December 5th, 2012 - 9:11pmIs it worth getting this even though I don’t have the previous two?
Esterath
December 5th, 2012 - 9:26pmYes! Get it!
BOOBOO JR
December 5th, 2012 - 10:10pmOk, will keep an eye out. Thanks 🙂

December 5th, 2012 - 10:11pmI don’t have the previous two either BooBooJr, but I got this and it was really worth it.
BOOBOO JR
December 5th, 2012 - 10:15pmThanks Doctor Who Crazy Ross, I’ll look in WH Smith at the weekend. I’ll hopefully be able to find the new CB Micro-Figures somewhere too; fingers crossed!

November 30th, 2012 - 8:37pmwhy is it volume 3? is it vol 3 of the SJA companions or vol 3 of doc who specials?

November 9th, 2012 - 5:12amAm off to get this now and get a subscription to these magazines as I found out that the newsagents 4 houses away from me can order them in! Yayyy!
THE DOCTOR
August 31st, 2012 - 6:29pmi,ve got it,the final looked awesome,it had the trickster and sky had the tricksters face and they would have created a trickster tower to rule earth
and jo and santiago would return,as well as proffesor rivers and the shopkeeper,sky would destroy the trickster her father who had used a wormhole to get to her,sky would guard the trickster forever.really cool
Esterath
August 25th, 2012 - 8:31pmGot this today. Beautiful read. Rest In peace Lis. =(
the TARDIS
August 21st, 2012 - 3:29pmI went out to get this the day it came out. The features about all of the unmade stories are really interesting, although I was very dissapointed by the four-page feature for the Thirteenth Floor. The other episodes had really detailed plot summaries, but the thirteenth floor had practically nothing. And all because RTD wants to use the idea for an episode of Wizards vs Aliens. A brilliant mag apart from that, but they should appreciated that not all of the readership of DWM Special Editions will want to watch Wizards vs Aliens.

August 20th, 2012 - 8:40pmMay actually get this to find out what was planned for the other episodes…
Esterath
August 18th, 2012 - 5:16pmWas so excited getting this, looking forward to the ending of Series 5, then someone DWTV ruined it. Very disappointed now. =(
Black TARDIS
August 18th, 2012 - 9:05pmWell, then you shouldn’t look at spoiler sites if you do not want to know what happens
Mrwho63
August 18th, 2012 - 10:42pmIt’s alright. we’ve all seen spoilers we dont want to.
booboo
August 18th, 2012 - 10:43pmyes but people are putting them anywhere and everywhere without thinking which is making it impossible for people who want to avoid them
Esterath
August 18th, 2012 - 10:44pmWasn’t on a spoiler site. I was looking through the comments on the new Who teaser, then SJA popped up, then the special was mentioned and someone spoiled the stories… 😡
booboo
August 18th, 2012 - 10:48pmthat is a spoiler site, people post what they have read on there anywhere without thinking, get it in the merchandise all the time and it ruins things for people
Esterath
August 18th, 2012 - 10:50pmNo spoiler tag on the article.
Defender Of Universe
August 18th, 2012 - 4:10pmSo excited to get this, need to read it so bad! Does anyone know where I can buy this as i have looked in WHSmiths and they did not have it! Slighlty worried I wont be able to find it anywhere 🙁

Esterath
August 17th, 2012 - 10:18pmThere really should’ve been SJA magazine.=(
The silence
August 19th, 2012 - 6:35amWell don’t you want to know about the episodes that never were
Esterath
August 19th, 2012 - 8:43amNo, I do! Shame there was never a magazine when SJA when on. C’mon, Torchwood got one!
Mrwho63
August 19th, 2012 - 10:49amI always thought that too! It would have been on my list of things to by for the week.
It didnt even get a fanzine!
C@A
August 19th, 2012 - 11:36amOther merchandise for The Sarah Jane Adventures didn’t perform too well, such as the toys. Compared to Doctor Who Adventures, the market for an ongoing Sarah Jane Adventures magazine is much smaller, even if every child on here would want it as a magazine.
THE DOCTOR
August 31st, 2012 - 7:11pmi wish they did one sja monster,i wish there was a figure of the trickster.
maybe somelike booboo should email character online so they can do a trickster figure
booboo
August 31st, 2012 - 7:42pmdont think they would have the SJA license now
Annemarije
August 17th, 2012 - 12:43pmI think it’s sold out in my area. I can’t find it anywhere but I really want it

C@A
August 19th, 2012 - 11:45amWell, just as I wanted to drop Waterloo Road due to its hurrendously laughable quality of storytelling… looks like I have an incentive to keep watching.
Jonathan
August 17th, 2012 - 9:23amThe season finale sounded so good it’s a shame it never got made
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
August 18th, 2012 - 9:05amWhat was it about
Give me a Dalek any day
August 18th, 2012 - 9:10amI haven’t read about it yet but the title was “The Battle of Bannerman Road”
I suspect it should be good since it was, I assume, supposed to tie up the planned Series 5 story arc.
As I said, I’m not on that bit yet. I’m currently on “Meet Mr Smith” 🙂
The Time Lord of Doom
August 18th, 2012 - 10:05amGive me A Dalek Any day, now I want this! Is it good? I suppose it has lots of info on the unfilmed episodes of Series 5? 🙂
Give me a Dalek any day
August 18th, 2012 - 10:50amYes, it covers the first three stories of Series 5 (Sky, The Curse of Clyde Langer and The Man Who Never Was) which give you an insight into the making of the story and other behind the scenes stuff. Then, it covers the three unmade stories for Series 5 (Meet Mr Smith, The Thirteenth Floor and The Battle of Bannerman Road) which give you an insight into what the story was going to be about etc. There’s a whole lot more inside as well including the unmade stories for Series 4! 😀
tom
August 18th, 2012 - 10:54ami never buy the specials of DWM but now i really want to. it’ll be odd buying only this one since they made like 14 other specials since 2005
tom
August 18th, 2012 - 11:00ami might just read it in the shop
tom
August 18th, 2012 - 1:07pmgot it today, its ok but shame threy didnt make the rest of the episodes & since when were they thinking of making an Xmas special, a live halloween special, an animated halloween special & a series 6.
Give me a Dalek any day
August 18th, 2012 - 1:49pmThey weren’t. If you read on, you’ll discover the Halloween specials were originally dropped in favour of the animated one. The Christmas special was only an orignal idea, which was of course dropped.
Dinosaurs on a spaceship
August 18th, 2012 - 2:16pmThey were thinking to do all that!!
The Time Lord of Doom
August 18th, 2012 - 3:21pmI want this now! How much is it?
Give me a Dalek any day
August 18th, 2012 - 3:28pm£4.99
Give me a Dalek any day
August 18th, 2012 - 3:46pmNo, Dinosaurs on a spaceship, some of these ideas were also for Series 4.

August 16th, 2012 - 10:29amToday
Jackwho?
August 15th, 2012 - 8:55pmShame this does not match the other 2 covers. I cannot wait to hear about the lost story ideas. I cannot wait to purchase a copy and check it out. 🙂
gary
August 15th, 2012 - 9:21pmThe other two covers didn’t really match each other really did they?
Jackwho?
August 16th, 2012 - 9:23pmPurchased a copy today on release date and am overly impressed. It is good to see the Sarah Jane that never was. A recommended purchase! 😉
Doom Dalek
August 15th, 2012 - 8:41pmGot This Today
moxx of who
August 15th, 2012 - 8:20pmlove the cover. Hope they make that a poster!
the TARDIS
August 15th, 2012 - 5:46pmWhen is this out? I really can’t wait to buy this, I loved the Sarah Jane Adventures and still think Sarah Jane is the best companion to the Doctor. This special edition will, hopefully, do them both justice.
oscarwho
August 15th, 2012 - 5:36pmwhen is it out because the cover is cool
the TARDIS
August 15th, 2012 - 4:41pmWhen’s this out? I can’t wait to buy this, it should be a brilliant way of celebrating Elisabeth Sladens life and sending off SJA. Lets hope it does them both justice.
Esterath
August 15th, 2012 - 4:28pmWhen is this it andwould this be in Tesco?

August 15th, 2012 - 4:54pmTommorow, and probably not but give it a shot, you never know.

August 15th, 2012 - 4:13pmAs a subscriber I received this today…It’s AMAZING
Alex The Geek
August 15th, 2012 - 5:08pmWill you be willing to say anything about the unmade stories? (I’m not going to be able to get my copy for a while but I really want to know)
TARDISode22
August 15th, 2012 - 1:49pmwhere can i buy this?
booboo
August 15th, 2012 - 1:50pmWH smiths might have it
Bryan Simcott
August 15th, 2012 - 1:32pmWOW!
This arrived this morning (subs copy) and I am amazed at the level of love and care and detail that has gone into making this a fine and fitting tribute to Elizabeth Sladen and the whole team on SJA
I skipped the first three stories (will catch up later) and am reading Part one and two of one of the missing stories.
There are full storylines and the usual connections and background ,on three full stories plus a bonuc section with the Lost adventures . A full list and synopsis for all the stories thought up, written up or just sketched up that never got made
plus all lavishly illustrated by the wonderful Adrian Salmon with many pieces of Artwork for each story.
Lovely lovely pice of work congrats to all involved and especialy mr Andrew Pixley
gary
August 15th, 2012 - 1:16pmSooo glad this has finally come out! Can’t wait to read about the unmade stories and am certainly looking forwards to reading the interview!!
booboo
August 15th, 2012 - 1:18pmjust read on a forum that there was going to be something major if its correct
Anonymous
August 15th, 2012 - 3:47pmWell it has been mentioned before that Ace was going to become involved in some way with the show. Perhaps that has some part in it.
Give me a Dalek any day
August 15th, 2012 - 1:14pmThis looks incredibly good! I hope to go out and pick it up tomorrow. 🙂
Dalek Jake
August 15th, 2012 - 1:13pmLooks good, the outline of the unmade stories should be really interesting. They should make Torchwood companions.
gary
August 15th, 2012 - 1:17pmI think the only reason they haven’t been made is because of Torchwood magazine.
