In [[2006]], Children's BBC expressed an interest in producing a ''Doctor Who'' spin-off. Their initial idea was "a drama based on the idea of a young Doctor Who", but Russell T. Davies vetoed this. "Somehow, the idea of a fourteen-year-old [[Doctor]], on [[Gallifrey]] inventing [[sonic screwdriver]]s, takes away from the mystery and intrigue of who he is and where he came from," said Davies. He suggested instead a series based on the Doctor's former [[companion]] Sarah Jane Smith. | In [[2006]], Children's BBC expressed an interest in producing a ''Doctor Who'' spin-off.

The character of Sarah Jane, played by Sladen, appeared in ''Doctor Who'' from [[1973]] to [[1976]], alongside [[Jon Pertwee]] as the [[Third Doctor]], and later [[Tom Baker]] as the [[Fourth Doctor]]. A pilot for another ''Doctor Who'' spin-off series, ''[[K-9 and Company]]'', made in [[1981]], featured Sarah Jane and the robot dog [[K-9]]; however, the option to make a series was not picked up. Sarah Jane and K-9 returned to ''Doctor Who'' in various media many times over the years, most notably in the 20th anniversary special ''[[The Five Doctors]]'' (1983) and in the 2006 episode ''[[School Reunion]]'' -- both of which acknowledged the existence of ''K-9 and Company'' within the canon of the Whoniverse by showing Sarah Jane in possession of K-9 as established in the 1981 pilot episode. Reports of a spin-off series first appeared around the time of "School Reunion"'s original airing, with the series having the working title of ''Sarah Jane Investigates''. | The character of Sarah Jane, played by Sladen, appeared in ''Doctor Who'' from [[1973]] to [[1976]], alongside [[Jon Pertwee]] as the [[Third Doctor]], and later [[Tom Baker]] as the [[Fourth Doctor]].
