There, at the age of 20, he met aliens, including the Shansheeth and Groske, for the first time. He quickly made friends with Rani (to which he was sexually attracted to) and Clyde and witnessed a plot by the Shansheeth and Colonel Tia Karim to steal the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS by making a key from the memories of his grandmother and Sarah Jane Smith. Santiago was advised to make some changes in his relationship with his parents.

Behind the scenes

  • Santiago is one of the few grandchildren of companions to have been portrayed, along with Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, Donna Noble, Steven Carter, Ryan Sinclair (through marriage) and (to the extent that Brian Williams is considered a de facto companion or "companion presumptive") River Song. He, River Song, Donna Noble, Ryan Sinclair and Susan Foreman are the only known characters whose selves and grandparent have both travelled in the Doctor's TARDIS; he was the first character to have travelled with their grandparent in the TARDIS since the First Doctor's granddaughter, Susan Foreman, in 1965 (2165 in-universe) until Ryan Sinclair and Graham O'Brien with the Thirteenth Doctor.
  • Plans were underway for Santiago to return to the screen in the Sarah Jane Adventures Series 5 story The Battle for Bannerman Road, but the passing of Elisabeth Sladen resulted in the story being scrapped.
  • In Sarah Jane Adventures Season 4 "The Death of the Doctor", you can see his underwear band is visible (aka sagging), clearly showing him as a rebellious youth - in the scene where Sarah and Jo are remembering the Doctor, and the kids go to make tea. Furthermore, throughout the two-part episode, his eyes are bloodshot, suggesting Santiago was under the influence of drugs, likely marijuana. This would fit in with the hippy-esque lifestyle he described he had growing up.
  • Santiago and his relative Rio de Janeiro are both named after cities in South America.
