Superb Children's Entertainment - ignore the geeks.
13 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Many people will have I'm sure missed this show - the scheduling was tooled sensibly towards its target audience but I feel that an early evening repeat would have been warranted.

This is superb children's entertainment. Sarah Jane and her three young friends save the Earth several times, in these 6 (so far) stories.

Yes, the aliens look like people in rubber suits, and yes it's all rather silly - the episode where a meteor is heading to earth, via a "radar blind spot" for example, but no matter. The thrills are provided in large measure. The aliens are not too scary - but the "Death" type figure in the "Whatever happened to Sarah Jane" story was more disturbing than most.

There are some great kids/adults moments - such as the skateboard park.

Above all, enjoy with your children, and as always with the revived Doctor Who franchise, ignore the sad old Dr Who fans!
