RANI: You know what I think? I think it's not over, because I don't think she's dead. I really don't. That's not just me being mad, cos I honestly think in my heart and soul that he came back for her. Right at the end, the Doctor came back for his Sarah Jane, and he said, shall we go? Out into the stars? One last trip? And she said, oh yes please. And I think they're out there now, Sarah Jane and the Doctor in the TARDIS, travelling through space and time forever, in a story that never ends.

— Rani Chandra, Farewell, Sarah Jane

Transcript

[Sound booth]

JACOB DUDMAN: It was a lovely service, and everyone came. Luke, Clyde and Rani looked around the room. So many people. It was a bright cold spring day, sunlight shining through the tall windows of the reception room, and the guests sat on chairs and on the floor, and in the corridor and outside on the lawn, all smiling. All sad. All gathered to remember Sarah Jane.

JACOB DUDMAN: Luke said hello to the soldiers from UNIT, and the Brigadier's daughter gave him the biggest hug.

JACOB DUDMAN: Clyde chatted with a nice couple from Australia, Tegan and Nyssa, and then Ben and Polly, who'd come from India, then Ian and Barbara from Cambridge, and then Martha and Mickey with their son August. A woman called Dodo said hello, and so did Doctor Holloway, and Liz Shaw, and someone called Victoria, and Sky manifested briefly in her human form. Captain Jack stood at a distance and saluted, and then turned away. Maria and her dad smiled down from a video screen. They'd missed their plane - too busy chasing a Bandril through Seattle - but they laughed and joked with everyone, and then Maria cried and her father hugged her.

JACOB DUDMAN: But Rani stood back. She was polite and smiling. She watched everyone and everything, but Rani didn't say much at all. Once the wonderful speeches and glorious songs were done, everyone broke up into little groups.
