You can't help but love a show that keeps such track of its past actors. Clyde's reference to hearing about Jo's husband passing was inspired by the death of the actor who played him 50 years ago. (Stewart Bevan, dec. 2/2/22).
She is right; our time is fleeting. Blink, and it's over. The Doctor often remarks on how ridiculously short our lifespans are. To each other, our lives might seem long, but to a Time Lord, they may as well last only a year. It reminds me of Invincible, where Mark thought the insect species’ one-year lifespan was incredibly short, but the insect lady explained that, to her, it was a long time. Similarly, for us humans, eighty or ninety years feels like a long life. But to a Time Lord, it’s relatively short
I love how this one wasn't just a love letter to the classic series like the rest but doubled as same (and as a brief followup) to the Sarah Jane Adventures. Tremendous and underrated series, and I think it'd be fascinating to revisit those characters again now that they're grown up and now that RTD is running the franchise again
I'd willingly trade a decade of my life if it meant gaining a solid four or five seasons of a SJA reboot with Jo 😭😭 (as long as it isn't created exclusively for the purpose of left-leaning political pandering where they only include "diverse" characters in quantity yet never quality)
If anyone is using subtitles while watching this Jo doesn't say Oh Gad when talking to her Cliff at the end. She say "Oh cariad". It's literallly the Welsh word for love but it is far more than that. When you call someone cariad they are the one you love, your darling, your world.
Kind of hits a soft spot there, not just cause Stewart Bevan/Cliff is gone, but Katy and Stewart used to be a couple. It wasn't a long romance, but they remained close friends, so Katy's emotions were genuine there.
She's even more breathtaking when you meet her in person ❤ I've based the protagonist of my novel trilogy on her, as a sort of tribute in a way, for Katy is just too wonderfully amazing not to live on in some form or another.
I had the honor of meeting this glorious lady at my local convention, I remarked of Jon's Velvet Jackets and she shared how she was a part of the embroidery on them, I remarked on how Jon was my first Doctor and Katy, my first companion, and all through holding back the tears because of the memories, she is an amazing lady and gives the best hugs
It's really sad that Elisabeth Sladen already passed by the time this was shot for the box sets. BUT I love that Jo Grant came back!!! She is the coolest, next to Bill Potts, when it comes to dealing with the Master's shenanigans
This wasn't for the box sets, this was for the special 60th anniversary "Tales Of The TARDIS" episodes that were broadcast late last year - they bookended a showing of a pivotal episode of a particular era. This one was for "The Three Doctors".
@@BrianGeers"Rani Vs. The World" is another great option- it's one of three post-SJA audiobooks from around 2020. I believe another former companion is involved too, maybe Tegan? can't recall haha (not that it wasn't memorable... I just have a horrific drug-adled memory lol)
I stand by the idea that Sarah Jane vanished bc the Third Doctor came and picked her up and took her to Florana, right before he flew back and regenerated. They sat on the beach and watched the sun set one last time together, he knew her fate and a tear ran down his cheek and she said to him what he told her all those years ago; 'A tear, Doctor?'
I haven’t watched the original show yet and I found Jo endearing in the SJA but this? This really shows just how special that character is. Pairing her back up with Clyde was really inspired. ❤️
This made me cry in the best way. I've watched all the ones you've uploaded this evening, and you have made my day. This series is lovely, and it's exactly what I needed to find on my birthday.
Not sure if Manning could manage that these days. She can do audio, but that's a much less physically demanding thing. Not that I wouldn't love to see it. Auntie Iris is the GOAT.
So wonderful to see my favorite companion Jo again! Katy Manning is just as adorable as ever. And although I haven’t gotten around yet to watching The Sarah Jane Adventures, it’s nice to see Sarah Jane represented as well with Clyde. ❤️ I am sad though that Tom Baker is apparently not taking part in these. I assume it’s because of his advanced age? Also, Sarah Jane would probably be the companion for him to do the segment with, but alas we no longer have our dear Elizabeth Sladen anymore (or Mary Tamm as the first Romana, rest in peace to both lovely ladies), so perhaps that was another factor. As a second choice, it would have been nice for Tom to come in, and he can stay sitting in a chair the whole time, and bring in Louise Jameson as Leela. (As for Lalla Ward as the second Romana….well, she and Tom are ex-spouses, so that might be kinda awkward for them to do it.) Obviously Leela wouldn’t be dressing in the skimpy Amazonian clothing anymore, but I think she deserved a much better send-off than what she got in The Invasion Of Time. It’s not too late either for Tom Baker, or the people behind Tales Of The Tardis, to consider doing this. C’mon Tom, I’d love to see you and Louise do this segment. 😊🙏
In fact we still have Lalla Ward (Romana II & III) and Louise Jameson (Leela), and you can have two potential scenarios for a Tale in the series: 1) 4 (or The Curator, like ambiguously 6 may actually have been in the Vengeance On Varos episode) and he can revisit a story with either Leela or Romana (whether it be The Key To Time with Mary Tamm's incarnation or Shada (which REALLY isn't necessary but I mean I would be open to it just for the Bookend scenes between Lalla & Tom alone) or another Lalla-Romana story would work fine) and Leela can just wear some Gallifreyan robes like in the Collection: Season 15 minisode trailer, which could even take place shortly after that particular event) and having met her at a 2019 con, Lalla never seemed to feel awkward about talking about Tom with me and she loved that we talked of the 4 & Romana Prime Computer ads (which she seemed rather happy I chose to see as canon- a wonderful surprise) and The Leisure Hive fondly. 2) An original story (or adapting an abridged Big Finish one) told in animation with Four, Leela and Romana - you don't even have to have Tom participate but then again you could too.
Of course, if they brought Romana in, based on the Six and Seven episodes, that would also mean making another Time Lord be alive and out there. More reason to do it tho.
I loved All of the doctors and the companies and wished that I was one. Every time I watched it in way I was watching every episode would take me away to adventures I couldn't dream of. Thank you doctor 💕
This is the depth of character writing that we needed for a female Doctor. As an elderly Doctor, Katy would have been a brilliant combination of eccentricity, integrity and compassion.
@@JaceMorley Well, like Colin, it may give the character some room to evolve. The appearance was a ball and chain as much as the writing. She is a very likeable person when she isn't playing the Doctor - That comes over very easily. Pertwee was told to play the part as himself - his famously reported response was that he had no idea how to do that. It all worked out with some brilliant scripting and direction from Letts and Dicks and Holmes. We need writers of that calibre again. As for that awful costume that was cobbled together by a failed art student with an MCU fixation. The Doctor is not Ms Marvel! It was actually worse that the question mark motif!
@@ChaysieMcChayse if that UNIT spin-off ever happens we've got potentially a team led by Kate Stewart featuring Luke, Mel, Ace, Jo and many more past companions as regulars, recurring or guests.
@@hugoalynstephens9166 I definitely agree... We have a good roster so far.. I'd say if a UNIT spinoff happens, we can pretty much say that Teagan, Ace, Mel, and Donna would all be in it since it's confirmed they all work for UNIT now (Or atleast in Donna's case, was offered a job at UNIT.)
The Memory Tardis and getting the old companions into the studio is good an opportunity to waste... I do hope they are incorporated into the three specials
Tales of the TARDIS ep 4 - The Three Doctors -Daniel Anthony - Clyde -Katy Manning - Jo Grant Featuring: -Jon Pertwee - The Third Doctor -Stewart Bevan - Cliff Jones -Elisabeth Sladen - Sarah Jane Smith -Anjili Mohindra - Rani -Thomas Knight - Luke -Patrick Troughton - Second Doctor -Nicholas Courtney - Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart Clyde Langer, despite aging a bit since his adventures with Sarah Jane, still acts like his teenage self. And dear ol Jo Grant, despite losing her love, her friend, and her Doctor, still kept smiling.
@@ChaysieMcChayse No, but Clyde was a close friend of hers, and it would have made sense. And I'm sure Jo would have been interested to learn about Luke's little sister. 🙂
From what we do know,, in the future at least, via the flash-foward in the fixed timeline of 'The Mad Woman In The Attic,' Maria and Rani are friends and working together from time to time. Maybe Jo will have met Maria and Sky after this and it just needs a writer to make sure it happens in some medium out there in the Whoniverse.
@@hugoalynstephens9166 Of course, the very weird thing about this is that it is inconsistent with the aforementioned "Rani Takes on the World" series from Big Finish. This has Clyde making up his mind to pursue Rani romantically, but in the BF series, he's shacked up with a woman named Phoenix who's having his baby.
Jo takes what I believe is the blue sapphire that the Third Doctor took from Metebelis 3, the subsequent struggle for which led to his death and regeneration into the Fourth Doctor. She seems to recognize it, which is a little odd since she had left UNIT at that point.
More potential for additional stories rather than continuity cuffuffles. It's Doctor Who, no loose end can remain that way for too long if someone steps up with a story to tell.
I think the easiest way to explain this was that Sarah Jane and/or the Brigadier (who both witnessed the Third->Fourth regeneration) filled in Jo about that at some point later on.
Jo would easily recognise the sapphire for metebelis 3 as it was given to her as a wedding present at the end of the green death. It was in the Planet of the spiders that Jo would return it which would kick off the story and lead to the doctor's regeneration.
As he gave her the blue shimmering crystal, he asked her to save him a piece of wedding cake and as he sauntered off and drove away on Bessie into the sunset, the brigadier was the only one who knew where he went.
Maria's off fighting aliens on the other side of the pond. (And for the two people who care about Sky, she's still guarding the Trickster's prison at the bottom of that same ocean.)
"Sweet Sarah Jane." I love how the remember TARDIS lights up, the TARDIS loves all of the Doctors companions but the Doctor and the TARDIS will always have a soft spot for their girl.
Sonic Screwdrivers - Third Doctor, Fourth Doctor, Second Doctor (that little one that looks like a cigarette), Eleventh Doctor/Twelfth Doctor V1, Twelfth Doctor V2 and Thirteenth Doctor
The actor just looks really good for his age. Clyde's supposed to be like a decade older at this point and so is the actor: this was only shot like a year or two ago.
I'm so glad they acknowledged Jo wasn't in love with The Doctor. It honestly bugs me that everyone who encounters The Doctor needs to have their own little love story with them. So many of them were shoehorned in for unnecessary drama it got distracting. And Jo was so amazing here. Encouraging Clyde to tell Rani how she feels. It's so sweet and genuine, and the way she talked about Cliff made their relationship feel like less of the whirlwind romance it was back in The Green Death. Katy was absolutely amazing in this. Funny and clumsy as ever but with so much heart it bursts out of her sleeve. Jo Grant has been my overall favorite companion since I got into Classic Doctor Who and this highlighted all the elements that make her special to me. Katy Manning has the that same spark that Elizabeth Sladen has to reach out across generations and embrace you like you're family.
Honestly I still don’t get why they didn’t bring back Luke Clyde & Rani either during 11 or 12s tenure, to give us some closure with that cast & to Sarah Jane, it could’ve been a lovely way to honour Liz Sladen.
Fun fact though: the actress who plays Rani played the alien queen that was the main bad guy in the Nikola Tesla episode. In addition, the guy who played Graham was the main bad guy in Rani's first episode.
@@WarGrowlmon18 That’s a regular on Doctor Who, Bradley Walsh played the Pennywise character in Sarah Jane Adventures, Peter Capaldi played multiple characters before he played the Doctor.
I wish Elisabeth Sladen were still alive, and seeing these two in the TARDIS would have been much more memorable, however the mention of her name SJA suffices.
RTD made his unmade finale for Sarah-Jane Adventures canon in his Farewell Sarah-Jane internet short, she ended up becoming a celestial being after being uncovered as a ploy made by The Trickster
@@mrcritical6751 Yeah, the only reason that that wasn't seen in the show itself was because Elizabeth Sladen died before they could finish that season.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Jo's Doctor JON PERTWEE was always like a PROTECTOR ,,,,And a MORAL COMPASS.....& every time Katy (Jo) cries when she misses people from her past I can just imagine JON dressed as THE DOCTOR put his comforting arm around her shoulder and whispers affectionately & gently to her - 'Marroon-Marroon-Marroon' 😔❤🙏 (Paul R. Evans)
It's great seeing all these old friends come back again for a visit, and being treated with affection and respect. For me, this is a more satisfying season finale than the one they wrote for Gatwa (which has all the usual season-finale problems). Gatwa's a good performer, but the writing really hasn't done much for him this season--and every Who fan knows what THAT's like. The tone here is much more thoughtful, and the slower pace helps too.
I think luke should meet rose to talk about school reunion so luke knows what sarah jane did before she found him and rose getsbto grieve for losing sarah jane
@Joey15811 yeah but this memory tardis could be really power full to take out off her universe for a little bit it has taken people from different time spots and older versions of other doctors
I never thought Id see Clyde again, I remember as a kid watching SJA in potato quality videos split into 15 parts just cause they never made it to America
It would be so cool if in the new doctor who series if a older version of luke rings the doctor to ask him to return to unit as they need help the doctor returns has a reuion with luke and introuces him to his new companion luke invites him back to his house revealing that he shares a house with clyde and rani who are now a couple and has a reuion with cylde and rani they then at the end talk about sarah jane and tell his new companion what a amazing woman she was
Honestly if Elisabeth was still alive one more time. One last time she to have a talk with Tom Baker in this. 4th doctor and Sarah Jane. Poor Tom if his health was better.

In fact we still have Lalla Ward (Romana II & III) and Louise Jameson (Leela), and you can have two potential scenarios for a Tale in the series:
1) 4 (or The Curator, like ambiguously 6 may actually have been in the Vengeance On Varos episode) and he can revisit a story with either Leela or Romana (whether it be The Key To Time with Mary Tamm's incarnation or Shada (which REALLY isn't necessary but I mean I would be open to it just for the Bookend scenes between Lalla & Tom alone) or another Lalla-Romana story would work fine) and Leela can just wear some Gallifreyan robes like in the Collection: Season 15 minisode trailer, which could even take place shortly after that particular event) and having met her at a 2019 con, Lalla never seemed to feel awkward about talking about Tom with me and she loved that we talked of the 4 & Romana Prime Computer ads (which she seemed rather happy I chose to see as canon- a wonderful surprise) and The Leisure Hive fondly.
2) An original story (or adapting an abridged Big Finish one) told in animation with Four, Leela and Romana - you don't even have to have Tom participate but then again you could too.
Tom and Lalla have worked together since their divorce. Hey, if ABBA can do it...
Of course, if they brought Romana in, based on the Six and Seven episodes, that would also mean making another Time Lord be alive and out there. More reason to do it tho.

I know Sean Pertwee refuses to play the 3rd Doctor, but I wish he would have made an exception for this. It would have been wonderful.
It's nice that they mentioned Luke and Rani. But what about Maria Jackson?
Maria's off fighting aliens on the other side of the pond.
(And for the two people who care about Sky, she's still guarding the Trickster's prison at the bottom of that same ocean.)
What a thing it would have been to have Sarah Jane and the Brigadier together in one of these segments.
Probably telling The Ghosts Of N-Space or Downtime from 1995, if we were so lucky. I do miss them both.
@@hugoalynstephens9166 Or The Five Doctors.
@@dirdib69 Great Shout!
Tom Baker and Louise Jameson for The Robots Of Death next year?
“Don’t joke this away” wow
"Sweet Sarah Jane." I love how the remember TARDIS lights up, the TARDIS loves all of the Doctors companions but the Doctor and the TARDIS will always have a soft spot for their girl.
Feels like if the 11th doctor would have been suitable for these 2 to meet.

How has Clyde managed to not age a single day?
The actor just looks really good for his age. Clyde's supposed to be like a decade older at this point and so is the actor: this was only shot like a year or two ago.
I'm so glad they acknowledged Jo wasn't in love with The Doctor. It honestly bugs me that everyone who encounters The Doctor needs to have their own little love story with them. So many of them were shoehorned in for unnecessary drama it got distracting.
And Jo was so amazing here. Encouraging Clyde to tell Rani how she feels. It's so sweet and genuine, and the way she talked about Cliff made their relationship feel like less of the whirlwind romance it was back in The Green Death.
Katy was absolutely amazing in this. Funny and clumsy as ever but with so much heart it bursts out of her sleeve. Jo Grant has been my overall favorite companion since I got into Classic Doctor Who and this highlighted all the elements that make her special to me. Katy Manning has the that same spark that Elizabeth Sladen has to reach out across generations and embrace you like you're family.
Honestly I still don’t get why they didn’t bring back Luke Clyde & Rani either during 11 or 12s tenure, to give us some closure with that cast & to Sarah Jane, it could’ve been a lovely way to honour Liz Sladen.
I think the show did not acknowledge the death of Sarah Jane at the time, they decided not to kill the character with the death of Elizabeth Sladen.
Fun fact though: the actress who plays Rani played the alien queen that was the main bad guy in the Nikola Tesla episode. In addition, the guy who played Graham was the main bad guy in Rani's first episode.

That’s a regular on Doctor Who, Bradley Walsh played the Pennywise character in Sarah Jane Adventures, Peter Capaldi played multiple characters before he played the Doctor.
Honestly, one of the best companions. She kicked so much booty
I wish Elisabeth Sladen were still alive, and seeing these two in the TARDIS would have been much more memorable, however the mention of her name SJA suffices.
3:06 No mention of Maria Jackson or Sky Smith
RTD made his unmade finale for Sarah-Jane Adventures canon in his Farewell Sarah-Jane internet short, she ended up becoming a celestial being after being uncovered as a ploy made by The Trickster
@@mrcritical6751 Yeah, the only reason that that wasn't seen in the show itself was because Elizabeth Sladen died before they could finish that season.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Nice they added this :)
Awesome
CLYYYYDDDDDE!?
How on earth did he managed to sneak in the tardis and wearing a space helmet then throwing it to the side?
What nerve hmm.
Jo's Doctor JON PERTWEE was always like a PROTECTOR ,,,,And a MORAL COMPASS.....& every time Katy (Jo) cries when she misses people from her past I can just imagine JON dressed as THE DOCTOR put his comforting arm around her shoulder and whispers affectionately & gently to her - 'Marroon-Marroon-Marroon' 😔❤🙏 (Paul R. Evans)
The Metebelis crystal made me well up... 😥
... and the shadow broke the dam.
It's great seeing all these old friends come back again for a visit, and being treated with affection and respect. For me, this is a more satisfying season finale than the one they wrote for Gatwa (which has all the usual season-finale problems). Gatwa's a good performer, but the writing really hasn't done much for him this season--and every Who fan knows what THAT's like. The tone here is much more thoughtful, and the slower pace helps too.
Was it the 3rd doctor who appeared to jo at the end?
After seeing this, I think Clyde should run with the doctor at some point.
Clyde would be such a perfect fit for a companion.
I think luke should meet rose to talk about school reunion so luke knows what sarah jane did before she found him and rose getsbto grieve for losing sarah jane
Rose is in parallel world.
Luke should meet Benton or Yates
@Joey15811 yeah but this memory tardis could be really power full to take out off her universe for a little bit it has taken people from different time spots and older versions of other doctors
These shorts are better than anything since 2017.
i hope this means we’ll see peri (and who knows, maybe even 6) again in rtd2. i’d love to have them back
I never thought Id see Clyde again, I remember as a kid watching SJA in potato quality videos split into 15 parts just cause they never made it to America
It would be so cool if in the new doctor who series if a older version of luke rings the doctor to ask him to return to unit as they need help the doctor returns has a reuion with luke and introuces him to his new companion luke invites him back to his house revealing that he shares a house with clyde and rani who are now a couple and has a reuion with cylde and rani they then at the end talk about sarah jane and tell his new companion what a amazing woman she was
I think Clyde is from the Sarah Jane adventure series & yes, I remember ol' Jo Grant of the Jon Pertwee years. 🥰
I wish given his recent passing we could have seen Mike Yates one last time
Please do Leela next
If you ask me, a fully animated series of Doctor Who classic and perhaps some of the Big Finish stories would be FANTASTIC
Blimey she still got I wonder need to be in adventure
Why this feels so nice and familiar unlike last seasons? 😠
Its true the older we get the more people we miss. As we get older the world stops giving us things and starts talking them away..
They are all here ... Especially Sarah Jane ...
Honestly if Elisabeth was still alive one more time. One last time she to have a talk with Tom Baker in this. 4th doctor and Sarah Jane.
Poor Tom if his health was better.
i bawled so hard to this that my housemate thought i'd lost a family member lmao
Never knew Clyde loved Rani .
Is it a movie? Or episode?
Part of new short material for the Whoniverse launch online and lead up to 60th anniversary
@@Bondoz007 ok
Clyde was my favorite of the trio, perhaps because had the most issues.
It would be great for Tom Baker to make appearance in this video. Clyde meeting him would be awesome.
Katy Manning NEEDS, in some way, to get her own show or SOMETHING! She’s a TREASURE!
How does Daniel Anthony stop ageing like this, its unfair lol.
Anyone else notice the jukebox?
I feel like Jo and Seven would get on quite well.
Dont think Katy Manning can play Jo anymore... She has become Iris and shes brilliant as Iris.
So, just no mention of Maria or K9 then...
K9's probably still with Luke.
Jo? Josephine Grant?
Now that is how to tell clyde langer off hmm.
