+'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was a novelisation based on the [[2007 (releases)|2007]] television story ''[[Invasion of the Bane (TV story)|Invasion of the Bane]]'', the inaugural episode of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. It was published simultaneously with the novelisations of ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen (novelisation)|Revenge of the Slitheen]]'', ''[[Eye of the Gorgon (novelisation)|Eye of the Gorgon]]'', and ''[[Warriors of Kudlak (novelisation)|Warriors of Kudlak]]'', and was thus tied with those three books as the first novelisation of a ''[[Doctor Who]]''-related television production since the 1996 release of ''[[The Novel of the Film (novelisation)|The Novel of the Film]]''.
-This book adapts ''[[Invasion of the Bane]]'', the inaugural episode of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. Published at the same time as the novelisations for ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen (novelisation)|Revenge of the Slitheen]]'', ''[[Eye of the Gorgon (novelisation)|Eye of the Gorgon]]'' and ''[[Warriors of Kudlak (novelisation)|Warriors of Kudlak]]'', but listed first as it's based upon the pilot episode, this marks the first novelisation of a ''[[Doctor Who]]''-related television production since the [[1996]] release of ''[[Doctor Who - The Novel of the Film]]'' (based upon ''[[Doctor Who (1996)|Doctor Who]]'') and the first adaptation of a "regular" episode/serial since ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (novelisation)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'' in [[1994]]. By writing this inaugural book, [[Terrance Dicks]] continues his prolific association with Who-related fiction; this is his first television novelisation since his adaptation of ''[[The Space Pirates (novelisation)|The Space Pirates]]'' was published in [[1990]].
+With this book, ''Doctor Who'' script editor [[Terrance Dicks]] returned to the world of episode adaptations; it is his first television novelisation since his adaptation of ''[[The Space Pirates (novelisation)|The Space Pirates]]'' was published in 1990.

+* [[Maria Jackson]]
+* [[Kelsey Hooper]]
+* [[Wormwood (Invasion of the Bane)|Wormwood]]
+* [[Alan Jackson]]
+* [[Mr Smith]]
+* [[Davey (Invasion of the Bane)|Davey]]
+* [[K9 Mark IV|K9]]
+* [[Chrissie Jackson]]
+* [[Lesley (Invasion of the Bane)|Lesley]]
+== Worldbuilding ==
+* [[Maria Jackson]] thinks that there is something spooky about [[Sarah Jane Smith]]'s [[13 Bannerman Road|house]], noting that it has a touch of ''[[Dracula (fictional character)|Dracula]]''{{'}}s castle to its design.
+* When [[Davey (Invasion of the Bane)|Davey]] tells [[Kelsey Hooper]] that the [[Bane Mother]] is his mother, Kelsey suggests that he should go to [[Jeremy Kyle]].
+* [[Sarah Jane Smith]] has a photo of a "[[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|fierce-looking Army officer with a clipped moustache]]", who Maria thinks might be [[Eddie Smith|Sarah Jane's father]]. There is also a photo of a "[[Harry Sullivan|handsome square-jawed young man in a duffle coat]]", who Maria thinks is Sarah Jane's boyfriend.
+* Kelsey has a friend called [[Sakkib (Invasion of the Bane)|Sakkim]].
+* Sarah Jane thinks that the people who are controlled by [[Bubble Shock!]] look like [[zombie]]s.
+* [[Ivan]] is "some sort of city banker".
+== Notes ==
+* Includes an eight-page section of photographs from the episode.
+* Author Terrance Dicks worked as script editor for ''[[Doctor Who]]'' in the 1970s and wrote or co-wrote scripts for the series beginning in 1969. He is perhaps best known for writing the lion's share of [[Target novelisation]]s published between 1974 and the early 1990s. He has contributed to most lines of original ''Doctor Who'' fiction published since 1991. His last novelisation before this one was ''[[Shakedown]]'' in 1995, which was based upon a non-BBC spin-off production.

+=== Deviations from the televised story ===
-* Includes an 8-page section of photographs from the episode.
+* Due to a typo, [[Alan Jackson]] wishes for "Angela Jolie" to appear at his front door, instead of [[Angelina Jolie]] as he does in the televised version.

+* Sarah Jane communicates with [[K9 Mark IV|K9]] via a monitor kept in the safe, as opposed to the televised version which implies that the safe contains some sort of dimensional portal.
-===Deviations from the Televised Story ===
+* [[Mr Smith]] does not play a fanfare when he's activated, as he does in his television appearances.
-* For some reason, [[Alan Jackson]] wishes for "Angela Jolie" to appear at his front door, instead of ''Angelina'' Jolie as he does in the televised version. ''This is an obvious typo.''
-* Sarah Jane communicates with [[K9 Mark IV|K9]] via a monitor (which for some reason is kept in a safe), as opposed to the televised version which implies that the safe contains some sort of dimensional portal.
-* [[Mr Smith]] does not play a fanfare when he's activated. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'' established that the musical cue heard in the show whenever the computer was summoned actually is heard by the characters.)
