Sarah Jane Smith, Dwarfer: Yay or Nay?

[andraste]

Today I am plagued by a burning question: would Sarah Jane Smith watch
Red Dwarf? On the one hand, it might be a bit laddish for her. On the
other, you'd think it would be a bit laddish for me, and yet I love
it. And unlike serious science fiction, she wouldn't have to spend the whole
time criticizing it for being inaccurate. Believe it or not, the answer to
this question this is actually important for a fic *g*.

To further entertain me on a rather slow day at work, what TV shows do we
think the Doctor himself watches? I bet Two loves Farscape. One day
he will get around to going back in time and changing things so it gets a
fourth season.

I can definitely see Sarah Jane watching the earlier seasons, but I can't see her being hardcore fannish about the show (or anything, really - she doesn't strike me as a fangirl). I suspect that when the quality got a bit wobbly, she would have stopped being a regular watcher. I think she'd like smart, critical comedy in general, and could certainly overcome the weirdness of it with little effort!

I can't see that Nine would have watched much TV, but Ten would like domestic soapies (East Enders, Neighbours) for the ridiculous drama and weird dilemmas people get themselves into. Seven would watch spy movies and serious BBC miniseries and be really annoying by working out the ending within the first ten minutes, without sufficient on-screen evidence.
