Meet Mr Smith (unproduced TV story)

✅

Meet Mr Smith was to have been the fourth story of Series 5 of The Sarah Jane Adventures. However, due to the death of Elisabeth Sladen in April 2011, only half of the series was filmed, resulting in The Man Who Never Was being the final story of the series.

It was planned to be written by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman, who together wrote Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith (the sixth and final story of Series 4 of The Sarah Jane Adventures).

Synopsis
While the gang are together in the attic, an alien called Ozmo secretly releases a mutagen bomb in Sarah Jane's attic which suddenly turns Mr Smith into a human who wears a bowler hat and a pin-stripped city gent suit, looking reminiscent of John Steed. Mr Smith embraces his newfound humanity by referring to himself as "Smithy" and is very eager to explore in his new form. This leads to him experiencing human life and eventually developing a romance with Carla Langer. However, he is forced to secretly do work for Ozmo which involves stealing valuables as Ozmo blackmails him with stabilising shots that maintain his human form.
