| Posted: 25 Jun 2008 03:32 AM CDT The latest issue of Bad Wolf Magazine has hit some shops around the UK, suspiciously looking and reading like Doctor Who Magazine. It confirms that alongside Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith) Thomas Knight and Alexander Armstrong will be appearing in this weekend's Doctor Who finale "The Stolen Earth", as Luke Smith and Mr. Smith respectively. Russell T Davies previews the finale's two episodes (with also includes July 5th's "Journey's End") and says this, teasing us more than ever before: "They're such good actors. I wouldn't insult them by giving them a couple of lines each. There's a danger that we talk about finales just in terms of explosions and stuff, but in the end it's about the characters and the actors. That's what people really come to watch." Elisabeth Sladen is herself interviewed on the magazine's back page, in the "Who on Earth is...?" section. She reveals that (sadly) John Barrowman didn't expose himself around her, on indeed fart in her vicinity. "That's respect!" Sladen laughs. She goes on to talk about meeting Davros again, and reveals a sad secret... "I think this is the last time I'll be here [on "Doctor Who"]. And I'm happy with that. You have to stop somewhere. And then I thought, well, I'd better enjoy these episodes. And I did. I had the most amazing time. It's been fun." Next issue they'll be another interview with both Sladen and Thomas Kinght. Finally, there's a further news report on the second series of "The Sarah Jane Adventures" - due to be broadcast on CBBC this Autumn. DWM reveals that Jocelyn Jee Esien (better known for her role in "Little Miss Jocelyn") will be introduced as Carla Langer, with Gary Beadle playing Paul Langer. They appear in a story by Joseph Lidster. Producer Nikki Smith says: "They make an unbeatable combination! We see Clyde's family take centre stage for the first time. It's powerful and compelling stuff, and promises to be one of our strongest stories yet." Graeme Harper will be heading on back to the Upper Boat studios to direct four new episodes of the series. "Graeme's practically a permanent member of the Upper Boat team," Smith continues, "As we welcome him back, straight from the climax to this year's Doctor Who. Graeme is loved by cast and crew alike - and by viewers too, I'd like to think - and he's got two exciting, heartbreaking stories to direct, with two writers at the top of their game." More cast and crew news can be found on our exclusive series two guide - coming soon! Doctor Who Magazine issue 397 is on sale from tomorrow, priced £3.99.  | ||
| DWM Issue #397 - cover & details Posted: 25 Jun 2008 02:10 AM CDT DWM Issue #397 - cover & details DWO have received the cover & details for DWM Issue #397: Doctor Who Magazine - Issue #397 IT’S THE END OF THE UNIVERSE... IN DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE 397! Jack’s back! And he’s taking on the Daleks! Torchwood star John Barrowman talks exclusively to DWM about his return to Doctor Who and on working with actress Elisabeth Sladen – aka the legendary Sarah Jane Smith... “I’m in love with Lis,” confesses John. “The first time that I met her, a year or so ago, she was coming out of an elevator. I grabbed her and said, ‘I just want to say what an honour it is to meet you. I am so thrilled! Hopefully, we’ll get a chance to work together one day.’ She was very gracious, but after she’d gone I thought, John, you idiot, you’ve embarrassed yourself in front of Sarah Jane Smith! ”When she came on set for these final episodes, there was a point when Davros appeared and I grabbed her hand, and we’re looking at each other as John and Elisabeth, looking and thinking, this is so surreal! We were part of history that day. We all had to take in the moment, because it will probably never happen again. And our final scene together – oh, it was beautiful.” Is Sarah Jane attracted to Jack? Should he even go there? ALSO THIS ISSUE: DWM #397 goes on sale at newsagents from Thursday 26th May priced &ound;3.99.

| Posted: 24 Jun 2008 11:15 AM CDT I grew up watching Sarah Jane Smith. Yeah, I know, I wasn't there - not for the initial 1973/6 run anyways. But I caught the re-runs during the early 1990's, and my Dad bought every single VHS that was being released by the BBC. Though I watched the series out-of-order, in a very non-sequential manner, I still feel like I somehow 'own' the SJS era; more than any other era of the classic series, with the exception of maybe late Sylvester McCoy's (story I actually did grow up watching on television!) It's one of the reasons why "School Reunion" had me, for want of a better expression, squee-ing so much; because here she was, Sarah Jane Smith, back on our screens in a brand new adventure. Brand new! And then they went and announced "The Sarah Jane Adventures" and, already writing Torchwood.tv at the time, I decided I just had to give something back and report on the development of this new series. Just 'cos; It's Sarah Jane Smith, okay? Now she's back again, in the latest Doctor Who adventure - "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End" - the finale to the show's fourth season. And I'm getting that feeling again, of growing anticipation and exciting, because she's coming back to our screens; not just in spin-off mood, but full-on meeting the Doctor, stepping inside the TARDIS (probably) and having adventures with the Time Lord mode again. Ooh, it's my childhood all over again! Of course, the Daleks are back. Davros too! Torchwood will be there, so it'll be a postively packed threeway (hey you, Mr. Inneundo lover, watch it!). But most importantly, the old girl is back where she belongs, perhaps for the final time - but what a way to go! Oh, and she has her name in the credits. Result! "The Stolen Earth" arrives Saturday, 7:10pm on BBC One.  | ||
