Frank, I don't think they ever explicitly said that Sarah Jane's feelings for the Doctor were more than platonic friendship back in the day. But it felt absolutely true to the character in "School Reunion" that she'd never married thanks to having met him.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

If BBC still has the rights, you'd think it would be a natural for them on BBCA.
BBCA is only tangentially part of the BBC - it's part of BBC Worldwide. (I could go into detail about the relationship between BBC, BBC Worldwide, and Discovery, but then everyone in this thread would fall asleep. Suffice to say, it's complicated.)
Anyway, the short version is that BBCA has to pay for everything that airs on their network, and they don't necessarily get first dibs or a better deal on BBC content than other American broadcasters. (Which is why SciFi had Who first, and why BBCA also airs non-Beeb shows like Footballers Wives.)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Shir, there's also the Sarah Jane Adventures for texture.
Yeah, but she didn't really interested me, as a character.

I always was rooting for the Daleks to kill Sarah Jane. My god, the shrieking. Or for Leela to show up and slap her.
Or Ace to do it.
Mmm, Leela.

Even cheaper at Best Buy. Now on backorder, I see. I am so very tempted, but it's not a necessity right now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think it's a really well done first season (they haven't aired past that in the States, and I never got around to acquiring it), and for one that's targeted at the youngest demographic still managed to work up a decent sense of peril.
And I always like seeing good parenting on TV. Parents saving the world--cool.

Last week's Sarah Jane, the "Mona Lisa" serial, was pretty camp. I'm worried that it's commenced with the shark-jumping.
