Greeks Bearing Sarah

This evening, children's magazine show "Blue Peter" aired a special preview of the forthcoming "Sarah Jane Adventures" special - and during the preview, a number of new clips were unleased upon the British viewing public for the very first time.

...MUST...RESIST...LESBIAN...JOKE...

One of the clips featured an alien very similar to the one seen in "Greeks Bearing Gifts" (you know the one - the lesbian, Mary). During the short preview, Sarah-Jane Smith is seen talking to the creature, as young Maria - her neighbour - watches on in astonishment.

It would seem that, like the "Cyberwoman", the BBC Wales production team are attempting a sort of inter-series link. From what I've heard, this is not so much a crossover, as much as a 'special appearence'. I don't believe the alien plays any other part in the SJA episode.

But there's only one way to be absolutely sure, isn't there...?

The Sarah Jane Adventures airs on Monday January 1st at 4:25pm on BBC One. You can keep up with all the latest news by visiting Torchwood.TV's sister site, Sarah-jane.tv, here.

If I was cynical, I'd say this entire post has been one long advertisement for my new blog...

Lucky thing I'm not then, isn't it?

If your new blog should become popular and get lots of hits, it should be based on its own merits, and not only because of all the links to it you have put on this site.

Perhaps, but as the new blog gets off the ground I don't see anything wrong with the author advertising it here given that most of the target readership are probably also going to be avid viewers of TW...

Well, those viewers of TW who don't have jobs and stuff anyway. MEH.
