Mr Smith, I need you!

Yes, Sarah Jane Smith is back with her intrepid band of teenage sleuths in a new series of the Sarah Jane Adventures. Tony and Trev have taken a look at the opening story, Last of the Sontarans and give their thoughts on this exciting two-part opener for Season 2.

We done our earphones and immerse ourselves in another Big Finish audio this episode. The Doomwood Curse with the 6th Doctor gets the WhoCast review treatment.

Feedback also features again this episode, with our listeners sharing their thoughts on reviewing styles, new Who and old Who, anti or pro RTD, and just how do the boys sound so damn good when they are on opposite sides of the planet?

Also make sure you stick around for the closing bit where we announce yet another competition for you lucky listeners, in which our Australia downloaders can get their mitts on some wonderful books from the bods at Random House.

Can we cram any more in? Well, you will just have to listen to find out!
