079 Doctor Who (The Hand Of Fear)

Sarah meets a strangely charismatic woman called Ellie D. Radd.  Unfortunately, after three years of extreme living, Ellie’s cold handshake pushes Sarah over the edge and she no longer knows if she’s coming or going…or been.  She starts to think she’s the popular children’s character Andy Pandy, gets a bit violent and puts a severed hand in her lunch box.  The Doctor and Ellie get to her before she can gnaw off more than one finger.  She snaps out of it when Ellie explains that after 150 million years on an NHS waiting list, she’s finally got an appointment for the sex change she’s always wanted. Sarah and the Doctor give Ellie a lift to the surgery but afterwards, Ellie is crushed to discover that ‘she’ is now a Spanish man with a bad attitude and no neck.  So he decides to spend the rest of her life living in a hole and calling himself El Drad. Sarah sticks her tongue out and goes home. That was Sarah Jane Smith everybody, put your hand together and give her a difficult round of applause
