Sarah is indeed teh awesome. *g* Genesis...isn't bad, but it suffers the same problem a lot of the Who six parters did...it feels padded like crazy. Plus Terry Nation, creator of the Daleks, had that tendency in his stories...he very much wrote pulp serials, collections of adventurous events which often aren't so important to the plot.
Harry was a sweet guy, but generally superfluous. They invented him before Tom Baker was cast, not knowing if the new Doctor was going to be an athletic, action type...apparently they were thinking he might end up more First Doctor-like, more of an old man again, in which case they'd need an Ian Chesterton. (Dunno if you've seen any first Doc yet, but Ian is *awesome*.)
Who, SAJV Xover: Despite never having seen SAJV, this sounds great to me. *g*
Oh, and I've been meaning to ask you...how are you liking Anansi Boys?
