Just Sarah: More Than Fifty Years of a Doctor Who Companion PRE-ORDER 

On 15th December 1973, Sarah Jane Smith joined the Doctor on his travels and became one of the most loved companions throughout its initial twenty-six-year run. In 2006, she returned to Doctor Who, which led to her own spin-off series, The Sarah Jane Adventures – the most successful show on CBBC.

Half a century on from The Time Warrior, this essay collection celebrates not just this cherished character but also the remarkable person who played her, as well as those lives she touched.

Just Sarah: More Than Fifty Years of a Doctor Who Companion includes a guide to Sarah’s travels in the TARDIS and beyond; examinations of her relationship with the Doctor; a look at the horror tropes in tales like Planet of Evil and The Brain of Morbius; recollections of Sladen’s other roles (often for Third Doctor producer, Barry Letts); warm memories from
artists, Colin Howard and Martin Geraghty; and much more.

Plus, of course, why she’s not Sarah Jane Smith – she is just Sarah.

28/10/25: Editor Philip Bates has recently completed Just Sarah and submitted the book to Candy Jar. Meanwhile, editing is underway on the Doctor Who Christmas Specials book. Once completed, we'll move on to proofreading, and we'll start Just Sarah. Both titles will be sent to the printers as soon as they're ready.

As for When I Say Run, Run!, the manuscript is still being written, but we expect to receive it shortly. Finally, Exterminart! is currently at the printing stage, and we’ll begin dispatching copies as soon as they arrive.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your continued support!
