| News: Tom - Show Me The Script Posted: 17 Aug 2009 09:18 AM PDT Doctor Who legend Tom Baker has been discussing the idea of a Children in Need reunion. He would like to see a script and might even consider it. He's also declared that he would want input into the script - a sure fire way of getting to the bottom of whether or not the project and producers are serious. More interesting than his declaration of intent however are the Great Man's thoughts on kissing girls as the Doctor. "...If people can appear and disappear and walk through walls and... | ||
| Posted: 17 Aug 2009 08:51 AM PDT She's been around for years and while you can't fault the latent professionalism of June Whitfield, it was one of those "let something slip!" moments when she was featured in the California Chronicle today and mentioned her appearance in the final Doctor Who episodes of David Tennant. Talking about a career that goes back longer than most of us reading this have been on the planet, Whitfield is best known for appearances in the Carry On films, starring in Terry and June on BBC TV... | ||

| Posted: 17 Aug 2009 02:00 AM PDT Here at SARAH-JANE.tv, we love hearing about SJA's large worldwide audience. :) Having initially been exported to English-speaking countries like the US and Australia, there are now a growing number of non-English speaking countries taking an interest in SJA, too! Le avventure di Sara Jane premiered in Italy late last year, and work on a Russian dub of the show is currently well underway! As far as DVD's go, though - the show's only ever had boxset releases in English-speaking countries. Until now, that is...! In what could be described as the most idiotically random purchase ever, I recently got my hands on an 'official' SJA boxset...from Thailand(!) :P Given Asia's notorious reputation in piracy, I was fairly certain it was a bootleg. But I was intrigued, nevertheless. Imitation being the greatest form of flattery, you know a show's really made it big if even the bootlegger's want a piece of the action! So I decided to acquire a copy of the boxset off eBay for a review of its features. Could it hold its own against the boxset's Western counterparts?       I have to admit, the packaging does look rather slick. Most of the pictures, logos and text have a reflective glossy overlay that catches the light when angled. Furthermore, the actual SJA logo on the front cover has a sort of bumpy relief effect that you can run your fingers over. Very swish! My only criticisms for the cover are the tell-tale signs that it could be bootlegged. Namely, the poor choice of font for some of the text and the lack of crispness with some of the images due to a washed-out print-job. In my humble opinion, these defects let down the little effort that's gone into making the cover look professional...  The main DVD case is housed within the card packaging.   I quite like how the back of the case isn't identical to the Region 2 back cover; which gives some credence to the fact that the boxset may be an original BBC-licenced release using official SJA graphics as its source!  The case interior isn't as desireable as the Region 2 set, but it certainly doesn't look that much different to its Region 1 cousin. The disc art's little more than a repetition of the front cover, but what else could they do with two DVD's?  Maybe it's a teeny bit shallow judging something by its cover. But to be honest, it doesn't get much better when you put a disc on:  The navigation menu's original 16:9 aspect ratio seems to have gotten squashed into a standard 4:3 box! On top of that, the animated menu buttons have been replaced with garish blue ones, with an even more garish hover colour! The boxset's been simplified into a bare-bones Vanilla release, so there aren't any extras included on the discs whatsoever. The only other background used is:  And this, which sees a switch back to an original widescreen menu:  Disappointing as the navigation menu's are, the actual episodes [quite surprisingly] look ruddy magnificent! With three stories to a disc, the video quality seems even crisper than the boxset's Region 2 counterpart!  The eppy's come in the original English, but it's far more hilarious watching SJA dubbed in Thai! Here's a teaser of what some of the voice actors sound like: 'Sonic lipstick!' Lol. I think Thai-Sarah Jane sounds scarily like our very own Lis! And even though Thai-Luke sounds like he's on steroids, I quite like his voice actor, too. Can't wait to watch the rest of the first series, and hear what Thai-Clyde sounds like(!) For what it's worth, I do think this boxset is an original release - a shoddy one, but still original. Despite its poor finish and lack of extras, it's a perfectly acceptable release for the market it was intended. :)  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now | ||

| News: Character Actress Linda Polan Dies Posted: 15 Aug 2009 11:16 PM PDT We've recently been informed that British character actress Linda Polan passed away on July 13th - her long career on stage and screen in the UK took Polan across some classic cult serials including the original Survivors, not to mention K-9 and Company, the first ill-fated spin off for the robot dog in 1981 which co-starred Lis Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith. Polan appeared as the character Juno Baker in the 1981 special, but is perhaps better known to long-time British TV viewers as Mrs Ploppy... |
