As Russell T Davies returns to Doctor Who<\/a> and plans the next iteration of spin-offs, he has been reflecting on one of his original creations, The Sarah Jane Adventures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In doing so, Davies recently recalled why Freema Agyeman, who was at one point set to appear in the show as her character Martha Jones having already crossed over with Torchwood<\/a>, was unable to appear in the series.<\/p>\n

Speaking with this month\u2019s issue of SFX Magazine<\/a>, Davies said: \u201cShe was going to be the companion who was in all the shows \u2013 she\u2019d cross over into Torchwood, then The Sarah Jane Adventures. Then Chris Chibnall<\/a> came along and offered her Law & Order: UK, and you can\u2019t argue with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

This meant that the scripts had to be re-written with Nicholas Courtney brought back as the Brigadier to fill Martha\u2019s role in the story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
