'''''Death of the Doctor''''' was the third serial of [[Series 4 (SJA)|series 4]] of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. It was written by [[Russell T Davies|Russell T. Davies]] and directed by [[Ashley Way]]. It featured [[Elisabeth Sladen]] as [[Sarah Jane Smith]], [[Daniel Anthony]] as [[Clyde Langer]], [[Anjli Mohindra]] as [[Rani Chandra]], [[Alexander Armstrong]] as [[Mr Smith]], [[Katy Manning]] as [[Jo Jones]], [[Finn Jones]] as [[Santiago Jones]] and [[Matt Smith]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]].
'''''Death of the Doctor''''' was the third serial of [[Series 4 (SJA)|series 4]] of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. It was written by [[Russell T Davies|Russell T. Davies]] and directed by [[Ashley Way]]. It featured guest appearances by [[Katy Manning]] as [[Jo Jones]] and [[Matt Smith]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]], as part of a second [[crossover]] episode with ''[[Doctor Who]]''.


It contained the only televised meeting between classic-era companions Sarah Jane and [[Jo Grant]], and the first televised appearance of Jo since ''[[The Green Death (TV story)|The Green Death]]''. It also contained the only appearance of the [[Eleventh Doctor]] on ''SJA'', apart from a minor appearance in [[The Man Who Never Was (TV story)|The Man Who Never Was]] during the ending ‘flashback’ scene.
It contained the only televised meeting between classic-era companions Sarah Jane and [[Jo Grant]], and the first televised appearance of Jo since ''[[The Green Death (TV story)|The Green Death]]'' in [[1973 (releases)|1973]].  


It was also narratively important for the changes it made to other stories. It added to ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' by stating that the [[Tenth Doctor]] had visited ''all'' his former [[companion]]s, not just the original-to-[[BBC Wales]] companions seen in that story. It established something not strongly asserted in [[season 11|Sarah's first season]]: the [[Third Doctor]] and members of [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] had vividly described Jo, such that Sarah was able to recognise her in ''this'' story without ever having met her before.
Behind the scenes, it was the only time that [[Russell T Davies]] wrote for the Eleventh Doctor for television, having completely turned over his production responsibilities to the programme the instant that [[David Tennant]]'s side of the [[regeneration]] sequence was completed in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''.
