The DVD box set for series 4 of The Sarah Jane adventures, due to be released October 31st by 2|entertain, will include the classic Doctor Who story, Pyramids of Mars, in the extras as a tribute to Elisabeth Sladen.
Pyramids of Mars sees Sarah Jane Smith and the Doctor arrive at an old priory in the year 1911 where the owner, Marcus Scarman, has been excavating ancient tombs and soon becomes possessed by the spirit of Sutekh, bringer of 'the gift of death to all mankind'. Will Sutekh the all-powerful be freed from his bonds and destroy the world, or will the Doctor manage to bring about his destruction?
If that's got you excited, then hold your breath, CBBC have been showing a sneaky little preview of series 5 to whet your appetite! Series 5 will air some time in October, although dates are still to be confirmed.

Pyramid of Mars??? I'm sorry, but I think that's rather pathetic. It's been out on DVD for years. Why not include a story that hasn't been released, or better still, give a really, REALLY good load of special features/interviews for SJA itself? After five years, you'd think it wouldn't be too difficult getting interviewees. Or perhaps they want to hold that for the S5 boxset...
Pathetic!?! Pyramids of Mars is one of the best Doctor Who episodes of all time. Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen are brilliant together - the best Doctor/companion combo ever. This is a great way to introduce young fans of SJA to classic Elisabeth Sladen Doctor Who episodes. Or would you prefer K-9 and Company? (lol)
