm:
On topic, The Keeper Of Traken was the last serial I watched recently.

If you watched K-9 you'd see one of the lead characters pull out a device from K-9's destroyed remains with some Gallifreyan writing on it which was undoubtedly installed in him when he stayed on the planet of the Time Lords with Leela. If Time Lords can master black holes and create time travel machines that are bigger on the inside than on the outside and can change their physical interiors and exteriors, then creating a device which can alter a 51st century robot should be child's play by comparison.
And remind me again...what exactly does it take for something to be part of the franchise? I think the lead character having previously appeared in the parent show would be the major one. Just because K-9 isn't being made by the BBC doesn't make it any less a part of the Whoniverse. It's merely a licensing issue that prevents the creators of K-9 making more explicit, in-your-face, references to Doctor Who. It's a harmless show that the writers say follows K-9 Mk. I after the Last Great Time War and which can neither confirm or contradict Doctor Who. And with K-9 being set 40-years after the events seen in Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures nothing it does can go against or be mentioned in those shows.
I couldn't watch everything I wanted to because of work the past 3 days but this is what I watched through last night:
