[show]Jack's primary gun for the series is a Webley Mk VI .455 revolver. The Webley was the standard issue sidearm for the British military from 1887 to 1963. In actuality, Jack's weapon is a Webley Mk IV .38. This is evident in the muzzle diameter and overall frame size of the gun. The Mk VI variant, introduced in 1915, is probably the most best-known model. The Mk IV variant rose to prominence from 1899-1902 and is still in use as a police service weapon in many countries.

A failed attempt to spin-off a series from the original Doctor Who (UK) (1963) resulted in the television special, K-9 and Company: A Girl's Best Friend (1981) (TV), featuring the characters K9 and Sarah Jane Smith. After failing to produce a series, the pilot was broadcast as a seasonal special.
