Never Forget

So there we have it, The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith has concluded here in the UK. What a corker, hey! Those last few scenes were truly heartbreaking, especially knowing just how little time David Tennant's Tenth Doctor has left. He asks Sarah-Jane (and us, the viewer) "don't forget" - but how could we? You've been fantastic, and such a sport for agreeing to do these crossover episodes.

CLYDE LANGER (DANIEL ANTHONY) IS IN AWE OF IT ALL...

The BBCi SJA site has posted a video diary, made by Daniel Anthony (Clyde Langer) on the last day of recording on this adventure - which was also some of the last footage that David Tennant shot as the Doctor.

Those lucky enough to go to last weekend's screenings in Liverpool will recognise the feature, after it was shown as part of a bigger CBBC advertising package made for the event.

Go watch it now for a chance to see both Daniel and Tommy Knight wearing the Doctor's coat, and for the heartwarming gift that Daniel received... and had signed!

You can still catch both parts of The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith on iPlayer (pending any problems the service is having streaming content, which seems to have plagued the SJA on there today...) over the course of the next seven days.

Did you know that Zienia Merton (who played the Registrar in this week's episode) originally appeared in Doctor Who waaaaaay back in 1964 during the Marco Polo adventure, playing the youthful Ping-Cho, a local girl who befriended the Doctor's grandaughter Susan Foreman in the 13th Century...

Next week... Floella Benjamin!

That was something I wanted to ask about actually - where did the registra go, after the Trickster appeared? I know she was there at the end, after Peter had gone, but when Rani's parents and everyone carried on in time, I didn't see her go with them.

Aside from that tiny detail - I literally didn't breath through the final fifteen minutes. And then spent far too long afterwards yelling at my poor laptop about how many times a man-who-isn't-a-man-at-all can break a woman's heart!!

I thought it was a bit of a letdown in the last few minutes, i was expecting something bigger.

I'll be most disappointed if this didn't get 2 million people watching it. Superb eppy...and we're only halfway through!

Carnivac - mayve she gets bugged because only the Doctor is allowed to call her Sarah. It's a familiarity she reserves for him alone.

*Crosses fingers* When will the viewing figures be released?

Sarah said...

Ooh I can't wait for the competition results today! :D Hope people didn't cheat in voting or anything... I'd be happy to be runner-up but I think we should all get some sort of reward, like a print-out certificate.

Nabu San said...

Deadline for voting is the end of tonight munchkin, results may not be announced for a few days :)

I'm excited, too!

Sarah said...

Oh, I thought the results were being shown tonight. Phew, I can stop checking the website and get back to watching sja!
Posting that Bubbleshock bottle to whoever wins the contest is gong to cost a fortune though.

Nabu San said...

Oh mai, poor wording on my part for the website :P You're quite right. Made a bit of a booboo! But can't correct it now, site's being taken off in a few hours ^_^

Sarah said...

I think maybe I just read it too fast. So the contest results will be here Wednesday-ish?
:)

Nabu San said...

Maybe even Monday!
