The first series of The Sarah Jane Adventures was broadcast following the broadcast of a special 60 minute episode on the 1st January 2007. The season proper aired during the final months of 2007 and consisted of five two-part stories, with each episode running 25 minutes in length (the first time 25-minute episodes have been used in the Doctor Who franchise since the parent series ended in 1989).
