The Magical Moments of Sarah Jane Smith Quiz

Answer: Her face falls off

The companion is in fact an android made to look like Sarah ('The Android Invasion'). The Doctor realises this because she is wearing a scarf that the real Sarah left behind in a chase.

Answer: Harry

The poor zygon-Harry plummets pitchfork in hand off the upper level, and ends up flailing around on the bottom of the barn before dying, and then vanishing.

Answer: Oh stop whining, girl, you're useless

The Doctor figures that insulting Sarah and making sexist remarks is the best way to get her moving again. "That's the trouble with girls like you. You think you're tough, but when you're really up against it you've no guts at all." Needless to say, this incites her to prove him wrong, just as he intends.

Answer: Sutekh prevents it

Sarah in fact hits the explosives, and for a second we think she has succeeded. But in a magical moment of reverse-the-film special effect, the blast is absorbed back into the explosive device by Sutekh's sheer mental power. The rocket is finally destroyed when the Doctor distracts Sutekh's attention, causing him to lose his concentration and release the explosion.

Answer: A cybermat

This is in 'Revenge of the Cybermen'. Unfortunately, the cybermat's attack itself is not the most believable of moments. Elisabeth Sladen could have used some lessons from Graeme Garden (from 'The Goodies') on how to be convincingly attacked by an inanimate object.
Krynoid is the name of the carnivorous plant from 'The Seeds of Doom'. The giant maggots appear in 'The Green Death', which was from Jo's era not Sarah's. Despite this, throughout my childhood I 'remembered' the giant maggot cave from this story as one of those magical Sarah moments.

Answer: A plant's

The device is a compost machine in the home of the wonderfully mad botanist in 'The Seeds of Doom'.

Answer: Planet of Evil

As the BBC website points out, "The resolution to the cliffhanger at the beginning of episode four is a bit suspect, as the Doctor and Sarah were much further down the ejection 'tubes' when last seen in the third episode". Ah well, never mind.

Answer: Mars

And for some extra glory: if the trap is guarded by two Guardians, one programmed to deceive and one to tell the truth, and the Doctor asks of one "If I were to ask your fellow Guardian the question, which switch would he indicate?", would the Guardian point to the release switch or the death switch? You will have to watch 'Pyramids of Mars' to find out.

Answer: The Thal dome

One of the best things about this magnificent story is that the Thals are not represented as the hapless victims of an evil race, but as equal parties to the war that has devastated their planet. The scaffolding surrounds a rocket that the Thals later use to destroy the Kaled dome. Brave Sarah is leading her fellow captives in an escape when she falls.

Answer: Terror of the Zygons

Sarah is hypnotised by Hieronymous in 'The Masque of Mandragora', possessed by the Queen spider in 'Planet of the Spiders', and duplicated as an android in 'The Android Invasion'. But the zygons never get around to imitating her. Elisabeth Sladen plays quite a convincing bad guy, getting a calculating and somewhat enigmatic wide-eyed look on her face every time she tries to deceive the Doctor. We also see her like this in 'The Hand of Fear', where, brainwashed, she wanders around saying quietly "Eldrad *must* live".

Unfortunately, barring her reappearance in 'The Five Doctors', this story also brings Sarah's incredible adventures with the Doctor to a close.
