Nobody Likes Delays

As we've already reported, last weekend Elisabeth Sladen took part in the "SF Ball" in Bournemouth city; and one of our readers, Clare Sopey, was in attendence - and has just emailed me with some bad news about "The Sarah Jane Adventures":

LIS TURNS STAND-UP. OR NOT...

"Hi Captain, went to the SF Ball in Bournemouth last Saturday. Thought you might like to see enclosed pic of Elisabeth Sladen on stage (above). She was really lovely; but said the "Sarah Jane Adventures" is delayed because of production problems on Torchwood. Regards, Soaps."

The series was supposed to begin filming in April; but where these 'production problems' leave filming now is anybody's guess. Unless BBC Wales get their act together real fast, we might have a longer wait for the SJA than we originally thought.

Damn.

They're delaying the marvellous Sarah Jane for bloody Torchwood!!?

Don't get me wrong I like those crazy kids in Cardiff but Sarah is so much more important.

Phooey.

Actually the delay that Elisabeth Sladen was talking about was the delay from Pilot to episode 1.So April is good to go .Do not panic.
Choi 4 now.

AFAIK it is the actual Doctor Who production team that are making SJA.
They start as soon as they finish making season 3 of Doctor Who.

There is a separate crew responsible for producing Torchwood– well ok there is some doubling up with key people.

I hope the series goes ahead as planned. Even though it was aimed at kids, I enjoyed as much as the Runaway Bride. TSJA has so much potential & delay couldn't be good.I believe the scripts are written, so it wouldn't seem fair not to see the finished product.

SJA worked so much better than Torchwood. Don't get me wrong, I love Torchwood, but they missed their target in some respects. What's been done so far on SJA has been spot on!
