"I hope you're as good as Sarah Jane says you are."
"Well, you know journalists, always exaggerating, but yeah, I'm pretty amazing on a good day."
-- Clyde Langer and the Tenth Doctor, The Sarah Jane Adventures: "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith"
Hello again, Whovians! This time, OG partner in time Jesse Jackson returns to Next Stop Everywhere to help me discuss "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith", the third serial from The Sarah Jane Adventures Series Three in 2009, starring Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Paul Marc Davis as The Trickster, and John Leeson as the voice of K-9 Mark IV!
In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Jesse's first time watching The Sarah Jane Adventures, The Sarah Jane Adventures being a much better Doctor Who spinoff than Class, Russell T. Davies being a talented showrunner, Elisabeth Sladen being taken from us much too soon, David Tennant's final performance as the Tenth Doctor until "The Day of the Doctor", Nicholas Courtney being unable to reprise The Brigadier, the petition wanting Netflix to cancel Good Omens even though it's an Amazon Prime miniseries, Jesse crushing on Elisabeth Sladen, Sarah Jane being in the Doctor role with her own companions, my initial expectations for the series when it first aired, the kids being appealing in a Goonies and Stranger Things type way, wondering if Ryan and Yaz were inspired by Clyde and Rani, why Luke Smith would've been a good character to add into Class, the kids being capable of doing things on their own without Sarah Jane, the Doctor being important to the story without taking over Sarah Jane's TV show, "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith" being a bonus Tenth Doctor story, the Doctor's previous companions needing a support group, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Holly from Wisconsin and Paul from Australia, my 50th birthday weekend, my report of the "The State of Doctor Who Today" panel and meeting Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury at Origins 2019 in Columbus, Origins' poor planning of the Doctor Who room and autograph traffic, some Doctor Who Series 12 news, and more!
