A [[Spin-Off]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' (set, of course, in the [[Whoniverse]]), this time for [[CBBC]]. The series kicked off with a one hour long "pseudo-pilot" special which aired on New Year's Day 2007, followed by a full series of ten episodes later that year. The series' true pilot, though, was the 2006 Doctor Who episode [[Doctor Who/Recap/
It starred [[Elisabeth Sladen|Elisabeth "Lis" Sladen]], reprising her role of Sarah Jane Smith, investigative reporter and former companion of the Doctor (in his Third and Fourth incarnations), after sharing one adventure with the Tenth Doctor. She appeared to be a bit of an eccentric recluse at first, but it turned out she was really an expert on aliens and their technology. She was joined by local kids Maria and Clyde, as well as her adopted (and [[Artificial Human]]) son, Luke, as they battle aliens on Earth... [[City of Adventure|well in]] [[One London Thirty Three Boroughs|Ealing]] anyway. Later episodes introduce Rani, Clyde and Luke's schoolmate, and Sky, Sarah Jane's adopted alien daughter (a character introduced late in the series as a replacement for Luke).
Line 67:
* [[Continuity Cavalcade]]: ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures/Recap/S4/E05 E6 Death of the Doctor|Death of the Doctor]]'' is just one big Cavalcade of Jo Grant's (and to a lesser extent, Sarah Jane's) previous travels with the Doctor, as well as Clyde and Rani's encounter with him in ''The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith''. There's even a token reference to Maria from series 1 and 2. At the end of the episode, Sarah Jane mentions looking up various ''Doctor Who'' companions of yore on the Internet, including Harry, Ben and Polly, Ian and Barbara, Ace and Tegan.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Frequent references to ''[[Doctor Who]]'' (new and classic) and (more subtly) to ''[[Torchwood]]''.
** Oddly, ''The Sarah Jane Adventures'' seems to reference the classic ''Who'' episodes more often than ''[[Doctor Who]]'' itself does. Photos of the Brigadier and other UNIT personnel were seen in the first episode, the Sontarans were referenced in ''The Eye of the Gorgon'' before they appeared in ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/
*** The Doctor himself gets mentioned a number of times throughout the series, sometimes accompanied with flashbacks, sometimes not. Notably, his removal from time is an eventual goal of [[Big Bad|the Trickster]].
*** Kaagh the Slayer belongs to the Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet and recounts [[Doctor Who/Recap/
*** In ''Revenge of the Slitheen'', Sarah Jane recalls when she met Rose in "School Reunion": "Slitheen in Downing Street."
** The art gallery in ''Mona Lisa's Revenge'' used to house the Cup of Athelstan, stolen in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/
** ''The Vault of Secrets'' has Sarah Jane and Mr Smith stopping a NASA rover from catching sight of some [[Doctor Who/Recap/S13/E03 Pyramids of Mars|Pyramids on Mars]], and {{spoiler|The Alliance of Shades themselves from the animated serial ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/2009 AS Dreamland|Dreamland]]'' appear.}}
** The Eleventh Doctor references [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E13 The Big Bang|Amy and Rory's marriage]], as well as [[Doctor Who/Recap/
** Part of the plot of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures/Recap/S4/E05 E6 Death of the Doctor|Death of the Doctor]]'' revolves around Clyde's absorption of TARDIS energy in the previous series' ''The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith''.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: the Brigadier, who returns in ''Enemy of the Bane''.
Line 147:
** The largest ham in has got to be the Nightmare Man. "Youuuur dreams are just beauuuuutiful!"
** {{spoiler|Ruby}} in ''Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith''.
** The [[Mona Lisa]] in ''Mona Lisa's Revenge'' (though the actress made up for this, big time, in [[Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E04 The
* [[Laser Hallway]]: The Pharos Institute, in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures/Recap/S1/E09 E10 The Lost Boy|The Lost Boy]]'', has a dramatic but impractical ''outdoor'' laser grid. Which, even apart from the fact that {{spoiler|Sarah Jane just zaps it with her sonic lipstick}}, completely fails to make up for the fact that there's apparently no security systems installed inside.
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: After Sarah Jane offered Gita a cup of tea: "Do you save the world every day, or only on Mondays?"
Line 262:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: The Shansheeth faked the Doctor's death so they could lure him to them and steal his TARDIS in order to prevent all death in the universe.
* [[We Will Meet Again]]: Mrs. Wormwood, {{spoiler|and she keeps that promise}}.
** Inverted in ''The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith'' in which Sarah Jane suggests she may never see the Doctor again. (As it happens, [[Doctor Who/Recap/
* [[The World Is Just Awesome]]: Sarah Jane gives speeches like this ''a lot''.
* [[The X of Y]]: Appears in 14 out of 27 stories.
