'Sarah Jane' writer hails "best" Sontaran

The Sarah Jane Adventures writer Phil Ford has praised the villain in the opening second season story 'The Last Sontaran'.

"Commander Kaagh is the last survivor of the task force that attacked Earth in 'The Sontaran Stratagem'... [and] we haven't seen a Sontaran like this before," he told Doctor Who Magazine. "He's got a few tricks up his sleeve and he was just fantastic to write for."

"Personally I think he's the best Sontaran that we've ever seen in the Doctor Who world," Ford added, before describing Kaagh actor Anthony O'Donnell's performance as "fantastic... he is an amazing Sontaran".
