([[DWMSE 23]]) Indeed, the [[BBC One]] [[continuity announcement]] immediately following transmission proclaimed, "That was a taster for a brand new series that comes to [[CBBC]] later this year." Even so, it is frequently called "the pilot" in the fan community, and even occasionally by ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''.

The episode re-introduced [[Sarah Jane Smith]], then-familiar to [[BBC Wales]] audiences after her appearance on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' a few months earlier in ''[[School Reunion (TV story)|School Reunion]]''. Simultaneously, it wrote ''out'' [[K9 Mark IV]], whom audiences would have expected to see with Sarah Jane because of his appearance in the precedent ''Doctor Who'' story. [[Bob Baker]], co-creator and owner of the concept of K9, was interested in getting K9 [[K9 (TV series)|a show of his own]], and so didn't want to dilute enthusiasm for the character by allowing his heavy use in ''The Sarah Jane Adventures''. | The episode re-introduced [[Sarah Jane Smith]], then-familiar to [[BBC Wales]] audiences after her appearance on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' a few months earlier in ''[[School Reunion (TV story)|School Reunion]]''.
