Peter Capaldi killed his children in Torchwood. Yeah, sure Moffat explained why the Doctor wore Caecillius' face, but I still haven't heard his reasoning of what that had to do with the role he played on Torchwood. He said that all three of Capaldi's appearances would be explained.
how cool would it be if Rani and Clyde and maybe Luke actually did become the doctors companions tho?? the doctor could like to visit and just find luke in the house who says she died years ago, that would be the saddest thing ever
There aren't many things that break me. Liz Sladen dying and SJA ending broke me. I still tear up at the ending. This was a really special show, and I think the reason that the Who era of 2005-2010 felt so immersive was that there was a whole universe being maintained, and it felt like you could just slip in and out of it whenever you liked. That's how you know you've done something right. Or so I say
Hi, ignore that one commenter who called you weak, personally I wasn't afraid of the show but I'm not about to call someone weak for being more scared by a kids' show than Doctor Who. If you find it scary, then it can be scary. You don't need to feel weak about it :)
@@flashygreenx8828 I mean psychologically it makes sense in Doctor Who you have Doctor Who who is basically a god and despite what the fans say he's always been important he's literally called the doctor to make him sound important but Sarah Jane Smith you just got Sarah Jane and we love Sarah Jane but she's not Doctor Who

About 10 years ago I made my best friend cry by showing him the jump scare from day of the clown on repeat. I found it so funny it's now my favourite SJA story. Purely for the jump scare
I looked up to Sarah Jane Smith when I was younger. I was gutted when she passed away. My cousins and I all had a character in the DW universe, I was Sarah Jane Smith and my older cousin was The Doctor. I miss her so much, she was the Buffy Summers of that time.
If doctor who is still going when I grow up and the actors who played Clyde and rarny (not the right way) are still quite young I would cast them to be the companions and I was working for DOCTOR WHO
*I came up with an idea for a follow-up called Bannerman Road.* The first episode opens with Sarah Jane (off-screen) fighting a standard alien threat. She gets shot, and K9 defends her dying body until he's shot too. The gang try to continue her legacy without her, but fail, as Sky dies early on. Since then, they disband but all pitch in to pay for the house (now empty): Rani a journalist; Clyde an artist; Luke a NASA scientist. Luke and Maria have a reunion, and - shocked to hear that they're still paying for the house - insists they all reunite and sell-up, putting it all behind them. They agree but, when cleaning, find a clue suggesting Sky is still out there somewhere. There are mysteries still left to be unravelled. Who left Sky, and why? Is she even human? Rani and Clyde are stubborn at first to admit it, but they never really moved on. Their feelings towards each other open up as the show goes by. Encountering old companions *and* old monsters, the series' team gradually investigate what it was that happened to Sky, all the while coming to terms with letting go of Sarah Jane. This theme of letting go comes to its conclusion when the team track down Sky's whereabouts only to find nothing. There was hope she would return, but she didn't. And that's okay. They put the investigation to rest and sell the house, for a new family to use. They let go, but they remain firm friends. It's an anagram r about letting go of the past without severing yourself from it: that means Sky, that means Sarah Jane, and that means the show. Sometimes things end abruptly, but you have to accept it and move on.
Just in case anyone is interested the actress that played Rani Chandra here made her debut in Doctor who itself as the scorpion queen in the episode "Nikola Tesla's night of terror". Just a fun fact.
Okay class is nowhere near as good as sja or torchwood, but I still love it. I know it's a bit of a mixed audience, but I was like 16 when it came out- so I could relate to the childish and the dark stuff. I loved it
GOD! I Loved the Sarah Jane Adventures! You really made me want to go and rewatch them now. Best: Last Sontaron- best sontaron villain! Look at the scars! All the Trickster stories!- Bet SJA villain Death of the Doctor The Nightmare Man Enemy of the Bane Worst: Yeah no... got nothing... well maybe except Sky
About Sky, I completely agree. However, it disappointing, as they had an incredible arc for Sky planned for the ending of series 5. Shame the last episode ended up being some random filler and Sky ended as just another Luke to do something new with the plot.
@@bmvthemoviefanatic7282 it suddenly ended because Elizabeth who plays Sarah Jane died so they couldn't make anymore I think they were in the middle of filming a few more episodes or something and sky was just plain boring
Dude you have such great point, those people who complain about the new doctor (Jodie) aren't real whovians if they don't look back at the the sahra jane adventures. So for the first time since I joined youtube you: SamyuDavis, you've just earned my outright respect man, that's a hard thing to get. (Well it's easy but something likes this earns it imeadiently straight away)
For me, I instantly wanted nothing to do with the 13th doctor not for her sex but for what that represented. Over the years, the stories that Dr. Who covered were entertaining but that's not why I watched. It's the ideas and the philosophies that the Doctor has to cover and the decisions he has to make that really make Dr. Who for me. From the Utopia episode to the one where Amy gets stuck in an alternate dimension and the doctor has to leave her, or even the Silence. Each of these brought up concepts that could be thought about outside of the show. Hell, these were my favorites. As the show continued on though, political correctness started cutting out the darker topics. Sure, there were hints in other episodes but one could always say that there was the next episode. It could be free of that. So that brings me to my point. They didn't cast her because she's particularly good. They cast her because she's a woman and I feel that its a symbol of political correctness that is pervasive in every episode. Truthfully, I care little about her actual sex. I do care for the fact that she's waved around as a token. She's the token female Doctor I refuse to support that.
@@bluephoenixguy1094 really, one time I imagined Eddie Redmayne as the doctor, plus I like the new doctor even though I. HATE the new sonic. I still think the charecter is the same becuase remember the doctor can change appearance right so even tough he's been a man over the years it's nice to have a change now and then. Y'know?
Brandon Moore Yes, change is nice but I still feel that this doctor is nothing but an appeal to Political Correctness ruins the impactful parts of the show for me, robbing it of its depth. You're fine to like the show, but I liked the more underlying elements than the immediately obvious ones. I don't want to support a show that I feel that the writing has gone down signifigantly. What better way to get this point across than with my wallet, and my views.
I didn't watch this until early high school, but I loved it so much. Watching the whole thing on the family computer, eating krystal sliders and just vibing
I remember, I'm 16 as of now so this show was around in my childhood and it was the first proper show I actually kept up with in terms of story and everything. I remember getting so hyped when seeing the trailers where they got stuck in space in everything near the final episode
WHAT!? Warriors of Kudlak?! It was a great idea. An easy way to source soldiers, they just teleport them. Child soldiers aren't good at fighting, but they're easy to get and are expendable
The Sarah Jane Adventures are some of my earliest Who-related memories (along with vague recollections of RTD Cybermen stories). It was a perfect introduction to the Whoniverse for my pre-pubescent self and I will forever be grateful to Elizabeth Sladen and Russell T Davies for it
Matt Smith is my favorite Doctor and I love that he still got to work with Lis Sladen before she passed away. And Smith himself apparantly loved it too, as he stated that he had two actors who didn't need to be explained who the Doctor was, so they could get straight into the adventure once he showed up.
I love the who-niverse, but I haven't watched The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures and honestly did NOT expect to end up with my eyes wet with tears when clicking on this video. Now I wanna watch SJSA.
In year 5 or 6, my primary school did a charity run for cancer research, we had to pick a person to put on our number page (a thing we wore to show who we were) most people picked loved ones who died of cancer - but I chose Sarah Jane Smith (I didn’t know the actors name - Elizabeth Sladen - at the time).
@@SamyulDavis I had to keep explaining the show to everyone in my class because they didn’t know about it. I also downloaded the WHOLE SHOW to the sky box so I could watch each morning before school, it was such a good show!
I Remember watching this show as A kid. Since I wasn’t a Doctor who fan back then, I didn’t get any of the references the show introduced. But I soon became hooked on the show and I would try to watch the episodes as soon as they aired on CBBC. And R.I.P. To Elizabeth Sladen. She didn’t just become a children’s icon, she was one of characters that inspired me to watch Doctor who in general.
I know this is about SJA and I love that show but I love even more that your background music is the theme from Big Finish Sarah Jane Smith which not enough people talk about. It’s basically SJA if it was more like Torchwood.
Damn I remember back in 2008? I think it was. When the first season of SJA was airing. It was about to be Eye of The Gorgon and I was in a play area. I remember rushing my mum and saying “I need to get back for my Sarah Jane” and I’ve never forgotten that. I remember hearing the news that Liz died and I was absolutely distraught, I was so involved with this series and I miss it so much.
"Smart creators understand that kids are not idiots. And they still deserve fun." (4:26) Right you are (and luckily I don't have to decide on which one's the better sequel, because SJA and Torchwood are just two different pairs of shoes - as you English are said to be saying).
Can I just say this is an amazing video. You are a really good critic and you will eventually get a higher number of subscribers. Keep on making videos, and don’t give up!
I really wish Sarah Jane could have been in the Day of the Doctor if she and Tom Baker could have been together for that pep talk they gave him would have been fantastic
I grew up watching sarah Jane adventures and I can say sarah jane was my roll model, also they filmed Revenge of the Slitheen in my collage (you can actually see my classroom in a few scenes)
SJA was brilliant, balancing Doctor Who history and world with a kid friendly version was no easy task. Yet they nailed it. It got better over time just like Doctor Who did. The most impressive aspect of SJA was it was never patronising. Never treated the viewer as stupid and yet the softening of Doctor Who for kids was a massive achievement. I have nothing but love for this show. Even now in my late twenties it stills hold ups as a great show. Series 5 was the change and possibly the final series. It's such a shame it was never finished. The series was cobbled together to finish some of it. At least we have something to watch. Elisabeth Sladen was a true legend and will be sadly missed. She made the show and managed to bring kids and adults together with there love of SJA and Doctor Who. She was truly special and a shame she is no longer with us. We will always have her work so she will always life on.
I wanted a doctor like a strict but loving grandmother who had a glint of excitement in her eye but behind a wealth of knowledge and darkness. But no we got Jodie "excited hyperactive idiot" Whitaker
This comment won't really help anyone but myself, but at 10:49, right as he went: "Mmm... Hmm..." Suddenly the video cut to an ad of a guy waking up shivering from the cold and going: "Hurr. The furnace is-" "Back on." And then he goes: "Not the best." And I thought that was a really cool transition.
BMV The Movie Fanatic Every kid has a safe ‘fear’, so I’m not wow’d by it. Seems a little too liberally lifted. But then I’m a massive fan of Brain of Morbius! So who knows!
2OO8 female lead, loads of diversity great tv.......2020 female lead, loads of diversity, S**T TV... Now I’m a misogamist sexists racist....funny, don’t feel like I’ve changed...........
Sarah Jane adventures is brilliant! Won’t lie I loved the vault of secrets but it’s the very next story in my new who doctor who marathon so I’m really hoping it doesn’t disappoint :)
Class knew its target audience. It was a fairly typical teen/young adult drama and it did that WELL. EXTREMELY WELL. Speaking as someone who was 17 (I think?) when Class came out, I adored every second of it. Although mostly I was just there for Charlie and Matteusz. Class deserved a second series and you're wrong if you disagree.
I still don't care that the doctor is female, it the PC-ness the new doctor who is taking that is starting to drag.... The first female Doctor may have been short lived but was PHENOMENAL, The Doctor Donna of course... Thanks the human ingenuity she was way more OP than the Doctor (she figured out how to fix the chameleon field for the Tardis just as a random thought) and she retained the hilarity of Donna Noble. This new female Doctor is still a bit meh, she needs to act less idiot and more weirdo. Though it's is a nice change from Capaldi's sarcastic ahole grandpa Doctor but, I really do miss the Sci-fi ramblings were the Doctor tries to explain something out of this world at light speed that we got with most Doctors. The new Doctor is really like "errr", 'Hhhhmmm" and "Well, maybe" were I'd expect some out of this world explanation.
thank you for mentioning kaagh the slayer, he's such a good character, and i don't care what people say, he survived falling into that weird portal thing, plus a sontaran mercenery is such a good idea, make that a big finish series Briggs
The only other writer/producer I know of that had three shows on at once. Was Micheal Landon. Here in America. He had Father Murphy and Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven all on NBC at the same time. It's interesting to know He wasn't the only one in the World.
I just hope when we have a capable writer and lead for doctor who again that Luke or Clyde and or rani might return. Nothing would please fans for than seeing Sarah-Janes genius son created by aliens stand side by side with a good actor or actress to play the doctor with a good writer letting the son of Sarah-Jane experience the life she once had travelling in time with the doctor while the doctor drops their jaw in amazement of the effect Sarah-Jane as a mentor and mother on such a capable already well established character. And out of the 3 Luke would be the best choice purely for the fact he has already appeared in 3 doctor who episodes granted 2 of those were a two parter story but still
The Sarah Jane Adventures is where classic and New Who fans have common ground.
the Death of the Doctor in the SJA was an awesome example of this - I mean, 11th Doctor meets both Sarah Jane and Jo Grant! loved it!! :)

I love this show so much i have fond memorys
Day of the Clown scared all of my friends when we were at primary school, but not me.
SJA was brilliant, balancing Doctor Who history and world with a kid friendly version was no easy task. Yet they nailed it. It got better over time just like Doctor Who did. The most impressive aspect of SJA was it was never patronising. Never treated the viewer as stupid and yet the softening of Doctor Who for kids was a massive achievement. I have nothing but love for this show. Even now in my late twenties it stills hold ups as a great show. Series 5 was the change and possibly the final series. It's such a shame it was never finished. The series was cobbled together to finish some of it. At least we have something to watch. Elisabeth Sladen was a true legend and will be sadly missed. She made the show and managed to bring kids and adults together with there love of SJA and Doctor Who. She was truly special and a shame she is no longer with us. We will always have her work so she will always life on.
And now there's no spin offs
I wanted a doctor like a strict but loving grandmother who had a glint of excitement in her eye but behind a wealth of knowledge and darkness. But no we got Jodie "excited hyperactive idiot" Whitaker
It’s absolutely criminal that “the mark of the berserker” didn’t even get a mention.
That clown episode gave me nightmares for ages
I watched a few of these around my cousins house, I especially remember when the teacher zipped open his head. Weird but awesome. Nice video.
One thing I have to give Warriors of Kudlak credit for is the awesome monster design. Really dug it.
This comment won't really help anyone but myself, but at 10:49, right as he went: "Mmm... Hmm..." Suddenly the video cut to an ad of a guy waking up shivering from the cold and going: "Hurr. The furnace is-"
"Back on."
And then he goes:
"Not the best."
And I thought that was a really cool transition.
The Last Sontaron was fantastic television.
Has no idea this was any good, but now I’m going to check it out
The fact they managed to make a kids version of IT is commendable in my mind.
BMV The Movie Fanatic Every kid has a safe ‘fear’, so I’m not wow’d by it. Seems a little too liberally lifted. But then I’m a massive fan of Brain of Morbius! So who knows!
RIP liz sladen I loved your show
12:32 There’s three stories in Series Five, not two.
She was a strong female character that boys and girls could look up to before it became a thing!
joelm33 it’s always been a ‘thing’
I am now convinced that Invasion of the Bane is one big Futurama reference.
Sarah Jane adventures was great for me growing up, I do genuinely think these episodes here way better for kids then what we’ve got nowadays
Day of the clown was brilliant. It was terrifying and had good acting all around.
after watching this again, i feel you should do a quick review of 'farewell, sarah jane'
(the recent audio story on youtube)
I remember watching the death of the Doctor episode and just adoring completely as a kid
My favourite Doctor Who spin-offs: Rick & Morty, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD and, The Happy Days cartoon.
Question: Which one of the final 2 stories of Season 5 were the best?
Curse of Clyde Langer, I'm sure everyone would agree
The day of the clown Terrified me as a child.
You've convinced me to watch this, I only watched season 1 when I was young.
2OO8 female lead, loads of diversity great tv.......2020 female lead, loads of diversity, S**T TV... Now I’m a misogamist sexists racist....funny, don’t feel like I’ve changed...........
And my favourite Doctor Who TH-camr.
Is there anywhere I can watch this because I want to
I really used to love this show
For real though the clown one scared me as a kid. What can I say, Bradley Walsh was a spooky clown to 10 year old me
Sarah Jane adventures is brilliant! Won’t lie I loved the vault of secrets but it’s the very next story in my new who doctor who marathon so I’m really hoping it doesn’t disappoint :)
Day of the clown used to terrify me and thats why its one of my favourites now
The Trickster should return in Doctor who
I loved the Sarah Jane Adventures it was my favourite show when I was younger 🤩
This video was uploaded on my birthday. I am happy to share the date of creation as such an amazing video.
For real though day of the clown gave me nightmares when I was young. Caused my bloody fear of clowns.
Class knew its target audience. It was a fairly typical teen/young adult drama and it did that WELL. EXTREMELY WELL. Speaking as someone who was 17 (I think?) when Class came out, I adored every second of it. Although mostly I was just there for Charlie and Matteusz. Class deserved a second series and you're wrong if you disagree.
The marketing was crap for it though. I didn't even know it was on.
The slitheen were my childhood nightmares. Those creepy green bastards.
This show was my childhood
Sarah Jane adventures was my CHILDHOOD I loved it. Torchwood was really good in its own right as a show. Class was... Can we pretend it didn't...
Class what?
I still don't care that the doctor is female, it the PC-ness the new doctor who is taking that is starting to drag.... The first female Doctor may have been short lived but was PHENOMENAL, The Doctor Donna of course... Thanks the human ingenuity she was way more OP than the Doctor (she figured out how to fix the chameleon field for the Tardis just as a random thought) and she retained the hilarity of Donna Noble. This new female Doctor is still a bit meh, she needs to act less idiot and more weirdo. Though it's is a nice change from Capaldi's sarcastic ahole grandpa Doctor but, I really do miss the Sci-fi ramblings were the Doctor tries to explain something out of this world at light speed that we got with most Doctors. The new Doctor is really like "errr", 'Hhhhmmm" and "Well, maybe" were I'd expect some out of this world explanation.
the trickster is just hands down the best of sja
where did you find the episodes to watch
BEST WHO TEAM
thank you for mentioning kaagh the slayer, he's such a good character, and i don't care what people say, he survived falling into that weird portal thing, plus a sontaran mercenery is such a good idea, make that a big finish series Briggs
The only other writer/producer I know of that had three shows on at once. Was Micheal Landon. Here in America. He had Father Murphy and Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven all on NBC at the same time. It's interesting to know He wasn't the only one in the World.
Mm... Well, Done.
Thanks for sharing this.
I just hope when we have a capable writer and lead for doctor who again that Luke or Clyde and or rani might return. Nothing would please fans for than seeing Sarah-Janes genius son created by aliens stand side by side with a good actor or actress to play the doctor with a good writer letting the son of Sarah-Jane experience the life she once had travelling in time with the doctor while the doctor drops their jaw in amazement of the effect Sarah-Jane as a mentor and mother on such a capable already well established character. And out of the 3 Luke would be the best choice purely for the fact he has already appeared in 3 doctor who episodes granted 2 of those were a two parter story but still
