monkeys and ponies

For what it's worth, from what little I've seen,it looks like the BBC's "Sarah Jane Adventures" may attempt to do a partial retcon (very partial) of Big Finish's "Sarah Jane Smith" into continuity, in which case, sitting around is not precisely what she's been doing. (They can't do a complete retcon, in part because they're using children, and in part because fandom would never ever forgive them for using the complete story.)

And I can sort of see the Doctor being a really hard act to follow.
