Ep 82 - A Cool Reunion

Doctor Who: Verity! - A podcast by The Verities

Categories:

This week it's Kat's turn to pick a companioney story. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we talk about Sarah Jane Smith in "School Reunion". Is this representative of Sarah? Does that even matter? And how does this work as in introduction story for one of classic Who's most beloved companions? What are some other stories (and media) that show off Sarah Jane as a companion and highlight her relationship with the Doctor? We cover all that and more.

What do you think of "School Reunion" as a Sarah Jane Smith story? Do you think she's been waiting for the Doctor and pining away? Or do you think she's been out there kicking booty all along? Let us know in the comments!
