Sarah Jane and Jo Grant

There is big news in the WHOniverse -- the DOCTOR WHO universe.

The new series (the second with Matt Smith) has been green lighted for next year.

There WILL be a new TORCHWOOD series (darker and "more American").

And, over at the SARAH JANE ADVENTURES series, two 1970s WHO companions will team up for the first time: Sarah Jane and Jo Grant. This is very big news if you are of a certain age (i.e., if you grew up watching the show at that time).
