dbskyler7 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. : )

Date: 2010-10-05 05:45 pm (UTC)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

OMG no! That's brilliant. Poor Daleks, they will never rule any predominantly bipedal universe.
(On a similar note, this.)

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.

Date: 2010-10-05 09:34 pm (UTC)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.
