Connections to Doctor Who [change]
The series features many connections to Doctor Who. The Slitheen family, who first appeared in the Doctor Who episode "Aliens of London" appeared in two stories in the first series, and the Sontarans, who first appeared in the Doctor Who story The Time Warrior featured in two stories in the Second series. Doctor Who had also used ideas from The Sarah Jane Adventures.
