As a true Doctor Who fan I always watch the spin off material, I had reservations about the Sarah Jane Adventures on their original transmission, but the show continued to surprise me, it was so tragic that our beautiful and wonderful Elisabeth Sladen was taken before her time. I am so pleased that she got her own show, well deserved as she was and still is the number one companion.
The show matured as it went along, the Pilot episode was fun enough, but a few episodes in particular shone through, firstly the wonderful 'Whatever happened to Sarah Jane,' as good as any recent Doctor Who I can think of, a great story. The wonderful and hugely sentimental 'Death of the Doctor,' where we finally got to see Sarah Jane meet Jo Grant. There were some other great stories, but in my humble opinion these two were the best.
Suitable for all the family, enough jokes and humour for more mature viewers, and enough scares for the younger viewers. I became a huge fan of Juliet Cowan from this (Chrissie Jackson) she added lots of laughs to the show.
I wish we'd had more, and had the delightful Elisabeth Sladen not passed away, I'm sure it would have run for many more years.
8/10.
