Parallel 9 was a British children's television series. It aired on BBC1 every Saturday morning. The show ran from April 25, 1992, to September 17, 1994.

This show was special for a few reasons. It was the first BBC Saturday morning children's series not made by the BBC itself. Instead, an independent company called Roach & Partners produced it. Also, the show changed its cast and stories many times. But it always kept the same name, Parallel 9.
