I hoped Sarah Jane would return to our televisions, but the last episode of Doctor Who made me wonder if they were all being got rid of. But of course they weren’t. You can’t kill all the fat calves or golden geese or what have you. Things sorted themselves out quite nicely, so I assume that this afternoon we’ll find Sarah Jane and Luke and any child helpers running around in that delicious green Figaro, pointing that pen thing at aliens as usual. And it appears Mr Smith has been forgiven, but can he be trusted?
Starts 16.35 on BBC1.

I will admit to having cried at the end of episode 2 shown on CBBC this afternoon. Anyone else willing to put their hand up on this one?
Oh, no! I haven’t seen it yet, as I was in Surrey all day, and just left the video to record. Now you worry me!
Don’t be scared to watch. It’s not a nasty thing! Don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll say no more.
Anyone else willing to put their hand up on this one? – yes, albeit sheepishly.
Such a brilliant show.
Maybe it was just as well I had been warned. Let’s hope it works out OK.
I just looked up Elizabeth Sladen. She’s 60! I can’t believe it.
There’s a little on CultureWitch on the first episodes. http://culturewitch.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/the-sarah-jane-adventures/
