(Doctor Who related) The Sarah Jane Adventures starts on CBBC in September. Who will be watching?

How many adults will be watching this CBBC show, due to the Doctor Who connection?

I know I will. Sarah Jane is my all-time favourite Doctor Who companion.

Hiya Falco - the 60 min pilot episode "Invasion of the Bane" was shown this year on New Years day on BBC1. The actual series starts on CBBC in September, as I said in the question.

I will most certainly be watching "The Sarah Jane" adventures.

I never watched the old series, the new series was what got me so into Doctor Who. Even before seeing "School Reunion" I was excited about the appearance of an old companion (since seeing "Rose" in 2005 and liking the show I did my research on classic Who!), interested to see how they would structure the storyline.

I really did enjoy the episode; great storyline, and Elisabeth Sladen was wonderful as the smart talking independant Sarah Jane Smith - it was clear to me how suitable she was in the role of companion. I was sad to see her leave; she would have been good back on the TARDIS.

I must admit, when I first heard about the spin-off show, "The Sarah Jane Adventures", I was sceptical... I'd heard how badly the first Sarah spin-off "K9 & Company" was received. However, when I tuned into the "Invasion of the Bane", I was pleasantly surprised - a good story with good characters and good acting.

Another reason I will watch TSJA is that Gareth Roberts - who wrote on of my favourite Who novels, "Only Human", and the fantastic series three episode "The Shakespeare Code" - will be writing some episodes.

It's sounding good... will most definately be watching! =)
