The Sarah Jane Adventures

I've been a fan of doctor who ever since I was young and grew up watching it. This was an amazing spin off of the show and I loved it. Elizabeth sladen was an amazing actress and I would recommend this! :)

"The Sarah Jane Adventures" continues to display the excellent production values demonstrated in the pilot "Invasion of the Bane". With well-conceived plots, great acting and genuine drama, the series surpassed my expectations.

Elisabeth Sladen remains eternally youthful and is as watchable as ever. She's joined by a solid cast and the whole ensemble makes the series more satisfying that "Torchwood".

"Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?" is the highlight of the first season, superbly directed by Graeme Harper. It's a marvellous tale which paves the way for "Doctor Who"'s "Turn Left" episode.

8 out of 10.

As a true Doctor Who fan I always watch the spin off material, I had reservations about the Sarah Jane Adventures on their original transmission, but the show continued to surprise me, it was so tragic that our beautiful and wonderful Elisabeth Sladen was taken before her time. I am so pleased that she got her own show, well deserved as she was and still is the number one companion.

The show matured as it went along, the Pilot episode was fun enough, but a few episodes in particular shone through, firstly the wonderful 'Whatever happened to Sarah Jane,' as good as any recent Doctor Who I can think of, a great story. The wonderful and hugely sentimental 'Death of the Doctor,' where we finally got to see Sarah Jane meet Jo Grant. There were some other great stories, but in my humble opinion these two were the best.

Suitable for all the family, enough jokes and humour for more mature viewers, and enough scares for the younger viewers. I became a huge fan of Juliet Cowan from this (Chrissie Jackson) she added lots of laughs to the show.

I wish we'd had more, and had the delightful Elisabeth Sladen not passed away, I'm sure it would have run for many more years.

8/10.

My daughter loved this and being a old fan of Liz Sladen I was looking forward to this as well (Ok yes I have a copy of K9 and Co !!). It was a good romp and we shall look forward to the series in due course. Acting was excellent all round and the monsters, whilst toned down for the earlier slot worked well.

All I would say however, is that credit should be given where due and the similarities between BubbleShock and Slurm from the Simpsons stable's "Futurama" were far to close to be co-incidence. Mind you we had "Fight Club" in Torchwood the other week so plagiarism is obviously alive and well at the BBC these days ....

The late Elisabeth Sladen, who was one of, if not the best Doctor Who Companion, stars in this fun show where she protects earth with the help of her adopted son and his friends. She was taken from us far too soon and some channel in the states needs to be repeating this.
