What? You've never seen any SJA? Not even the episode that brought back the Brigadier??? Oh, you must! I think you would really like the show. It's well-written, and most of the time it's very easy to forget that it's a children's show (although every once in awhile there's a slightly preachy / mawkish scene where you do get reminded). Besides being a solid piece of entertainment, it slips in far more Classic Who references than the parent show does: sly things in the background (a picture of Harry Sullivan on a shelf), throw-away dialogue references (Metebelis 3 got a mention), actual flashbacks (we saw Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker!) and of course, special guest stars like the one we're getting soon. So definitely give it a try. You can jump right in, too -- no need to go back and hunt up old episodes to get up to speed.
