For gods sake, I thought this wiki was protected? Are no articles even the main page protected? That penis picture posted by "Jenny" messed up this article, theres no series 1 section anymore! --79.73.123.156 10:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes there is --Dark Lord Xander 10:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering - In Invasion of The Bane Mrs Wornwood said that Luke had the strengths and weaknesses of 10000 people. He has the brain of 10000 people shouldn't he have the pysical strength of 10000 people as well

Note he has the strengths AND weaknesses of 10,000 people, so they may cancel each other out and leave him with an average physique. 83.100.249.195^{talk to me} 22:15, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Request for help

Can an admin please add this? I am a new user and do not have permission:

No announcements have been made about the future of The Sarah Jane Adventures after Sladen's death, though at least half of Series 5 is known to have been filmed and edited possibly meaning it to air and be released on DVD.

Page needs updating

The BBC has announced the final season begins airing on Oct. 3, 2011. The last paragraph of the introduction needs to be updated accordingly. 68.146.80.110 14:08, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Updating pretty well complete. This page has now been thoroughly rewritten so as to reflect this show's status as a concluded programme.

Continuity

This continuity section originally appeared in the article, but it doesn't belong there. This is info for the individual episode pages. Preserved here so that people can ensure that it gets to the proper pages. It should not go back into this article, however.

"The Kids" section

I have some issues with the "Kids" section. It makes it seem like there's a great mystery as to why Yasmin left the series, yet it was widely reported that she left in order to focus on school. The reason for the removal of Kelsey Hooper from the series has also been reported. There's no great mystery. And it makes it seem like Tommy Knight left against his will. The whole thing smacks of (if I may steal Wikipedia terminology) NPOV violation. I suggest either deleting it or revising it heavily. 68.146.80.110 03:08, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Wow, NPOV, really? The thing was written to carefully avoid that, by repeatedly saying that we don't actually have any official statements why any of these actors left the production. And the bit about Tommy Knight goes out of its way to say that the appearance was that his reduction in role was "amenable to both the production team and Knight himself".

I'd love to revise the section heavily, but I'm not sure we have any solid evidence on which to base such revisions. You intimate that there were wide reports. Let's find them and integrate them into the site. I couldn't find anything official from the BBC, though.

Incidentally, I think it is a bit of a mystery why Yasmin left. I personally have heard, on the unreputable Gallifrey Base, a number of theories, from the benign one you suggest (which doesn't really square with her subsequent appearances in other projects), to the idea that she was forced out when her mother started making demands that she get second billing to Lis Sladen.

Point is, we need some actual sources here. Rewrite the section, fine, but the "revolving kids" are an important part of the development of SJA. We need the section in some, better-sourced form.

Section Missing

Anyone notice someone's deleted the section that featured links to the individual Season articles? Just sayin'. 68.146.80.110 21:27, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Don't need such a section in light of the navbox at the bottom. The navbox does more than the section ever could, by being a complete link to not only every series, but every serial as well.
