Doctor Who special scene features touching Sarah Jane Smith nod
The new scene is teasing the upcoming Blu-Ray release of the complete ninth season of classic Doctor Who.
A new Doctor Who scene teasing the upcoming Blu-Ray release of the complete ninth season of the classic series includes a touching nod to Sarah Jane Smith.
The teaser was written by Pete McTighe – whose past episodes include Praxeus and Kerblam! – and sees the Third Doctor's companion Jo Jones (Katy Manning) encounter some Sea Devils, including a baby that hatches from an egg.
At one point in the clip, she can be seen using the Sonic Lipstick which was previously used by her friend in The Sarah Jane Adventures – presumably meaning that she has inherited it from Sarah Jane.
"Just my colour!" remarks a wistful Jo. "Oh, thank you Sarah Jane!"
