The Sarah Jane Adventures

The Sarah Jane Adventures is a British programme that was produced by BBC Cymru Wales for CBBC, created by Russell T Davies, and starring Elisabeth Sladen. The programme is a spin-off of the long-running BBC science fiction programme Doctor Who and is aimed at a younger audience than Doctor Who. It focuses on the adventures of Sarah Jane Smith, an investigative journalist who, as a young woman, had numerous adventures across time and space with the Doctor. BBC has confirmed that the show is not going to have a sixth season. The programme won a Royal Television Society 2010 award for Best Children's Drama. The series debuted on BBC One with a 60-minute special, Invasion of the Bane, on 1 January 2007, and broadcast until Sladen’s death in 2011. It was nominated for a British Academy Children's Award in 2008 in the Drama category, and for a BAFTA Cymru in 2009 in the Children's Drama category.
