The best Sarah jane story ever, It had some very good actors in it. It was the first episode with the Trickster and it was smashing wasn't it Sleep in Dragon. It had some very good scenes. I loved it when they went skateboarding right at the start and some great music at the start playing by the way. AND IT WAS WHEN Sarah Jane WAS KIND OF LOST on the Tricksters planet. He wears a good costume for me. And the decorating of him must of been hard. It's the best one in this series I suppose because I love and absolutely love the plot. And I have got Series 1-5 On DVD. I still think this one is one of the best, plot wise anyway. It is still a good one from when it was actually out. It inspired me as well to do a story. It has to monsters on it that makes their debut, The Trickster, and the Grask. Sarah Jane wasn't remembered except for Andrea Yates, Jane Asher, and Maria Jackson. I don't have the Stories and I wish I did. I did read the Eye of the Gorgon one in the Library at Battle on a school trip. And my cousin Tom said He saw Tom Baker before. It does well. When YASMIN PAGE, Maria in the story gets a box which I was a bit suspicious to see why Sarah Jane gave it to her. But then she says give it to the person you trust the most and it's you, and then she says it's probably best to not tell Luck about that bit. Because Luck is her adopted son. And after the Trickster went a way after Maria that night tried to open it, I thought It was some kind of warning that he would come back. He did but I was wrong when I first watched it. So it's not a very guessable story which is good.

This is such a clever episode, when the gang are out skating, Sarah feels uneasy, like somethings walked over her grave. The trickster appears (Doctor who Turn left.) A meteor is heading straight for Earth, and would destroy it if it wasn't dealt with, when in range Mr Smith would destroy it at Sarah's command. Sarah Jane gifts Maria a magic box, remember was the message. The Trickster gets to work, and all trace of Sarah Jane has gone, and Andrea is in her place. Everyone has forgotten her, even the pictures have gone, Luke too. Maria discovers too much and suffers the same fate. Now it's up to her dad, who has the box, the remember and find her. Maria has learned that back in 1964 Sarah was with Andrea, but an accident killed Andrea, Sarah Jane survived, and a Graske has transported Maria back to that time and place.
Lis Sladen looks so beautiful, she seriously defied her years. I love how they matched her glamour with Jane Asher's.
The Trickster is brilliantly conceived, a real Dr Who monster.
It is such a clever story, brilliantly written, better then some of the nu Who stories. Jane Asher is brilliant, I love her scene with the trickster in the mirror, it's fantastic. 10/10

Sarah Jane Who?

Review of Parts 1 & 2:
This story would be a great addition to any Doctor Who series, it is really excellent in every department.
Russell T. Davies and Gareth Roberts have written a superb plot and script which involve a sinister villain 'The Trickster' and an alien device causing a mysterious situation with Maria waking up and finding that she is the only one who can remember Sarah Jane or Luke. It is gripping, hugely intriguing, dark, clever and by the end very touching. The quality of the ideas and the dialogue is really superb and it is matched by the great acting by the whole cast and direction by Graeme Harper.
The Trickster is as scary as any Doctor Who monster, properly creepy, chilling and menacing with a great design which was possibly rather influential on Steven Moffatt's designs of several future monsters. The concept of what he does and the thought provoking strength of the plot as it revealed are terrific. We get great mystery at the start and great, moving drama by the end.
Jane Asher is great as Andrea while the regular cast are all on absolute top form.The Graske is a fun addition for young viewers but is probably my least favourite aspect of the production. The make up, effects and all other elements are very good.
This adventure is fantastic.
My ratings: Parts 1 & 2 - 9.5/10.

Review of both parts -
I ABSOLUTELY BLOODY LOVE THIS EPISODE SO MUCH TO DEATH! This should've best the finale of Season 1, probably the darkest episode, the Trickster is bloody great! He gives off that grimacing vibes like what if the Doctor didn't ever existed in the universe? Just imagine that, it would be total chaos, damn. THIS IS JUST FANTASTIC!
10/10
