Girls' Night In (short story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Summary
After reading one of Sarah Jane Smith's books, Jo gets in touch with her and discovers they both knew the Doctor. Together they place a small ad in Time Out magazine – If you know what TARDIS means, call this number – to attract the attention of former companions. With Liz Shaw and a less positive Tegan, they wallow in nostalgia with good wine and the company of friends. They reflect that after their travels with the Doctor, they never found another man to live up to the memory. There is a knock on the door – Ace joins them.

Continuity
- Sarah Jane and Tegan previously met in the Tomb of Rassilon on Gallifrey. (DW: The Five Doctors)
- This story carries on the idea that Sarah Jane turned her adventures with the Doctor into a series of novels, something picked up on in VD: Moving On. This, however, was never mentioned in the Big Finish Sarah Jane Smith audio series, DW: School Reunion or The Sarah Jane Adventures.
- This story and SJA: Death of the Doctor feature conflicting accounts of first meetings between Jo Grant and Sarah Jane Smith. Perhaps the Time War changed events so that those of Girls' Night In never happened and Death of the Doctor was Jo and Sarah's first true meeting?
Timeline
- Girls' Night In is set at some unspecified point after DW: Survival. However, this story may now be classed as imaginary – i.e. never happened (see Continuity above).
