After the sad little minisode I really wanted to do something to… I guess not necessarily celebrate it, but acknowledge it, or something. So here are some of the remnants of Sarah Jane’s long life, with the Doctor standing over them.
The middle picture is actually Lis Sladen out of character. It just seemed appropriate.
You’ve read the first one right? Let’s crack on.
Aww bless them.
(more…)Okay so the rewatch of the Doctor Who season 4 finale was a BIG undertaking and loads of the cast and crew joined in! And some wonderful person actually put them all together in a list so the whole watchalong was made easier! Woo!
However, I’m gonna do the same thing I did for some of the other rewatches and put all the most interesting tweets together and in order. (Also I added Georgia Tennant’s tweets because they were friggin’ hilarious.) So first I’ve done The Stolen Earth and tomorrow I’ll do Journey’s End. There’s a wealth of fascinating information in there and well, this blog isn’t called Overly Devoted Archivist for nothing.
(Freema is utterly and totally delightful throughout all of this)
(I absolutely love all the Noel-Freema interactions here. Hey hope springs eternal Mickey and Martha will be back one day…)
(more…)It’s here, and I’m so very sad. But since this is canon… Mickey and Martha canonically have a son now, and Luke is married to Sanjay, and Tegan and Nyssa are a couple (wow!) and just, it was lovely to see all these characters again. It really was.
But oh, I still miss her.
I’m really glad this is what they chose to do and that they got permission from her family.
I didn’t realise this – I assume they must have picked the date for the season 4 finale rewatch for this exact reason – 19 April is the ninth anniversary of Lis’s death.
Russell T Davies, Graeme Harper, David Tennant and Catherine Tate are among those who will be livetweeting the global rewatch of The Stolen Earth / Journey’s End on Sunday April 19th starting at 7 pm BST (2 pm ET, 11 am PT) To join in: RUSSELL’S ORDERS 👇#SubwaveNetwork pic.twitter.com/iTQen5KXJu — Emily Cook (@Emily_Rosina) April 17, […]
RTD, Tennant & Tate livetweeting next #DoctorWhoLockdown — Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy & Horror!
I’m really excited about this one. I hope Billie, Freema and John (not to mention all the others) join in as well though.
How The Beast Below subverts Fyodor Dostoyevsy’s The Brothers Karamazov and Ursula le Guin’s The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.
Dostoyevsky and the Whale: The Dilemma At The Heart of The Beast Below — The Doctor Who Companion
I always loved The Beast Below, but after The Timless Child it takes on a whole new resonance and arguably becomes one of the most important episodes in the modern-day run.
The Ones Who Walk Away From Gallifrey. Who saw that coming?
The Arthur-and-Karen starring Doctor Who short which came out today! Oh my GOD this is the damn story I’ve been waiting for ever since PS came out all those years ago. It raises so many questions. (What can the Ponds do with the only smartphone in the world?!) I am just so, so glad the Who writers remember that Amy and Rory had a second child.
For the special Lost Story, Return of the Cybermen, Sadie Miller will be playing the part of Sarah Jane Smith, the role created by her mother, Elisabeth Sladen. The news was revealed in an interview with Miller in the new Doctor Who Magazine, #550, which arrived with subscribers today and will be on general release […]

Oh, that’s lovely. :)
As well as all the other stuff, The Eleventh Hour rewatch/tweetalong was today! I thought I’d do the same thing I did with Vincent and the Doctor and gather up all the most interesting tweets from the cast and crew.
