I'm glad John Leeson is back too.

Sorry, never liked her. Wasn't all that keen on the dog, though I didn't actively dislike it, and its existence is wholly justified by appearances in Queer as Folk.

Sarah Jane's presence will make Mr A. a happy man, and for that alone I am glad. I loved K9 as a kiddy.

I never liked Sarah-Jane either, though when many years later I saw some of the stories she had been in I found her far less annoying than I had remembered. I wasn't very keen on K9 either.

I have a feeling she may have been the TV character responsible for turning me into a "women's libber" in the 70s (before I turned 10).

She was supposed to be a strong-minded, feisty, career woman, but she seemed to spend most of her time either screaming or asking silly questions. Maybe she came across better if one was under ten. :)

I remember her as always ready to answer the Doctor back. Memory can be selective like that!

Oh, good news! I wondered whether they'd do that, with Sarah Jane being back. Hurrah!

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-08-24 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hurrah indeed!

YAY! That's brilliant. The next series is going to be fab.

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-08-24 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I heartily concur! :-D

Very nostalgic - the earliest episodes I can remember were with Tom Baker and K9.

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2005-08-25 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
They're my earliest memories too, although I think of Davison as "My Doctor".

oh dear god no

Aw, poor K9!

Sod the dog. Sarah-Jane, on the other hand...

Can we have Tegan back too? Like, permanently.

Much happiness in this house about the return of Sarah Jane.

I thought they'd bring him back when I heard about Sarah Jane. Mickey being a companion is a new one on me though!

It didn't occur to me, but it does make sense.

Mickey being a companion is a new one on me though!
Hmmm, but if it's set on present-day Earth, then he probably isn't a "companion", he'll just be participating in the episode to the same level he has before, being dragged into the mayhem.

'Sidekicks Rose and Mickey' seemed to imply they were both companions, but you're probably right.

I hope we get some alien planets though. I know all the Earth eps made a very satisfying arc in the end, but I'd like a bit of strangeness too.

RTD has said that there will be some alien planets in the new series.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-08-25 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, good. :-)

Poor Mickey. I think standard criteria for companionhood is "travelling in the TARDIS between stories" - I'm not sure he's done that yet.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-08-25 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Or been in every story. It just made me wonder if he conquered his fear and went with Rose.

Maybe the new Doctor will "do domestic".
