If there should be one lasting contribution to the Doctor Who universe from the Sarah Jane Adventures, it should be the cheerful and eminently watchable characters of Clyde Langer (Daniel Anthony) and Rani Chandra (Anjli Mohindra). They're so good that they deserve a move to the TARDIS. Either that or they should get a spin off series of their own. It certainly doesn't hurt that Rani's parents are very funny characters and could easily add to a Doctor Who episode, too. But, no offence intended, perhaps Luke and Sky should stay at Bannerman Road. As for Mr Smith... well, bless his silicon bits and bobs but what a terrible shame it is that he's embedded in that wall.
Mike has lived in the UK, Japan and the USA. Currently, he is based in Iowa with his wife and 2 young children. After working for many years as a writer and editor for a large corporation, he is now a freelancer. He has been fortunate enough to contribute to many books on Doctor Who over the last 20 years and is now concentrating on original sci-fi & fantasy short stories, with recent sales including Flame Tree, Uffda, and The Martian Wave. Also, look for his contribution on Blake's 7 to "You and Who Else", a charity anthology to be released later this year.
