Meet Mr Smith is an unproduced story by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman and was intended to be the antepenultimate story of what turned out to be final SJA season, a production that was precluded by Lis Sladen’s passing. While Meet Mr Smith did not get made DWM presented what the story would have looked like when it published the first drafts of the scripts for the two-part story in The Sarah Jane Companion Volume 3.
Part 1: When a sphere latched onto Mr Smith he gets turned into a human being. Had this been made Mr Smith voice actor Alexander Armstrong would have appeared on-screen as the human Mr Smith. The remarkable development of this script was that it had the human Mr Smith romancing Clyde’s mother Carla much of course to the displeasure of Clyde. The human Mr Smith would have been made to look like John Steed of The Avengers and Armstrong does not look dissimilar to TV series Steed Patrick Macnee and movie Steed Ralph Fiennes. The character Ozmo makes for a good adversary and not a bad cliffhanger of Sarah Jane being locked up in a vault with Ozmo spelling doom for planet Earth.

Part 2: A very good conclusion to the story. It is probably guess at already but Smithy does eventually turned back into Mr Smith. This was done in the process of beating Ozmo and what a punishment that Ozmo got as a result of being defeated and his plans for Earth foiled. Unfortunately Smithy turning back into Mr Smith was done at the potential happiness for Clyde’s mother Carla especially since the way things ended between her and Smithy wasn’t exactly ideal. Clyde however being a good did his best to soften the blow for his mother.
