NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 149: "Death of the Doctor" is Up!

"It's daft, though, because, well, we were both saying that we had this theory that if you ever died, we'd feel it some somehow...We'd just know. That's just silly, isn't it?"
"I don't know...maybe not, 'cause between you and me, if that day ever comes...I think the whole universe might just shiver."
-- Sarah Jane Smith and the Eleventh Doctor, The Sarah Jane Adventures: "Death of the Doctor"

Hello again, Whovians!  My partner in time Jesse Jackson returns to Next Stop Everywhere to help me discuss "Death of the Doctor", the third serial from The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 4 in 2010, starring Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Katy Manning as Jo (Grant) Jones, and Finn Jones as Santiago Jones!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Jesse and I both playing under the weather, Luke Smith being written out of The Sarah Jane Adventures, Russell T. Davies writing for the Eleventh Doctor, whether James Bond is a Time Lord, Katy Manning finally returning on screen as Jo Grant/Jones, Finn Jones as Iron Fist, wanting to see the progeny of a companion as a companion, Jimmy Vee as the new R2-D2, the Doctor's offhand remark about being able to regenerate 507 times, Jo realizing that the Doctor has been checking up on what she's been doing since she left him, TV canon overwriting book canon, getting status updates on other past companions, RTD intending to reintroduce Sophie Aldred as Ace on The Sarah Jane Adventures, that awkward moment when the Eleventh Doctor tells Jo that he has married companions, wondering why more companions in the same time era don't reach out to one another, Jo geeking out of being inside the TARDIS once again, Jesse needing the Doctor to connect to The Sarah Jane Adventures, H.R. Pufnstuf, The Sarah Jane Adventures' puppetry compared to Farscape's, running down the Shansheeths' plan, our favorite quotes of the story, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Holly from Wisconsin and Hannah Skorapa, teasing Episode 150, and more!

NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 146: "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith" is Up!

"I hope you're as good as Sarah Jane says you are."
"Well, you know journalists, always exaggerating, but yeah, I'm pretty amazing on a good day."
-- Clyde Langer and the Tenth Doctor, The Sarah Jane Adventures: "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith"

Hello again, Whovians!  This time, OG partner in time Jesse Jackson returns to Next Stop Everywhere to help me discuss "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith", the third serial from The Sarah Jane Adventures Series Three in 2009, starring Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Paul Marc Davis as The Trickster, and John Leeson as the voice of K-9 Mark IV!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Jesse's first time watching The Sarah Jane Adventures, The Sarah Jane Adventures being a much better Doctor Who spinoff than Class, Russell T. Davies being a talented showrunner, Elisabeth Sladen being taken from us much too soon, David Tennant's final performance as the Tenth Doctor until "The Day of the Doctor", Nicholas Courtney being unable to reprise The Brigadier, the petition wanting Netflix to cancel Good Omens even though it's an Amazon Prime miniseries, Jesse crushing on Elisabeth Sladen, Sarah Jane being in the Doctor role with her own companions, my initial expectations for the series when it first aired, the kids being appealing in a Goonies and Stranger Things type way, wondering if Ryan and Yaz were inspired by Clyde and Rani, why Luke Smith would've been a good character to add into Class, the kids being capable of doing things on their own without Sarah Jane, the Doctor being important to the story without taking over Sarah Jane's TV show, "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith" being a bonus Tenth Doctor story, the Doctor's previous companions needing a support group, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Holly from Wisconsin and Paul from Australia, my 50th birthday weekend, my report of the "The State of Doctor Who Today" panel and meeting Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury at Origins 2019 in Columbus, Origins' poor planning of the Doctor Who room and autograph traffic, some Doctor Who Series 12 news, and more!

THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES: "Death of the Doctor" Spoilers

According to the UK's The List, the upcoming "Death of the Doctor" story for The Sarah Jane Adventures will feature more Doctor Who connections than appearances by the Eleventh Doctor and former companion Jo Grant. 

Fans of the sci-fi shows will see characters Sarah Jane and Jo pair up to rescue The Doctor after they are tricked into believing he has been killed, and invited to his funeral.

But the pair quickly realise the ceremony is a trap, and learn that a group of aliens called The Shansheeth have captured the TARDIS, leaving the Time Lord stranded on a planet.

These vulture-like aliens then attempt to use a "memory weave" to connect with the pair's brains and past thoughts, and learn how to unlock the time-travelling machine through their past experiences with The Doctor.

As they reminisce, viewers of the show will watch video flashbacks of previous Time Lords William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker, whilst their iconic nemeses The Daleks, Sea Devils, Sontarans and Davros also make a return.

As diehard Whovians know, Jo has only met the First, Second and Third Doctors, the Daleks and the Sea Devils of those listed (as far as we know), so it seems like most of these flashbacks will come from Sarah Jane's memories.  If so, I have to wonder if Peter Davison and David Tennant's Doctors will be included in the footage as well. 

"Death of the Doctor" is written by former Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies (using animal monsters yet again, go figure) and is scheduled to air in the UK on October 25th.

It's great seeing Jo Grant again after all these years, but do the monsters have to resemble the Skeksis from The Dark Crystal?
