The Writers Tale: The Final Chapter

In a new book published by BBC Books entitled The Writers Tale The Final Chapter we learn an awful lot about Doctor Who but not only doctor who but Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures also! For Example SFX has published a list of things we never knew about Doctor Who! Two of these points are of great interest to any SJA Fan! For the other 18 please go to the SFX Website.

15. It was also hoped that Martha would team up with Sarah Jane in the climax of season two of The Sarah Jane Adventures. When Freema became unavailable, the Brigadier was used instead.

16. Russell was offered the option to turn The Sarah Jane Adventures into a show airing on Sundays at 5.30pm, which would have required reinventing the series. He decided against it.

Do You Think these points should have happened or do you think that this could happen in the future, Feel free to leave a comment and say what you think!

Doctor Who: The Writers Tale The Final Chapter will be released on 14th January at an RRP of £16.99

A Very SJA Christmas

Its been quite a year for the sarah jane adventures. Its had an amazing third series with an appearance from a certain doctor! The Second series box set exploded onto DVD (Speaking of which Is anybody else hoping to see the box set under the tree at Christmas?), books were published and new series have been placed in Pre- Production. This Christmas will be a good time to reflect on a very busy year for the Sarah Jane Adventures and to hope for many years to come.
