What Could Have Been!
In an alternate reality, we wish the Sarah Jane Adventures was still airing. Hell, in this reality we wish that too! Watching Ultimate Sarah Jane on CBBC gave us this amazing idea... what if it was still running? What could the stories be like? Phil Ford I hope you are reading this...!
Ruby White Returns!
In Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith, Ruby White swore revenge and that's exactly what she's back for. As it turns out, the ship she was trapped in did hurtle towards the sun, but who better to save her than the Trickster himself? In a dramatic turn of events, Ruby White double crosses the Trickster and does it solo!

Rani's Parents Find Out!
All the excuses suddenly come to a head when Gita and Haresh find out that Rani has been meddling with aliens! But how do they take it?
More Professor Rivers!
Seeing Floella Benjamin in SJA is such a delight and of course, she would continue to be awesome in a quirky way whilst assisting her galpal Sarah Jane to save the world!
Sarah Jane Adventures does Glee!
An alien canister from the planet Songalore falls through space and time and lands in Ealing, only to give everyone the singing bug! The gang can't resist bellowing out a few songs... yeah that's a bit ridiculous, isn't it? How about a silent episode (not to be confused with this lot) where some alien steals all the sound?
More BURPSS!
We loved Ocean and Minty, so in our fantasy SJA series, they would return and continue to be generally amazing in a mocking yet endearing way.
Sky becomes Queen!
Of course, the finale would involve the Fleshkind coming to Earth to rescue Sky, claiming that she is the new Queen of the Fleshkind... but what do they really want with her? (hint hint - the Fleshkind are really Slitheen who want to capture her and trade her with the Fleshkind to buy their planet!)
So what do you think? Do you have any ideas? Send them in to us!

PG Picks: Best of SJA
After 5 series, 54 episodes and a whole lot of fun, Sarah Jane Adventures ended today. To celebrate the wonderful TV show that left us giggling, crying and screaming with joy, we look back at out top 5 episodes.
5. The Mark of the Berserker
By removing the focus on Sarah Jane, this story was amazing in capturing Clyde and Rani at their best, as well as going deeper into Clyde's family and exploring their relationship. The fabulous acting from Daniel Anthony, Joceyln Jee Esien and Gary Beadle was the icing on the haunting cake. And we got to see Rani meet Maria!
4. Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?
Although scary, the Trickster proved to the perfect nemesis for Sarah Jane Smith in being the total opposite to her. Not only did we get to see, for the first time ever, Sarah Jane's background, but we also saw Elisabeth and Sarah Jane at one of their finest points, both in acting and in character.
3. The Lost Boy
Nobody expected it, but Mr Smith turning evil is a classic SJA moment and one of the finest to come out of Doctor Who. The scene was made even better with the return of the goodold new K9! Kudos on the writers for tricking us, and Sarah Jane, into believing that Mr Smith was good!
2. Death of the Doctor
It was every fanboy's dream come true... Sarah Jane Smith and Jo Grant - in one episode? With the Doctor?! Written by RUSSELL T DAVIES? (Need I say more?)
1. The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith
Truly amazing acting from Elisabeth, especially in the final scene where she has to say goodbye to her love... Even though the Doctor wasn't the reason the episode was amazing, the cast really gelled well and the hauntingly beautiful storyline makes this Planet Gallifrey's number one Sarah Jane Adventures story!

Sarah Jane Adventures for complete Audiobook Collection
The BBC will release the entire collection of the Sarah Jane Adventures audiobooks on November 24th. This collection marks the end of a successful series of SJA audiobooks, which began in 2007 and were read by Elisabeth Sladen, until 2011, where the final two are read by Anjli Mohindra and Daniel Anthony.
Loltor Who: From Raxacorricofallapotorious with Love
Did I spell that correctly?
Anyway, to celebrate the end to such an amazing television show, as well as paying tribute to the wonderful Elisabeth Sladen, it's only fitting that this week's Loltor Who takes a look back at Sarah Jane Adventures at Red Nose Day 2009... starring Ronnie Corbett!
Cue the height jokes, farts and all-round cheesy ridiculousness!

Review: Deadly Download
A computer virus! Destroying everything?
It is bizzare to begin with, because you don't normally get stories centred around computer "viruses" running amok. Jason Arnopp, however, masterfully weaves in the seemingly undisturbed and suburban Bannerman Road with horror and danger so effortlessly... it's a shame that he hasn't written more stuff for the show!
Starting off slowly, the story progresses but perhaps too slowly. Most of the action at the beginning is set in the Attic which is quite static. However, when the pace quickens, it begins to get more interesting.
Elisabeth's voice is lovely and warm as always, especially at points throughout the story where there is danger and excitement present, because she starts speaking really-really-fast and your ears somehow manage to keep up whilst taking in everything. However, her attempt at doing Clyde will never be completely perfect. Everyone has faults, I suppose.
In terms of characterisation, the main four are mostly faithful to their televisual counterparts. Unfortunately, we don't get as much interaction between Rani, Clyde or Luke as in previous audiobooks, because it seems to be a very Mr Smith heavy story. That's not to say that it's bad; it's certainly refreshing to hear a supporting 'character' have a major role for once.
Deadly Download is one of the stronger Sarah Jane Adventures audiobooks in the series, but it is not the best. It has a lot of clever, dramatic moments and on the whole, it's definitely a worthy addition to the collection.
8/10

Russell T Davies addresses SJA regeneration line
MILD SPOILERS
In an interview with SFX, Russell T Davies addressed the fandom-splitting line in the recent Sarah Jane Adventures episode, Death of the Doctor, which supposedly changed the regeneration limit to... 507.
"507 – I could not resist! I was hooting. It’ll never stick, though. That 13 lives is stuck in people’s heads. It is, isn’t it funny? Yet they only said 13 once or twice."
Read the rest of the interview here, where Russell talks about writing for Matt Smith's Doctor amongst other stuff.
