Sanjay (Death of the Doctor): Difference between revisions

'''Sanjay''' was [[Luke Smith]]'s husband.

Early on, Luke described Sanjay as "the best mate I've ever had all my life." He was down the hall from Luke at [[Oxford University]]. Luke said they clicked straight away; "He's smart, he's cool, he keeps making me laugh." [[Clyde Langer]] was jealous upon hearing of his new competitor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor (TV story)|Death of the Doctor]]'') Sanjay studied [[biology]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor (novelisation)|Death of the Doctor]]'')

At some point the two made a bet that [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah Jane]] would ask if they'd finished their work — two thousand words on [[pendulum physics]] — before going out for a [[burger]] with everyone else. Sanjay therefore owed Luke five [[Pound Sterling|pounds]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor (TV story)|Death of the Doctor]]'') Luke later had to end a conversation with Sarah Jane and [[Rani Chandra]] in [[Ealing]] because he'd promised to meet Sanjay at the [[Oxford Union Society|Union]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)|Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith]]'')

By the time Sarah Jane died, having told Luke that Sanjay was "looking at [him] in that way", the twosome had been married for five years. ([[WC]]: ''[[Farewell, Sarah Jane (webcast)|Farewell, Sarah Jane]]'')

While the ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' was still in production, the plan was that Luke would have come out as [[gay]] and Sanjay would have been his boyfriend. Sadly this never came to pass on television, due to [[Elisabeth Sladen]]'s passing.<ref>[[DCOM]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor (TV story)|Death of the Doctor]]''</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hypable.com/2013/07/05/russell-t-davies-dishes-on-the-doctor-who-spin-off-the-sarah-jane-adventures/|title=Russell T.

The plan did eventually come to pass in the webcast ''[[Farewell, Sarah Jane (webcast)|Farewell, Sarah Jane]],'' penned by Davies, in which it is revealed that Luke and Sanjay married.
