Well, Sarah Jane forced the issue... as usual, he was trying to avoid actually saying good bye.

Still, it was amazing that they got to see each other again, a lovely reunion. That rarely happens to the Doctor... and he never does seem to seek it out.

She did back him into a corner about saying goodbye, but I think in a way the Doctor was relieved to have that closure for once.

I'm glad Sarah Jane got to share another adventure with the Doctor, of the old companions she was the one who most deserved it.

Thank you.

That is such a good episode. The last time I watched it, I was surprised at how emotional I got. I think it was a combination of knowing that David was pretty much one big fanboy, so the enthusiasm wasn't just a performance, and then the fact of Lis having died; the time before that, she was still alive and I hadn't known what a fan David had been.

I watched Lis Sladen when I was a kid, so even the first time I saw the episode was quite emotional. Now, of course, it has an added resonance because of the sad loss of the wonderful Ms Sladen.

Thank you.

RTD had to put that silly cat fight in with Rose didn't he?

[badly_knitted]

Of course, because he can't let things just be nice, there has to be conflict *rolls eyes*

It makes me wonder if RTD just wanted to create Torchwood just to rid Rose (tempoarily) and everything else was an after thought.

[badly_knitted]

RTD DIDN'T want to create Torchwood at all. He wanted to make a series called Excalibur where a woman comes across an alien-hunting organisation and becomes part of it, and basically takes over, she was to be the central character. The BBC wanted an adult Doctor Who spin-off with Captain Jack as the main character leading a team. RTD agreed to do it, but added elements of the show he'd had turned down, then set about getting rid of all the bits he didn't want, which mostly meant the rest of the team

I guess she just had too many responsibilities on earth what with Luke and his friends. It would have been good though.

Thank you!
