Welcome to ‘The Works of Sarah Sutton’ page!
I’ve been writing reviews on my Amazon.co.uk. profile on many ‘Doctor Who’ stories and other TV shows; films and audio dramas that I’ve enjoyed. I’ve also enjoyed the non-‘Doctor Who’-related works of Sarah Sutton before and after he was well-known as Nyssa of Traken in the TV series.
As part of ‘The Nyssa Challenge’ page, this sub-page is where I will post DVD and CD reviews of the works of Sarah Sutton including ‘Alice Through The Looking Glass’; ‘The Moon Stallion’; ‘The Jarillion Mercy’; ‘TravelWise’; the ‘Soldiers of Love’ CD series; etc.
Please feel free to take part in the discussions on the works of Sarah Sutton and to comment on my reviews. I’d greatly value feedback on my reviews for these stories so long as it is positive and not too critical.
Click on the images on the left of each TV/audio production Sarah had done to access the review(s).
Enjoy!

Yes I am. I’m planning to review the series for December. I’ve got the ‘Timeslip’ TV series on DVD and I have the first box set with Sarah in it as a download by Big Finish. Hopefully by the time the second box set is out in June, I’ll get to review the ‘Timeslip’ series from beginning to end (both TV and audio). Looking forward to it.
Thanks for asking.
Tim. 🙂

Just to add to my comment above, I like the way this page has been constructed. It really represents how much of a fan you are of Sarah since you have included all of her non-DW works in it.
This actually brings me onto something regarding her that I think I should share with you. In a couple of DW fan forums, I saw comments of people claiming that Deborah Watling wrote in her autobiography Daddy’s Girl that she once attended a convention with Sarah and Lalla Ward and that the latter two badmouthed Matthew Waterhouse during it. I am not 100% sure if she actually wrote this as I have not read the book, but if it is then here are my thoughts. In the case of Ward, I am unsure and besides, she has been working with Matt at Big Finish in recent years she they may get on now. As for Sarah, I can safely say that this seems even less likely in case. Even if Deborah did write that in her book, there is much proof that Sarah got on alright with Matt both in the 80’s and to this day. There is also the phrase ‘Don’t believe everything you read’. She generally doesn’t sound like the kind of person that would badmouth any decent human being. What’s more, it seems weird that Deborah Watling wrote that she did this yet she has happily appeared in photographs with Sarah. However, I don’t think she should get any hate because I have heard her in interviews and she doesn’t sound like the kind of person that would lie about someone, not to mention that she’s dead and can’t speak for herself.
I’m sorry if I have gone on a bit, but I just thought this was worth mentioning. I am also anxious to hear your thoughts on this.

Hi ML.
Hmm. Thanks for sharing that with me. I’ve not read Debbie Watling’s ‘Daddy’s Little Girl’ autobiography yet to be sure on whether she said Sarah Sutton and Lalla Ward perhaps ‘bad mouthed’ Matthew Waterhouse. I don’t think that’s the sort of thing Sarah and Lalla would do and maybe it’s been taken out of context by the fans on the forums you mentioned in terms of what Debbie wrote in her autobiography. Also, it would have to depend on what year the convention took place as it may have taken place before Sarah and Lalla worked with Matthew again on the Big Finish audios. Also, Sarah and Lalla probably said things about Matthew in jest and had some affection towards him when saying such things in relation to working with him on ‘Doctor Who’. I can’t be sure and I would need to read Debbie’s autobiography to be certain. I don’t think it’s done maliciously on Debbie’s part whether she wrote it like that in her autobiography or not. I also don’t think it would have been done maliciously on Sarah and Lalla’s parts either. People take these things out of context and I wouldn’t want to judge Sarah, Lalla and Debbie harshly on what they’ve said and done regarding Matthew. I’ve met all four people concerned and they come across as very friendly people. There may be elements of truth in what was said between Sarah and Lalla at a convention and what Debbie wrote in her autobiography, but I can’t judge it too severely.
Hope you found my thoughts on the matter fair enough. Glad you like how I’ve put together ‘The Works of Sarah Sutton’ page.
Tim. 🙂
