The Sarah Jane Adventures
60 minute special-Monday, January 1st 2007 on CBBC:
Invasion of the Bane

The official site for the Sarah Jane Adventures is now up and running...unfortunately, only UK viewers are able to access it(bummer). Unlike the official Torchwood site, which we can access a limited amount of features-we are unable to access anything at all on the Sarah Jane site-not even images or an episode guide. If this should change, I'll post links to the episode guides.

Big news for us here in the US!!! The SciFi Channel will air series 3 starting in the Summer of 2007!! Woo-hoo!! (I know this announcement is a little late here, but just in case I'm not the only one who didn't have much access to the internet for the past week, I decided to post it anyway.) ;)

I've read several interesting news bits regarding series three, but I'm not going to post anything yet. I'll probably start a poll for DWC, to see if I can determine what people want to see-what would be considered spoilers, and what people wouldn't mind reading about. (for example, I was completely shocked when the Dalek appeared at the end of Army of Ghosts-I don't think my reaction would have been the same if I had known before hand.)

To start with, I'll ask you here-what kind of news would you like to see? Official announcements from the BBC? What would you consider to be spoilers? If you have any opinions, please feel free to comment!! :)

TAFN, happy Who watching!!!!
