Notes on David Tennant's 'Sarah Jane' stint
It's the moment we've all been waiting for: David Tennant's appearance in The Sarah Jane Adventures! The two-part story, 'The Wedding Of Sarah Jane Smith', airs next Thursday and Friday on BBC One, but for now, here are ten teasers on what to expect:
1. DT is technically in both episodes, but he doesn't appear right until the end of the first one. His opening words? "Stop this wedding now!"
2. Ahh yes, the wedding. Sarah Jane is getting married! To Nigel Havers. Erm, correction: a businessman called Peter Dalton who is played by Nigel Havers.
3. Yes, their relationship moves quickly - although there is a lot of use of things like "one week later".
4. But that aside, there's definitely something untoward going on here. Who's to blame? Why, it's Sarah Jane's old friend The Trickster!
5. When The Doctor shows up, he's quickly parted from Sarah Jane (and the TARDIS). He's got the kids to help him out, though.
6. The Doctor says two of his standard catchphrases: "Allons-y" and "I'm so sorry."
7. The Doctor is referred to as "the man of ice and fire" and is told that "the gate is waiting for you".
8. One of the kids receives a massive shock. Literally.
9. Words are nice, but here's a couple of exclusive pictures from the episodes:


10. The story ends with an exchange between Sarah Jane and The Doctor that provoked tears here at DS Towers. And she has a final line that we'll all be thinking around Christmas time: "No-one's **** ***** ** ****** ***."

"No-one's ever going to forget you." - wow, how poignant and beautiful. Indeed - David, we will never forget you. I thought I was alright with the upcoming regeneration, but I cried at the end of this ep - the Doctor's face as Sarah leaves is heart-wrenching. I dread to think what I'll be like come christmas. *sob*

I think it's going to be a fantastic pair of episodes featuring the Doctor (David Tennant) and I personal think that Luke will think he's brilliant, Clyde will think he's cool, Mr Smith might respect him and Rani might have a crush on him! My friend Brandon Judd thought it would be the Doctor getting married to Sarah Jane, but when I told him it wasn't and showed him the pictures he said to himself in the mirror: Bastard! Bastard, bastard, bastard! Stupid, stupid bastard! You stupid, stupid bastard! You stupid bastard arse! You arse! You stupid arsed bastard! You stupid arse, bollock bastard, nimple faced terd! Why did you think that?!

Can't wait for this episode, I though the last one with Mad Old Rani in the Attic was brilliant!

Looking forward very much indeed, this weeks ep of SJA was brilliant, bringing back K9 was fantastic and now we get to see the Dr as well ! Can't wait for Thursday and Friday, just hope it lives up to all the expectation and hype. Liz and David have worked well together previously and so are my hopes are high? "Yes mistress" !

you can guarantee that whatever she says it will be a great line...gonna miss david tennant as the doctor :( Sarah Jane should have been in more eps with him I think. bit annoying that technically that the doctor is in apparently mostly part 2...means we have to wait for friday really. to be honest, it does seem a while since we have had any Who, with there being a big gap between planet of the dead and waters of mars, and now we have SJA + DW in practically the same month, but don't forget we did have Torchwood :D

Love it when he says 'Allons-y'... hope they, keep that as Tennant Quote like 'Fantastic' with Eccleston. Going to miss David when he leaves DW but Matt Smith looks promising... Sarah Jane is brill... her and the Doctor equals awesome... As for the quote, 'No-ones ever going to replace you' is my bet

I absolutely cannot wait for these episodes. Personally, they could be shown at a better time. Part 1 airs on mty brithday, with part2 the next. So getting to see my favouorite TV character -albeit on a different show than normal - on my birthday is great. I hope they have a nice chat referring to The Stolen Earth/Journey's End. The Series fo far has been great, and is the only series where I've seen every episode.
