The Sarah Jane Adventures - quite good aren't they!

[foxinsocks]

I recorded them so that I could watch them with dd (writing that it sounds sad lol but I'm at work all day and I like a good cuddle on the couch with dd!)

Just watched this last 2 parter - thought the Judoon were fabulous!

[UnquietDad]

Although I could do without all the HUGGING in SJA. We get it, you lurve each other. No need to hug every time you save the fucking world.

I can't say this on Facebook cos the script editor is one of my FBFs

[edam]

Aw, that's a bit grumpy UQD, it is for kids after all!

Also nice to see Elizabeth Sladen with a programme of her own - what on earth did she do all those years between 70s Dr Who and SJA?

[UnquietDad]

They're not constantly hugging in MI High or Tracy Beaker or Raven or My Parents Are Aliens, though, are they?

Lis Sladen appeared in the DW 1983 one-off special and also did some audio adventures as SJS. She had time off to raise a family (her daughter, Sadie Miller, is now an actress too) and did some other acting work, but nothing as high-profile as SJS.

Ah, thanks for that.

Love MI High too - headmaster is an old friend of ours from the days of fringe theatre but lost touch with him about a decade ago. Nice to see one of the actors we knew in something other than an advert!

[UnquietDad]

And I say moisturiser and good diet, while DW says Botox.

[nymphadora]

Oh and requisitioning the police car with a reciept

[UnquietDad]

Imagine the Judoon coming up against the Daleks. "Extermination of other life forms against Galactic Law Code 7, Subsection 4. You nicked. Penalty: death."

[nymphadora]

By the time they had got all that out daleks would have beaten them with ' exterminate'

[UnquietDad]

Arf. I bet the Judoon have some sort of deathray immobilisation device. Like a galactic space clamp. Or a Tazer.

[foxinsocks]

oh edam, you know the worst thing is that I can barely remember. It was History and Biology. Biology because I took the piss out of the teacher's accent and History because I refused to do any work . Poor teachers!

I love the Judoon!

[sphil]

I've been hugging DS1 and then pretending to flick out a long forked tongue at every opportunity today. Gets him EVERY time

[foxinsocks]

So the doctor next week then? (looks like it from the preview!)

[foxinsocks]

I mean the doctor on SJ

[Idontknowhowtohelpher]

Yes, dd2 came running to get me to see the trailer for next week's Sarah Jane - "look, look, its The Doctor" (She speaks about him in capitals . I am going to have to break it to her gently that we are out on Thursday - that was bad planning .

[foxinsocks]

oh no, can you record it?

dd told me she had a confession to make (and I was thinking OMG what has she done!) and she said 'mummy I watched SJ adventures without you because I was so excited about them!' (as normally she waits till I'm back from work and we watch together!

I suspect she'll be doing the same next week . Looks like he features quite a bit (from that preview).

[Idontknowhowtohelpher]

Oh yes, I'll be recording it - just for dd2, you understand
