Bonus Episode: Saluting Sarah Jane with Anthony Strand
The companion episode to our previous look at Torchwood, this one takes a long, generally fonder look at the other Russell T. Davies-era spinoff, The Sarah Jane Adventures. Alasdair is joined by new friend of the show Anthony Strand to discuss the enduring appeal of this show and look at a few highlights from the show's 27 stories. We look at the subtly shifting cast and why Elisabeth Sladen was so brilliant as the (relatively speaking) unconventional lead for a children's show. We discuss what the various child actors brought to the show and spotlight some of our favorite guest stars, from classic Who companions to future new series ones. And we run through some of our favorite episodes, as Sarah Jane and her young friends take on Slitheen, Sontarans, the Trickster, and much more!
