Series 4 of The Sarah Jane Adventures is expected to air on BBC One and CBBC on the 11th October 2010[1][2]. According to Doctor Who Magazine, pre-production was under way as early as November 2009. On 4 March 2010, the BBC officially announced that production had been commissioned, with filming expected to begin by the end of March. (The same announcement also confirmed that a 5th series for 2011 had also been commissioned.)[3][4]

The 4th season will see the return of all the core cast members (though the 4 March 2010 announcement did not indicate whether K9 would appear, K9 was seen on set when filming began) for a 12-episode series. The series begins on Monday 11 October, 2010.

For the new series, Brian Minchin joins as producer, with Phil Ford as co-producer. Russell T Davies remains as executive producer along with Nikki Wilson.

  2. Hooded figures with alien guns walking away from a burning barn or warehouse with Clyde running away in the background.
  3. Luke turning around on the drive of 13 Bannerman Road.
  4. Clyde surrendering then running from a giant one eyed yellow robot on what looks like a human high street.
  5. The Doctor and Sarah Jane in a corridor
  6. The Shansheeth climbing through a ventilation system.
  7. Rani being cornered by a giant red robot similar to one chasing Clyde.
  8. Clyde being thrown across a room by a large explosion.
  • A synopisis has been realeased for Death of the Doctor: "When the Doctor is declared dead, old companions Sarah Jane and Jo Grant meet for the very first time, and join forces to discover the truth. As an interstellar conspiracy gathers around UNIT HQ, Clyde finds that he holds the fate of the Time Lord in his hand – quite literally."
  • A clip was shown of Death of the Doctor on TMi featuring Jo Grant, Sarah Jane, Rani, Clyde, the Shansheeth and an unamed boy.

Novels

As of August 2010 only two stories from this series has been announced for adaptation as a novelisation.

  • The Nightmare Man[16]
  • Death of the Doctor[17]

Rumours

  • Gareth Roberts may write an hour long special. [14]
  • On-set videos show Luke saying goodbye to Sarah Jane and the rest of the cast, making it likely that he will leave in this series to be replaced by the new character of Series 5. Alexander Armstrong has also said that Luke goes off to university, and that K-9 leaves with him.[18] However, onset videos of Tommy Knight during the series finale suggest otherwise.
