Can any fellow Who fans help me out...?
Was Sarah Jane a freelance journalist, or did she work for a paper/magazine?
I always assumed she was a freelancer, but I have a hazy recollection she said in one story (possibly 'Robot'?) that she was attached to a magazine.

I believe it was for a magazine called Metropolitan, but that's just from memory, I haven't checked and maybe wrong.
In her SJA days she was always a freelance journalist. She did run into a former colleague on her last SJA, he was either Editor or Food & Drink correspondent from memory. and played by Peter Bowles.
Isn't it mentioned in K9 & Company that she's been working for Reuters?
I was pretty sure she was freelance - agree with the comment above about 3 years travelling the universe being one heck of a leave of absence from any employer!

according to this - she was employed by Metropolitan around the Pertwee era but resigned at some point. As you say she was away for quite some time.
Yes, Peter Bowles is a great actor. Loved To The Manor Born. Ponelope Keith is excellent.
I remember seeing Peter in the 1970s version of Survivors. I've got the box set of that on DVD. I believe he was only in a few episodes, cos he caught the virus that was sweeping through Britain, and then died.
