DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE #369
Rejoin some old friends in the new Doctor Who Magazine!
This issue, Elisabeth Sladen chats about Sarah Jane Smith's return to Doctor Who for the first time since 1983...
"I've been in a perpetual state of surprise," says Elisabeth, "at how amazingly welcoming everyone has been; how aware of easing me back into the hierarchy. I mean this show is running so well; I think it's a very brave, very bold decision, really, to bring back a character who left 30 years ago. But it's an amazing script. Actually, it's so good that I thought, 'Am I up to this? Should I do it? But I just knew that they wanted the best for my character, as I did, and that's all that mattered..."
Also in this issue, DWM goes to the year Five Billion and Twenty-Three to go behind-the-scenes on New Earth, and a chat with the last human, Cassandra - Zoe Wanamaker!
