Turns out that as predicted there weren’t many references to Doctor Who in part one of Eye of the Gorgon, other than to those lovely Sontarans. Was part two any different? Let us know of any refs you might have spotted in the comments section below!
Number one was one of The Medium is Not Enough’s most popular ever entries, so without further ado, here’s the second ‘Sarah Jane’s Doctor Who reference count’ – your opportunity to spot all the clever references in The Sarah Jane Adventures to Doctor Who.
I haven’t yet watched today’s episode, part one of Eye of the Gorgon, so I can’t help out. But I hear the Sontarans might have been given a shout out by the SJA massive. Any others?
Here’s one for the anoraks among us (which must include me, since I’m starting it): spotting subtle references to Doctor Who in The Sarah Jane Adventures. And I mean subtle, not Sarah Jane saying, “I met this alien called the Doctor and travelled in space and time”.
That’s very unsubtle.
I mean subtle references like the following:
That’s the most my hazy memory can dredge up from yesterday. Comment below if you spotted any others or want to whip back in time to last week’s episode and spot references there, too.
Ah, feel the nostalgia.
Current odds of the Doctor appearing in the final episode of the series, based on off-hand remarks made on-screen and in the press: 10-1
In the UK: Mondays, 5pm, BBC1
In the US: God knows
Blimey. Don’t know about you but it’s been a while since I tuned into Children’s BBC. Okay, technically I didn’t, because Bastard, my PVR, failed to record this and I had to borrow a copy, but all the same, I feel very odd, tuning into a programme that’s put out by the broom cupboard people of yore.
The action picks up where the pilot left off, back in sunny, not too offensive BBC-land. Luke the Asperger’s wannabe (oh yes, They’ll be watching, you know They will), with his poor social skills but top notch science powers, is ensconced in Sarah Jane’s house as a surrogate son. The female neighbour is still living with her nice dad and improbably brain dead mother.
Everything is pretty much as it was before, except the intrusion of the “a little bit too inner city for our liking” female sidekick from the pilot has been rebuffed by those fearsome BBC bosses and a less gabby male sidekick from Zone 6 of the tube map has been added to the roster of alien defeaters. He’s more generic, less screamy. He’s more parent-friendly. He’s just what the Beeb is looking for.
