#81 The Empty Planet (2010)

Here’s an adventure that focuses on the two strongest characters created for this spinoff, Rani and Clyde. They are clever, have good chemistry, and can use their experience with Sarah Jane to solve a global mystery with no backup and very few clues. The story of robots…

#91 Lost in Time (2010)

This is an extremely unorthodox story for this show. Rather than the gang investigating a nearby casual alien contact, they find themselves sent individually into different periods of history on a quest to regain special artifacts. So we have a story with Tudor royalty, a…

#94 Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? (2007)

This show always excelled when it got to play around with time travel, but this story gets to go a step further and play with history manipulation. We see a youthful Sarah Jane and her friend Andrea, who tragically died as a child. But then we also get…

#102 The Last Sontaran (2008)

Probably what a lot of people might want from a spinoff are continuations or tie-in to Doctor Who stories. That may not be everyone’s jam, but that’s what this story does. It follows up The Sontaran Stratagem from four months earlier, with a titular lone Sontaran…

70s #Doctorwho is my ultimate comfort watch era and it makes me SO happy that we were given #TheSarahJaneAdventures so we could have beautiful and poignant moments with such beloved characters! I’m instantly smiling whenever I see Lis, @ManningOfficial or Nick on screen

This stuff was so popular in 2007, but tbh I thought it just stated like gross octopus water.

#147 Death of the Doctor (2008)

No, this isn’t episode five of The Chase. Regular readers will know that I am no fan of the Eleventh Doctor, so his crossover inclusion from the mother show is not the primary selling point for this story for me. I am a huge fan of Jo Jones (née Grant) though, and…

#153 The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (2009)

Everyone knows that after Journey’s End, Tennant had another five specials as the Tenth Doctor. But they were, all of them, deceived, for another two episodes were made. The Tenth Doctor gets to join Clyde, Rani, and Luke to defeat the Trickster and his…

#158 Warriors of Kudlak (2007)

This is a fun one. The story of Luke learning social mores is a little bit of a drag, but the overall story of kidnapping children to serve as soldiers is a tried and tested story. It’s kinda goofy that it’s laser tag that the aliens are using to test and recruit the…

#161 The Mark of the Berserker (2008)

As this spinoff is mostly about teenage kids, it feels natural that so many of the stories address their relationships with their parents. With Clyde, that means that we get to look at his relationship with his generally absent father. Paul has his own…

#176 The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith (2008)

There are a few reoccurring villains in The Sarah Jane Adventures, like the Bane, the Slitheen, and Kaagh, but none more prominent than the Trickster. This time, the Trickster tricks Sarah Jane into fracturing time by tempting her into preventing the…

#184 Enemy of the Bane (2008)

This story treads the dangerous ground of bringing back a plethora of returning characters, but it pulls off the trick nicely. Mrs Wormwood returns from Invasion of the Bane and Kaagh returns from The Last Sontaran. Their shaky alliance is full of surprises and…

#191 Secrets of the Stars (2008)

This story wisely starts with the clear assertion that astrology and zodiacs are all blatantly false, with the villain shamefully confessing that he’s a conman before he gets his alien powers and starts to command the world. On the other hand, it’s somewhat…

I've been watching a too much #DoctorWho and #TheSarahJaneAdventures recently.

I just put on the first episode of #MissAusten, about Jane Austen's sister and set in, you know, the real world...

When a maid started acting squirrely, I wondered if she might be a Slitheen or something. 😂

#197 The Day of the Clown (2008)

Clowns are spooky for lots of people, including Sarah Jane (and Ace, unrelated to this). I don’t find them spooky, but I do fine them visually dynamic and distinctive, which makes clowns ideal fodder for villainy. But this story is much more interesting for the…

#203 Revenge of the Slitheen (2007)

The series proper begins by falling safely back on a new Who specific adversary, the Slitheen of Raxacoricofallapitorius. This is a great way to bring the target audience into the show, especially if they missed the holiday special pilot episode eight months…

#204 The Curse of Clyde Langer (2011)

This penultimate episode of the series before its untimely end deals with loss of identity. This comes about in two ways. The first way is with Clyde’s curse, when anyone who says his name winds up violently hating him. He gets around this for a little bit…

#221 Prisoner of the Judoon (2009)

Judoon have made good obstacles since their introduction, a minor twist on the usual alien villain. Tybo is no exception as he drudgedly and bureaucratically works his way through the requisite law enforcement of the story. Sarah Jane is again sidelined from her…
