G is for... Grantham


Mark Grantham was the manager of a live role-play gaming centre named Combat 3000, in which contestants fought laser battles against each other as they negotiated a maze of tunnels. A number of young people had disappeared in the area, last seen at Combat 3000 centres around the country. Sarah Jane Smith decided to investigate the local branch after it was noted that there were strange weather patterns immediately over the building at the time of the latest disappearance. Luke and Clyde had taken part in the games - only to find themselves transported to a spaceship in Earth orbit when they successfully reached the higher level. Sarah and Maria visited the centre and broke into Grantham's office, where they discovered that he had an alien ally - General Kudlak of the Uvodni race. The Uvodni were involved in a long-running war, and were abducting youngsters who showed the best fighting skills - sending them off through space to fight for real. Sarah and Maria escaped but Grantham followed them to Sarah's home, where Maria overpowered him with an electrical shock. They then forced him into sending them into space so that they could rescue Luke, Clyde and the other captive youngsters. On their return, they found that Grantham had fled.

Played by: Chook Sibtain. Appearances: SJA 1.3: Warriors of Kudlak (2007).
  • Sibtain later played Bowie Base One team member Tarak Ital - one of the first victims of the Flood in The Waters of Mars.
