The Doctor Who News Page is delighted to be able to confirm the return of a

popular and much-loved character from the classic series of Doctor Who. The

character appeared in many classic series stories, and will be seen in a

two-part story in the next series of spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures,

starring Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith.

 

The returning character is Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, played

by Nicholas Courtney. The character - who for much of the classic series

was the commanding officer of the UK branch of UNIT, and one of the

Doctor's closest allies - first appeared in 1968 opposite the Second

Doctor, and went on to appear in stories with the Third, Fourth, Fifth and

Seventh.

 

Courtney has also played the Brigadier opposite the Sixth and Eighth

Doctors in officially-licensed audio dramas from Big Finish Productions.

 

The same Sarah Jane Adventures story will also apparently see the return of

the Sontarans, seen in several classic series stories and more recently in

series four of Doctor Who.

 

Samantha Bond is also believed to be returning as Mrs Wormwood, the

character she played in the pilot episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures.

ooo wonder when this will begin..

Yep.

Is it wrong to be very excited by the new series, I love Sarah Jane and the actress who plays her really acts well and her appearence in DW finale was brilliant
