Yes, that's important stuff about the way Sarah Jane takes over in episode 5, actually. She handles everything for as long as necessary, and only then gives in to the slumping-over-a-desk grief that I've mentioned in my write-up. It adds an important dimension to her character development which I'd forgotten about (it's actually quite a while now since I saw the story, since I've been busy with other things and have only just had time to do the write-up).

No, I haven't seen Curse yet. I wonder if it'll seem to me like an over-long, dull remake of Monster when I do? ;-)

And good point about The Three Doctors - I hadn't noticed that in the serials list.
