In April this year a great loss occurred in the Doctor Who community with the death of Elisabeth Sladen, perhaps better known as Sarah Jane Smith, companion to the Third and Fourth Doctors.

It was a loss so sudden, so unexpected, and revealed what a private person Elisabeth was. It is only now courtesy of her autobiography we are finding out more about this extraordinary woman.

The DWP Team pay tribute to Lis by talking about her time on Doctor Who, her work in the Sarah Jane Adventures, her foray into the world of Big Finish and other spin off media.

Spend some time with Sarah Jane this week.

A quick glance at the Wikipedia entry for Joe Lidster will show that he knows his Doctor Who and related spinoffs.

He has written for Big Finish, Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures, as well as the Bernice Summerfield ranges. When he isn’t writing for them he is producing short stories on, you guessed it, Doctor Who.

This incredibly talented and busy man sat down with ourJames recently to talk all things Doctor Who.

I am sure you will find this a fascinating interview.

Storm in a very large teacup

The DWP couldn’t let the recent BFI screening of the Sarah Jane Adventures story Death of the Doctor pass without comment. The media frenzy and associated fan reaction to the revelations in this episode need to be discussed, clarified and explained. Delve within to find out what the fuss is about.

Yes, stuff has happened in the Doctor Who world that doesn’t involve Matt Smith!

We have ignored the news over the past few months or so whilst we concentrated on Season 5, so we rectify that with this episode.

We bring you all the news thats fit to print, from the worlds of Sarah Jane Smith, Torchwood, Big Finish and a little show called Doctor Who.
