- TriviaIn 2014, Tom Baker revealed that he had agreed to reprise his role as the Fourth Doctor for an episode, before Elisabeth Sladen died.
- GoofsOn a few occasions, Sarah Jane's house has a number "21" plaque on the gate - which is the number of the real house used on location, 21 Clinton Road. It should be 13, for 13 Bannerman Road, which is the fictional location.
- Quotes
Clyde Langer: [intro] 13 Bannerman Road is where Sarah Jane Smith lives - and it's home to things way beyond your imagination. There's an extraterrestrial supercomputer in the wall; her son, a genetically engineered boy genius; a schoolgirl investigator across the road; and a whole universe of adventure, right here on the doorstep.
Sarah Jane Smith: Ready?
Clyde Langer: Always.

If you're looking for something to replace Doctor Who while it's not on, this show is perfect. But it really stands on its own. It doesn't keep tying itself to the Doctor Who universe (except in a few stories, I will admit). It's got more heart than Doctor Who, while Doctor Who might be wittier and more dramatic, The Sarah Jane Adventures is witty but it's also sweet. You'll feel like a kid watching this but in a good way.
It makes me ashamed to be an American, quite frankly! If BBC can produce a show aimed at preteens and make it so incredibly good that it has an audience of all ages, and yet America has crap like Hannah Montana... well CBBC must be superior.
