Quotes:
• ‘Doctor?’ ‘Yes?’ ‘I can see you’re busy but, uh, what about Sarah?’ ‘Sarah?’ ‘Owwwww!’ ‘That sounds like Sarah...’ ‘Help me!’ - The Doctor, Harry and Sarah, after the Transmat lands her in an awkward position
• ‘Okay, old thing?’ ‘Harry, I’m not a thing.’ - Harry and Sarah
• ‘I’ve lost my sonic screwdriver – I feel absolutely lost without it!’ ‘I’ve found your sonic screwdriver, Doctor... the pit!’ ‘Ssh! What would I do without you?’ - What a good question...
• ‘Female, Number One, First Assessment – Would appear to have no military justification – offensive value therefore nil.’ - The Sontaran obviously doesn't know Sarah well...
• ‘Why did you make that disagreeable noise?’ - The Sontaran, after Sarah screams
Wardrobe Appreciation
Sarah really only wears one outfit in this story, but since it's only a two-parter, we'll let it slide. Since she does look quite cool.
It's the good old yellow mac, with some matching trousers, too! Oh, and nice warm gloves. Perhaps Earth is very chilly in the future. Anyway, Sarah does the sensible thing and wraps up warm.
There are some very bright wellies, too, and a hat. Nice colour.
Later on, we discover that she's got a lovely jumper on underneath, as well as some blue culottes.
And here's a closer look at one of her rings. Isn't it pretty?
The Panel Said...
Style Watch:
paranoidangel: That hat suits her quite nicely but red wellies with a yellow mac! I know she must have changed quickly at the end of The Ark in Space but even so. 6/10
Cadi: I like the jumper...that's it though :P
hhertzof: I love the yellow raincoat set. It's so adorable. 9/10
Llin: I love the mac, but the wellies are a bit much. 6/10
Sarah_JaneSmith: Aww she's lovely in that Yellow outfit, i especially love her woolley hat, i have hats like that. 10/10
Sarah Watch:
paranoidangel: She's quite good in this one, with rescuing various people. And you can't really blame her for being scared when the Sontaran is purposely trying to do just that. 8/10
hhertzof: Watch Sarah go off to rescue people then get captured. Watch Sarah get rescued in a cute scene with the Doctor. Did she ever give him back his sonic screwdriver or hide it in her pocket, so she could keep it? 8/10
Llin: There's rescuing, and cuteness with Harry. 7/10
Sarah_JaneSmith: She's great in this one, rescuing and getting captured, it's pure Sarah 10/10
Story Watch:
paranoidangel: It's interesting but just as well it's only two episodes because there's really not a lot of plot there. And certainly not a lot that makes any sense. 6/10
hhertzof: Better the second time around. The Sontarans are growing on me. 7/10
Llin: I like it. Everyone gets to do cool stuff. 7/10
Sarah_JaneSmith: Some stories suffer for being too long, this one suffers for being too short, i wish it was an episode or 2 longer they could have done so much more. 9/10
Bonus Pictures
Couldn't forget to mention Harry being all heroic in his smashing duffle coat!
Here's the duffle again, and Sarah looking cross, and no wonder.
Aren't they adorable?
Eep, scary!
Aaawww.
