The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 4 - Death of the Doctor Synopsis

The BBC Press Office has released the synopsis for the third story in the brand new series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, ‘Death of the Doctor’. The story will be broadcast in two parts on Monday 25th October 2010 and Tuesday 26th October 2010, both at the time of 5:15pm on BBC One.

PART 1 – When The Doctor is declared dead, old companions Sarah Jane and Jo Grant meet for the very first time and join forces to discover the truth. As an interstellar conspiracy gathers around Unit HQ, Clyde finds that he holds the fate of the Time Lord in his hand – quite literally!

PART 2 – Old friends fight together to make one last stand against the sinister Shansheeth. But with Clyde and Rani trapped and in terrible danger, Sarah Jane and Jo Grant realise their worst fears – their friendship with the Doctor might be the very thing that dooms them.

The Guardian Claims Doctor Who is Immortal

The Guardian has revealed that the third story in the new series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, ‘Death of the Doctor’, will change a fundamental part of the main show Doctor Who. This is the question about the Doctor’s regenerations, and how many times he can perform this amazing trick. This is the key part of the report:

“Fans have always thought that the 13th Doctor would be the last, thanks to a 1976 Doctor Who episode, The Deadly Assassin, featuring Tom Baker as the Doctor in his fourth incarnation, and revealing for the first time the regeneration limit. But a passing comment in a children's television programme later this month is set to rewrite history and cast the Doctor, iconic hero of the world's most successful and longest-running science fiction series, as immortal.

While the Doctor and Clyde Langer, played by Daniel Anthony, are in the process of outwitting spooky vulture undertakers the Shansheeth, Clyde asks how many times he can regenerate. The Doctor indicates that there is no limit. The action continues.”
