More info and pictures can be seen here, but here a few extra bits:

Rani Chandra ... 15, inquisitive, smart and sassy. Wants to be a journalist, and thus idolises Sarah Jane just a little. In return, Sarah Jane takes her happily on her investigations. She gets on well with her parents, although she's always embarrassed that her dad is the new Head Teacher at Park Vale.

Gita Chandra ... Rani's mum is a strong-willed, independent businesswoman, who runs her own flower shop called Bloomin' Lovely. She likes Sarah Jane - she appreciates the fact she wants to help Rani be a journalist. Gita is a lovely person, although she can occasionally be a little overpowering and tends to burst into things uninvited, not taking the hint.

Haresh Chandra ... The new Head Teacher of Park Vale and Rani's dad, he can be prone to slight pomposity, due to the authority at the school. A great cook, he adores Rani and is very pleased that she has befriended Luke Smith, whose intelligence he respects. He's decidedly less impressed by her friendship with Clyde, who he sees as trouble.

Ep 2 - The Day Of The Clown
