one week and counting!
7 DAYS UNTIL SARAH JANE ADVENTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very, very excited.
As for "Death of the Doctor," I think I'm even more excited to see that than I was to see "The Big Bang." I hope it's just as good!
In other news, an apparent prop from SJA has shown up in the bookcase of BBC's new series, Sherlock. The prop in question is a book, Teleological Response of the Virus by Lavinia Smith. Lavinia Smith is, of course, the name of Sarah's aunt, and the work in question is mentioned by the Third Doctor in Sarah's first episode, "Time Warrior."
I have a couple of responses:
1) It's way, way cool that this prop book was created for SJA. I haven't ever seen it on the show, but maybe it will show up in this new series? Or maybe it's always been lurking in the background in the attic, and we just haven't noticed it yet.
2) I like that the book has traveled from SJA to Sherlock. In fact, I now want to see it make an appearance on other BBC shows! Because let's face it, every series can be improved by an obscure Doctor Who reference in the set dressing. : )

Also: that sneaky little crossover is AWESOME. Even if the idea of Sherlock and the Doctor existing in the same universe does slightly terrify me.
(I thought I had a SJS icon, but it seems ot have gone walkabout. Hmm.)

Well, the main show isn't even on again for months, so that seems perfectly logical to me. ; ) Also SJA is a really good show, and it's good in its own right, separate from the parent show. It is not just a "kiddie version" of Doctor Who, and if you look forward to it more, there's nothing at all wrong with that!
Yes, the sneaky crossover is awesome. I want that book to show up on all BBC shows now! It should be in Gaius' study on Merlin! It should be on George's bookshelf in Being Human! It should be in a car on Top Gear! Yes, Doctor Who exists in EVERY UNIVERSE! 'Tis canon.
Appropriate icon is appropriate
Why not expand from the book? Let's have Bessie on Top Gear, and Colin Morgan as the Doctor one day. Then the Doctor will be Merlin, and Battlefield's loose end gets resolved.
Not sure what to do about George though... I guess, now that we've established that Sherlock and DW exist in the same universe, Being Human could cross over with Sherlock with an epic serial-killer-catching spree in Bristol. John can nearly get bitten and Anderson will turn out to be a vampiric plant in the Forensic Science Service who's been planning to turn Sherlock for ages but never quite found the time.
Also, Mycroft is the only person on Earth who knows what's going on, and the Brigadier hates him for it.
Re: Appropriate icon is appropriate
LOL! Literally; you almost made me choke, here. :D But yes, Bessie on Top Gear! And then in the last episode of Merlin, Colin Morgan leaves the message "Dig hole here," sets up all those other little hanging threads from "Battlefield," then regenerates into William Hartnell and steals a police box! That would be awesome. Oh, and he also battles the Krillitane that has been ruling Camelot pretending to be Uther Pendragon, because Uther actually died twenty years ago. Unfortunately, the Krillitane gets away and becomes a headmaster at a school in Deffrey Vale.
OMG, IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!!!
Speaking of Doctor Who references on Top Gear, have you ever seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G7Ou3-k_uA
Re: Appropriate icon is appropriate
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. Gaius then goes on to found the Holmes dynasty, of course.
Speaking of Doctor Who references on Top Gear, have you ever seen this?
OMG no! That's brilliant. Poor Daleks, they will never rule any predominantly bipedal universe.
(On a similar note, this.)
Re: Appropriate icon is appropriate
And yes, poor Daleks, defeated by a Honda Civic.
I really need to see Sherlock. It's finally airing here at the end of the month (I'm in the U.S.), and I wasn't particularly interested in it tbh, but everyone has been talking about how good it is, so now I want to see it.
Re: Appropriate icon is appropriate
Daleks vs Honda Civics reminds me of David Mitchell's argument that increasing access for disabled people is a Dalek plot to take over the world more efficiently, but I can't seem to find the clip on YouTube.
