Talk:Series 5 (SJA)

Why this page was created

As the BBC has officially commissioned the 5th series, and as we're already seeing information about the 6th series of Doctor Who coming out before its 5th series even airs, I feel it's justified to do an article at this early stage. 23skidoo 13:35, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Confirmation

Because the BBC had confirmed it and if more facts/spoilers were realeased people would want to know. People like me, and, probably you would come here to look and find those facts. Ghastly9090 10:28, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

luke?

Is he or is he not going to be in the new series? Joshoedit 19:09, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

• Yes, Luke is going to appear in one of the adventures filmed alongside Series 4. And it's a full fledged appearance, not just a webcam cameo. 81.135.25.153 18:03, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

Broadcast

Has there been any word as to whether broadcast might be delayed due to the decision to do a fall season for Doctor Who? Merlin's already been pushed into 2012 because of it. Except for a little overlap at the start and end of seasons I don't think we've had DW and SJA seasons running at the same time before. 68.146.64.9 01:44, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Well You could but torchwood series 4 in the gap but thats to R18 for prime time and SJA series 5 will fit perfectly in the gape but its to CBBCish so.... any one for top gear? Joshoedit 02:21, February 19, 2011 (UTC)

I guess it became a moot point now if they can't film the second half of the season. :( Digifiend 00:35, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

It's not a moot point YET. The first three serials were filmed so it's entirely possibly they'll air them or go to a DVD release, which would be logical. And that's assuming they're ending SJA production. They might just overhaul the second half of the season and replace or write her out. Admittedly this all sounds harsh considering she just passed, but the BBC is a buisness, and it has to get money back somehow. And SJA is one of the best shows on CBBC, and one of the best children's shows acrosss all channels. So they're gonna give it thought before canceling it. As it currently stands, no major announcements have been made, so the series is on hiatus.- Excalibur-117-^{(talk • contribs)} 20:54, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

The filmed episodes (or clips of them) will probably end up on YouTube, if they're not already.

The show is called The Sarah Jane Adventures, so they're not going to write out the part of Sarah Jane. It would seem really strange to have Sarah Jane's name in the title, but not have Sarah Jane as a character.Icecreamdif 14:35, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

The clips are not, and will not (for some time) be on Youtube. Finished episodes will, in my opinion, air at some point in the not-too-distant future, but I am not a CBBC executive. If it's financially plausible, the show could easily be written into some sort of "Bannerman Road Adventures" featuring probably Clyde and Rani and in Sarah Jane's memory (after a tribute/explanation episode of some sort). I don't think the series is on hiatus, however. Everything still seems to be on schedule as before, albeit pre-production on the remaining episodes has likely ceased and is being discussed behind closed doors. Television series like 8 Simple Rules, Law & Order: Trial by Jury, Sealab 2021, The Sopranos (primary co-star), and 15/Love (two stars) all had their main actor pass away during production and were forced to adopt different approaches and often major revamps to accept this fact. Or, like the Perry Mason DTV movies, cease production entirely. We don't know yet what approach will be taken, and we can't even say a hiatus has occurred officially until we receive confirmation.--Tim Thomason 03:22, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
