The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith Part 2 Thoughts
Wow!
I haven't got much to say really but what an amazing episode of SJA! My favourite yet!
A very touching episode and it was great to see the Doctor meet the kids. The scenes with all of them were brilliant and I so wish they had gone for a trip in the TARDIS. The only fault is how the Trickster was defeated. It's just getting boring with people going back on their agreement to defeat him. However, the episode was still absolutely brilliant and I loved the ending. Very emotional with SJ and the Doctor.
A must see adventure.
Series Five News
There is a news report on the BBC website which included some interesting facts:
- Six of the thirteen episodes are written by Steven Moffat
- His biggest challenge is the climax to the series which he is currently writing
- The Tardis has undergone a significant makeover and is based on the Peter Cushing movie version.
The Waters of Mars Confirmed Transmission
David Tennant was on GMTV this morning and whilst on, he announced when The Waters of Mars is going to be aired. It will be shown at 7pm on Sunday 15th November.
I personally think that is a terrible date. It should have been on a Saturday and to make it even better, it should have been on Halloween.
Anyway, here is the full interview with Tennant:
Halloween Celebration!
Tomorrow is Halloween!
So to celebrate, we've decorated the banner in a Halloween-y way. Sorry it looks so terrible.
We've also got our Halloween Contest. You've got until midnight tomorrow to enter (I've extended the deadline) but do hurry! Please consider entering!
We then have the results on Halloween night at 6pm and hopefully a few other surprises (I have a few ideas but PM or email me with any Halloween ideas you have please).
So what will you be doing on Halloween night? Let us know!
I myself am not going Trick or Treating this year so I`m just going to have a marathon of some scary Doctor Who episodes.
Also, don`t forget that the owner of Doctor Who Figures Online, Sebastian Hamilton, will be making a big announcement about his brilliant comic, Timeslip, over on the forum on the 31st.
Halloween is going to be brilliant!

SJA Videos
Lots of SJA videos!
First of all, the Next Time trailer for Part 2 of TWOSJS:
Secondly, here's a video of Tommy and Daniel on the CBBC Channel (They've been appearing on and off all day):
And finally, a video of Nigel Havers on The Alan Titchmarch show:
The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith Part 1 Thoughts
Phew - I got back from town just in time to see SJA and what an amazing episode it was.
Some thoughts:
- Rivalry between K9 and Mr Smith was brilliant but I think they went over the top with K9 and he got annoying
- Hearing the TARDIS all the time got very exciting
- I thought that I recognized the alien in the box - it was of course Travis Colon from Mark of the Berserker
- It all felt quite rushed. I think they should of either done a mega 3 episode thing or an hour and a half special
- The ring making SJ think she'd done things and making her decide to do things was very intriguing
- So glad they made excuses for Maria and the Brigadier not being there. Although I was hoping Maria might make a surprise appearance. Also, for those who don't know - the Brigadier was going to be in the episode but he couldn't because Nicholas Courtney suffered a stroke when they were due to film. He has now however made a full recovery
- Ending was brilliant. I thought it would end with the Doctor shouting "Stop this wedding now!" but it kept on going and was extremely exciting
- Can't wait to see K9 and the Doctor reunited
So it was a very good episode but could of done with being longer. Still one of my favorite episodes though and the best is yet to come.
Can't wait for tomorrow!
The Gift Press Release
The press release for SJA Series Three finale, The Gift, has been released and can be read below:
The Gift Press Release
The Sarah Jane Adventures – The Gift: Part One
Thursday 12th November
4.35-5.00pm BBC ONE
Sarah Jane, Luke, Clyde and Rani face an old enemy, the green Slitheen, in the penultimate episode of this series of The Sarah Jane Adventures.
When the Slitheen’s latest scheme is halted, their rivals, the Blathereen, arrive. Declaring peace between the planets, they offer Sarah Jane a gift – one that might change the future of the human race forever.
The Sarah Jane Adventures – The Gift: Part Two
Friday 13th November
4.35-5.00pm BBC ONE
When the Blathereens’ gift runs riot, Sarah Jane faces the battle of her life to save her son, Luke, as The Sarah Jane Adventures concludes.
With Clyde, Rani and K9 trapped in a school under siege, and the whole of London convulsing under the alien threat, everything heads for a final showdown in the attic – and not everyone is getting out alive.
Sarah Jane Smith is played by Elisabeth Sladen, Luke Smith by Tommy Knight, Clyde Langer by Daniel Anthony and Rani Chandra by Anjli Mohindra. John Leeson provides the voice of K9.
Russell and Elizabeth on BBC Breakfast - New Clips!
This morning, Russell T Davies and Elizabeth Sladen appeared on BBC Breakfast.
The interview with them included an extended preview clip of TWOSJS Part 1 (The same clip we saw in Nigel Haver's interview but a few seconds longer) as well as a new and exciting clip of Part 2!
There was even a new clip from The Waters of Mars!
The full interview can be seen below:
Or if you don't have time to watch the whole thing, here is the Waters of Mars preview:
Very exciting!
Sarah Jane Adventures Reminder
Don't forget that tonight, part 1 of The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith is aired on BBC1 at 4:35pm!
The Doctor isn't in it until the very end but tomorrow we'll have 25 minutes of Tennant to enjoy!
A nice little coincidence - tonight we see the Doctor on our TV's once more (Albeit for only a few seconds) and it was one year ago today that the Doctor himself, Mr David Tennant, announced his departure from the TARDIS.
Since then we've had two brilliant hours of Doctor Who and we've still got over 200 minutes of Tennant to enjoy (Including Specials, SJA, Dreamland etc.). The best is yet to come!
--
Don't forget we start our Halloween celebrations today with a new banner.
I'm not sure when it will be up as I have to go to town first and then come home and make the banner (I did it a few days ago but it was somehow deleted) but it will be today!

Halloween Contest Update!
Hi everyone,
Below is a photo I have made for Halloween. This is the sort of thing you can do for the Halloween contest but it doesn't have to be dramatic - it could be funny or anything!
Not very good. I only have Powerpoint and it was done very quickly. What's more is I only have one Sea Devil so I had to do split screen and for the first time.
But there's an idea to get your creative juices flowing!
Please enter! I've only had two entries so far (But they have been great)!
I've also now added two Halloween costume scabs (To put on skin) to the first prize! There are so many brilliant prizes available!
You've only got until midnight on Friday to enter so hurry!

TARDIS Interior, New Monster - Exciting Filming
2009 Specials News
In the latest issue of SFX, Russell and David discuss what's still in store for us in the three remaining specials.
Here's some information from it:
In the Waters of Mars (Which we discover in SFX is set in 2059), The Doctor and Adelaide are like two equals and at times, two rivals. As everyone else has said, it is very scary but we learn that they had to change one aspect of the monster on set to avoid traumatising children. Although it's an under-siege story, initial drafts had them all getting in a shuttle and flying to a hydroponic plant.
As for The End of Time, there are little aliens that appear throughout the story. Could these be slaves to the Master? I think we can assume that these are the little green aliens that Russell referred to earlier in the year. This adventure is Earth-bound but it doesn't all happen on Earth. After saying that, David asks if he's said too much. Obviously, he must be referring to Gallifrey!
Finally, in the last three specials, The Doctor experiences emotions which we haven't seen him experience before, and doing things which Tennant hadn't even conceived that the character could do before.
It's all getting very exciting now!
The Waters of Mars will be broadcast next month and part one of The End of Time will be broadcast in December with part 2 following either later that month or early January.
SFX is out today at the RRP of £3.99
Doctor Who - Project 3
Something I've been meaning to post about for a week now.
Earlier in the year, Russell T Davies said that the Doctor Who team were working on three special projects (Not the specials) to do with The Doctor for this year.
The first was The Doctor in Sarah Jane Adventures.
The second was Dreamland.
But we still knew nothing about the third. Rumours suggested it would be a Children in Need mini episode but Russell denied this and said that they didn't have time to do a CiN scene this year and so they would just show a preview of part 1 of "The End of Time" as they did last year with "The Next Doctor".
Then, Russell announced with great sadness that the third project had fallen through.
But in the latest issue of DWM, he says otherwise:
Just this morning, I saw the edit of Special Project 3 - it's not for Children in Need, it's something else - and it looks amazing, though God knows what it'll do to canon!
Very exciting!
So just what is the third project?
Some people seem to think it will be Doctor Who Christmas Idents but as much as I would love this, I don't think it is that because he says "God knows what it'll do to canon!".
What do you think it is?
DVD Files Issue 21
The 21st issue of the Doctor Who DVD Files is released today and this issue comes with the Series Three finale "Last of the Time Lords" as well as the 2007 Christmas Special "Voyage of the Damned".
Available now from all good newsagents!

Forbidden Planet Leaflet - Very random but I have two and the cover is of the first three Doctors in figure form and looks lovely so I thought I'd throw that in too
Some of the prizes are free gifts, I'm not denying that, but it's still more for the prize!
Please Note: We reserve the right to change any prizes if it is necessary. We hope it does not happen but there is a small chance that we may have to for postage reasons. If this does happen, you will still recieve a prize of some sorts and we will do our best to make sure you are happy.
I have just ordered something today which I should have by Friday and at the weekend I hope to take some photos (using this item) to give everyone some ideas but you can of course enter now! You have 10 days!
I know some forums are doing similar Halloween contests but I decided to do the same type of contest for the following reasons:
- It is a simple type of contest that is easy to enter
- Other people had suggested it to me before other forums launched their competitions
- This way, people who have entered the other competitions can easily enter this one too and therefore, we get much more entries
Any questions? Don`t hesitate to ask!
Just leave a message in the cbox or email us.
Please enter and spread the word! I`ve put alot of work into this contest and really want a fair few entries!
Sorry if the contest doesn`t seem well organized but I have been very busy. Future contests will be better (*Cough* Children In Need *Cough*).

Get your camera`s at the ready!

Lets Hear It For Chandra!
Hi everyone,
I just got back from camping and would just like to publicly thank Chandra for his amazing work on the blog.
He's posted every little bit of news and has done a brilliant job! He's also caught up with news for me after I fell behind earlier in the week due to an upcoming competition (Launching tomorrow if all goes to plan)!
He has done a truly brilliant job!
The latest bit of news about the Sontaran gun is absolutely brilliant! I'm so happy that we are the first blog to report it! That's brilliant and if we do that sort of thing enough, it could bring more people to the blog! Obviously, there's no proof that it's Sontarans but it definitely is a Sontaran gun. Even if it's not Sontarans, who cares? When it comes to things like this speculation is all the fun! Perhaps it's just a Sontaran gun in a museum in the future which the Mona Lisa grabs or perhaps it's what we all want to see - the return of Kaagh! After all when it comes to SJA, we don't know much about upcoming episodes. We saw hardly any filming and there are many shocks in store that we don't know about - for all we know Maria could be in the Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith?!? So very exciting news there.
The campsite I go to is closing for the Winter now so I won't be going again this year so I just want to thank Chandra for the brilliant work he's done every time I've been away. I've been able to enjoy all of my holidays safe in the knowledge that my blog was being well looked after. I'm sure you'll agree that Chandra has done a great job over the past few months so...
Thank You Chandra!
Oh and like I said, I will hopefully be launching our Halloween Contest tomorrow if all goes to plan so stay tuned!
Thanks everyone (Especially Chandra!) Read more...
Sontaran connection in Mona Lisa's Revenge?
