The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine features an extensive eight page interview with Elisabeth Sladen and the rest of the SJA team, as well as featuring a look back at the life of Sarah Jane Smith and the numerous comebacks she's made across the years - from 1981's "K9 and Company" to 1995's "Downtime" and 2005's "School Reunion"...
"Oh, I was so lucky. Stories like Genesis [of the Daleks] I'm amazed that we managed to do that one as we did. It's a great one, with a fantastic moral dilemma. There's also the odd story which I think people don't talk about enough. For instance, "Death to the Daleks", the first Dalek story I did. I've never really spoken about it, but it's an amazingly well-pieced-together story, and could perhaps do with being re-evaluated."
Asked if Sarah Jane will ever "get it off" with Alan Jackson:
"I think Chrissie would kill her! But no, not a bat in hell's chance. That would be cradle snatching! But I think a lot of other people would like to get off with Alan!"
Is Lis happy that K9 isn't a regular feature of the SJA? "I have to put the flags out there, hold my hands up and say yes [laughs]. It's an inanimate object which is sometimes really difficult to put some energy into..." I guess you've just made Mr. Smith's day...
There's also a small-ish chat with Yasmin Paige, and a 30th birthday celebration for K9! Oh, and Colin Teague talks about filming the forthcoming Pompeii episode of Doctor Who's fourth season.

I don't know about anyone else, but I love Death to the Daleks. I intend on getting every one of Sarah's stories on DVD.
Ahh, I missed them at TMi. Was it any good?
Jack,
How can someone in the US best secure a copy of issue 388?
Peace,
Michael
