'''Series 2''' of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' ran between [[29 September (releases)|29 September]] [[2008 (releases)|2008]] and [[8 December (releases)|8 December]] 2008. It starred [[Elizabeth Sladen]] as [[Sarah Jane Smith]], [[Tommy Knight]] as [[Luke Smith]], [[Daniel Anthony]] as [[Clyde Langer]], [[Anjli Mohindra]] as [[Rani Chandra]], [[Alexander Armstrong]] as [[Mr Smith]] and [[Yasmin Paige]] as [[Maria Jackson]]. The series opened with ''[[The Last Sontaran (TV story)|The Last Sontaran]]'' and concluded with ''[[Enemy of the Bane (TV story)|Enemy of the Bane]]''. | |||
== Overview == | |||
It consisted of six stories and twelve episodes. It was broadcast in the UK between [[29 September (releases)|29 September]] [[2008 (releases)|2008]] and [[8 December (releases)|8 December]] 2008. The season began with all of the first-series cast (except for [[John Leeson]]'s [[K9 Mark IV|K9]], who did not appear in any regular episodes). A major cast change occurred after the first two-part story. [[Yasmin Paige]] left the series and was replaced by [[Anjli Mohindra]] as [[Rani Chandra]]. References to Maria, including flashback footage and photos, were incorporated into the other stories. Paige herself returned for a guest appearance in ''[[The Mark of the Berserker (TV story)|The Mark of the Berserker]]''. | |||
The season was notable for the return of [[Nicholas Courtney]] as Sir [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. This was his first appearance (on screen) since the independent film [[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Downtime (home video)|Downtime]]'' in 1995 and the first time in a BBC production since [[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'' in [[1989 (releases)|1989]]. [[UNIT]] also made its first on-screen appearance in the spin-off. | |||
Several months after the season ended, the cast -- including K9 in his only series 2 appearance -- reunited in ''[[From Raxacoricofallapatorius | Returning villains include the [[Bane (Invasion of the Bane)|Bane]] and [[The Trickster]] and [[Krislok]], who is revealed to have been saved from death in exchange for serving the Trickster, and later freed from his servitude to the Trickster. The [[Sontaran]]s appear for the first time in the spin-off in an episode that is a direct sequel to the ''Doctor Who'' [[Series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 4]] two-parter ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]''/''[[The Poison Sky (TV story)|The Poison Sky]]''. | ||
Several months after the season ended, the cast -- including K9 in his only series 2 appearance -- reunited in ''[[From Raxacoricofallapatorius with Love (TV story)|From Raxacoricofallapatorius With Love]]'', a mini-episode produced for the [[2009 (releases)|2009]] Comic Relief Red Nose Day appeal. | |||
Interestingly, in the promotional wallpaper featuring the series 2 cast, this would be the only time that Mr. Smith would get some type of his own promotional image as a primary cast member. | Interestingly, in the promotional wallpaper featuring the series 2 cast, this would be the only time that Mr. Smith would get some type of his own promotional image as a primary cast member. | ||
