Are you watching the new series?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00dz7hr/The_Sarah_Jane_Adventures_Series_2_The_Day_of_the_Clown_Part_1/ first ep in case it's on at the wrong time for you. Part two is tonight so you better be quick. I find it at least as scary as the old Doctor Who and this episodewell, Ms Sladen is a damned fine actress.

PS By the way have you posted in my journal or on my PS recently? I just wondered whether you believe or scoff the comparison.

Yes, I am watching it. Saw the 2nd part of the clown one on i-player.

Definitely scarier than Dr Who. Ms Sladen is damn fine full stop .

It's good to see some solid drama on kids TV rather than just visual dross.

Russ Abbot tonight!

I haven't posted on your PS cannot find what you are referring to to compare.

You have to click "post to a conversation" or "reply" to one of my journals. Above your posting is a photo of me

Just wondering what I am comparing to what.

Oh man. That episode where she goes back in time and meets her parents.

I know. I only saw the last part yesterday. Brilliant.

Family feelings orientated but not cringe-inducingly so like the new Dr Who series ones are.

RTD is still involved with the show and yet the stories and the way they are written seems better and less saccarine and rushy-abouty than the Dr Who episodes.

A 3rd season has been given the go-ahead. We can only hope they decide to stick it in the classic Dr Who slot on a Saturday night it deserves it.

My one problem with it was the parents who realised they were the problem, Mum touched the flower which wilted, Dad held the fruit which went rotten, yet they still both touched the baby's cheek and hugged our Sarah Jane.

I wouldn't have took the chance myself

You nit-picker you!

I did start checking what they were touching but got caught up with story. Normally, I can spot things like that so it must have been extra gripping.

I watched it first on iPlayer last week, but watched it again on BBC1 on Monday to check what they touched

Do you watch next week's ep in advance on CBBC following the BBC1 show?

I watch one a week so I think I am watching at CBBC speed at the moment as I always watch on I-player so I am keeping up with whatever is the newest on I-player.

Never at home when it's on the BBC.

BBC1 that is!

So you've seen the one with the Brigadier?

I didn't want to start talking about that in case you'd not seen it yet.

Nothing worse than spoilers

No, not seen yesterdays episode. It wasn't up on I-player when I tried.

I knew the Brig was in it.

Was that the one on CBBC last night?

Yes

Do you recall who played the Brigadier's wife in the original Doctor Who?

*cough* not old enough to remember!

The Brig epsiode still is not available on I-Player. The Lost Boy is on at the moment. S'pose I'll have to watch that...

I only mentioned it because I wrote about her (the actress) earlier this year A34323149 - I don't recall her being in the original, but then I also, was too young

'Carry On Screaming' one of the superb Carry On films.

Looks like they are holding back part one of SJA this week on Iplayer til next week as its the finale one next week.

Saw the final two episodes. Very good. I just wish RTD could drop the 'It's family innit.' story 'arcs'. They are getting a little tedious.

Looking back through the episodes they have all been to do with family just like the two first seasons of Dr Who.

ooh, don't tell me part two, I've not seen it yet
