Sarah Jane Adventures – Jo Grant Returns
The Sarah Jane Adventures – Jo Grant Returns
Jo Grant – or should that be Jo Jones has made a triumphant return In the Sarah Jane Adventures story Death of the Doctor – and there were plenty of references to past stories.
We wont say any more just now in case you haven’t seen it yet and there will be a special Mr Smith quiz on this story. There is also a brief history of Jo Grant on our website Blog.
A special “Jo Jones” section has been added along with screenshots from The Vault of Secrets to our gallery pages Here. You can also find Katy Manning’s official website which contains lots of useful information Here.

October 27th, 2010 - 10:18pmOh my, that was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I would even go as far as saying that the ‘Death of the Doctor’ episodes were the finest I’ve ever seen from the SJA to date! And the fact that Russell T Davies managed to tie up fifty years of canon in under two minutes is pure genius! And Katy Manning is truly lovely as Jo and with all those flashbacks – I am still yet to get out of my nostalgic haze! Also congrats’ to Sam Watts for a beautiful score <3

October 27th, 2010 - 2:54pmI enjoyed all the references and flashbacks, the episode was exciting and much darker, emotional and intense than most stories. I also enjoyed the foreshadowing of the Doctos death in Series Six.

and as for jo well, she was simply brilliant!1 she’s my favourite classic companion and i was so glad to see her back.

October 27th, 2010 - 9:49amIm sorry has Russel T Davies really got no imagination, more talking earth animals! the judoon and now these silly freaks, looked like obvious emu puppets, come on! why is there this ridiculous thing going on where the producers think all aliens are just earth inhabitants slighlty modified, couldnt they create something, CGI? Latex? Asda halloween mask?

The Pandorica
October 26th, 2010 - 8:35pmThe Doctor wasn’t in this much. Anyway, I really liked this. I was really happy Captain Karim died because she was evil and it shows SJA is getting darker and it is toughening up. Great!

October 26th, 2010 - 7:31pmI wou;d have liked it if the funeral holders were somin like old companions as a joke and then they turn out to be creatures that have taken over there bodys but they werent but it was still the best story yet it seems to me that all the best eps of SJA always have some refrence to the dr or tim travel

Extermineron
October 26th, 2010 - 4:53pmThis waz great!
The only rubbish part were those stupid shansheeth vultures. They are rubbish. There could have been judoon, slitheen or sontarans instead of these.
Jo waz great and so waz Sj

third doctor
October 26th, 2010 - 12:51pmRussel T Davies brought that story to life. All the impact of the doctor and his companions how they feel about each other. It was sad that jo never got to see the doctor again and sarah did. but with katy manning and elisabeth sladen the did this story brillant well done to them.

October 26th, 2010 - 11:27amMy family and I sat down to watch this and really enjoyed it, ( I do remember jo grant first time round with the 3rd doctor). The only thing spoiling it was the clumsy looking vultures. Still part 2 to go though.

October 26th, 2010 - 8:46amTHIS WAS A BRILLIANT EPISODE, I THINK IN PART 2 SARAH JANE AND JO OVERLOAD THE MEMORY WEAVE (THING ON THEIR HEADS) AND THE DOCTOR SOMEHOW RESCUES CLYDE AND HIMSELF FROM THE WIERD RED PLACE AND DISMANTLES THE BOMB THING
Juddon Platoon
October 26th, 2010 - 8:45amJo and Sarah Jane make a great team and I’m going to watch it again

October 25th, 2010 - 9:29pmIt was great found the vultures a bit strange, i think they are something else
Simon
October 25th, 2010 - 9:25pmShe was really good, almost as if she had never been away. I hope this isn’t the last we see of her.
