Sarah Jane Adventures Series 4 Preview

'SJA' execs: 'Jo return more than cameo'

Katy Manning will reprise the role of Jo in an upcoming two-part story titled 'Death of the Doctor'.

Davies told Doctor Who Magazine: "There's no fleeting cameo stuff, it's all full-blooded, with lots to say about Jo's life since we last saw her. I'm glad it's a big, proper meeting."

He confirmed that he had always planned to feature Jo in a large role.

"I love that moment in The Avengers when Tara King and Emma Peel pass on the stars, but a couple of lines wouldn't be enough for Jo and Sarah Jane. I wanted more!"

Producer Brian Minchin added: "[Jo] doesn't just turn up and talk about the old days. She's there with her grandson Santiago and they're thrown into the middle of a proper adventure."

The Sarah Jane Adventures will return to BBC One in October.

Russell T Davies On Jo Grant’s Return In The Sarah Jane Adventures

Jo Grant, played by Katy Manning, makes a return to the Whoniverse in a new story of The Sarah Jane Adventures, written by Russell T Davies. In the next issue of SFX, on sale next Wednesday.

“For the first time ever, I went and watched old stuff,” Russell T Davies confesses. “We used to bring back monsters and I didn’t actually go and watch the old tapes, partly because I think the way you remember them is just as powerful as what they actually were. But I did go back and watch the end of ‘The Green Death’ [Jo Grant’s final story]. And I think it’s really important to preserve the absolute beauty of what [producer] Barry Letts and [script editor] Terrance Dicks did there.”
