Miracle on Bannerman Road (unproduced TV story)
Miracle on Bannerman Road was an unproduced 2010 Christmas special of The Sarah Jane Adventures. The story was based on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and would have seen Sarah Jane Smith being shown the past, present, and future of her life by a mysterious traveller. Fourth Doctor actor Tom Baker was briefly considered for this role, preceding his reappearance as the Curator in The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"] by three years.
The story would have also functioned as an alternative introduction to the character of Sky Smith, along with a different backstory for the character, with the Eleventh Doctor dropping off the baby Sky immediately before she transformed into a 14-year-old. The Eleventh Doctor's appearance in the story was written prior to the series 4 story Death of the Doctor [+]Loading...["Death of the Doctor (TV story)"], and would have depicted his and Sarah Jane's first meeting instead. The story was cancelled for various reasons, and the entrance of Sky into the Smith household was covered instead in one of the only stories completed for series 5, Sky [+]Loading...["Sky (TV story)"].
