To the Rescue!

According to reports, Elisabeth Sladen (aka Sarah Jane Smith) will soon be returning to the world of Doctor Who, to help the Time Lord out after he's "seriously injured" by a massive explosion. She'll appear alongside four of the Doctor's other companions - Rose Tyler, Captain Jack Harkness, Martha Jones and Donna Noble.

Sladen let slip: "I’ve just heard I’m coming back. I’m so excited"

The finale of Doctor Who's fourth series is said to feature Davros, evil creator of the Daleks, who Sarah did battle against in classic series adventure, "Genesis of the Daleks" - starring opposite Tom Baker.

More news on this exciting story when we get it!

I wonder how they're gonna work Luke into it? I mean, Sarah has responsibilities now - being a mother. I'm sure he'll get a mention at the very least. Or even better, have the whole SJA gang on the show! Though that's unlikely... Really looking forward to Season 4!

I really hope this is true, and have been waiting for some kind of confirmation on the return of Sarah Jane to Doctor Who. Not only is it a smashing idea just for for Doctor Who, but it would brilliantly bookend SJA1 with new Whow adventures. Plus there's something about the spin-off characters coming home to save the Doctor that's very compelling.

WOW I so hope this is true! I'd would be great to have the rest of gang along, or if hey can't do that, just Luke at least!

This almost makes it sound like Tennant is leaving. I thought he wasn't leaving until Christmas 2008.

I'm the same anonymous who just posted. I made a mistake--that was supposed to say "Christmas 2009," which is when I thought Tennant was going to be leaving.

It sounds like he's dying, but I'm sure he'll be able to recover without regenerating. And if Luke does go along with Sarah Jane, then Tommy Knight's home page should be updated with details of his part in the show - unless he's sworn to secrecy about it. I'm still wondering how they're gonna bring Rose back, and not have her automatically become the Doctor's companion again. When I first heard about this, it sounded like a weird fanfic(!)

I hope Sarah Jane returns as well, but I don't know that Luke's (or any of the others) presence is required. If aspects of her series even get a mention I'll be jumping up and down. ;-0)

But they did it in for Torchwood at the end of series team, when the Master referred to Jack's team - as did Jack himself. I think it'd be unrealistic to assume that she won't be a bit braggy about her life after she met the Doctor in School Reunion.

But there was a bit more time to make mentions too. I mean, from what's been said these episodes will include The Doctor, Donna, Martha, Rose, Jack & Sarah Jane. Some rumors even suggest Jackie, Pete, Mickey, & K9 will be there too. Plus Davros. And possibly the Master. That's a lot of stuff to pile into just a few episodes.

But like I said; if they have a mention of Sarah Jane's new situation - that will make me very happy. ;-0)
