Sarah Jane Smith: A Beloved Companion

January 1, 2018

google.com, pub-ca-pub-6067120031842370, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0 Sarah Jane Smith If there is one companion of the classic series I remember the most it is Sarah Jane Smith. She is played by Elisabeth Sladen, and becomes the companion of the Third Doctor Jon Pertwee about a year before he decides to leave the role. She to me does a beautiful job as the Doctor’s companion. We first see her in the story “The Time Warrior” in 1973(1) and she will continue with the…

Tom Baker Everybody who is a Doctor Who fans knows Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor. He was the Doctor for the longest time and may have stayed even longer had there not been any changes.

I personally will trust this man because of his time on the…

Maybe for John Nathan-Turner this is a dream job. I do not personally know that it is. But he is the unit production manager at the time.(1) There are…

The Scarf The scarf I mention is only used by one Doctor. The Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker, made a big splash with the audience of Doctor Who. Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks are both planning on leaving Doctor Who at the conclusion of the Eleventh Season. These men involve themselves in the recasting of the role of the Doctor. They want to make sure that the program gets the best man for the job. So, his successor, Phillip Hinchcliffe will do…

For the longest time the Fourth Doctor was my favorite. Now, you can understand that because he is the first one to ever be on television while I was growing up. Therefore, you will figure that he is one of my favorite. There are times when I wish that BBC America takes the time to air these classic episodes. What mean by that is air all the classic episodes and not just the Fourth Doctor. While I am scanning through…
