Despite her misgivings, Sarah Jane knows that she has a duty to investigate and, along with Clyde and Rani, decamps to UNIT's base at the foot of Mount Snowdon, where the Doctor's body is said to be lying in state. It's while visiting the chapel of rest inside the base that Sarah Jane finally crosses paths with the woman who preceded her in the TARDIS, the eternally blonde, Jo Grant.
It's a great re-introduction scene for Jo who, though obviously much older than when we last saw her, is still the same bubbly and slightly scatty character we fell in love with back in the early 1970s. Of course, bringing two eras of a show together is always a risk, but thankfully, this is more than just an empty exercise in fan fiction and it's a real testament to Russell T Davies' skill as a writer that he uses Jo's reappearance, not just as a chance to catch up with the former Miss Grant, but as a counterpoint to Sarah Jane's own life.
