Episodes Of The DR. WHO SpinOff THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES Appear On YouTube!!

You do know TSJA is intended for kids, right? by SpyGuy	Sep 27th, 2007 08:52:44 AM
The next thing you know, we'll start seeing demands for a HANNAH MONTANA talkback.
Not sure... by kbass	Sep 27th, 2007 08:54:09 AM
that we need another Dr. Who spinoff after Torchwood. Although I enjoy the show it's gets a little thin after you get away from the central character of the Doctor.
The point, kbass, by raw_bean	Sep 27th, 2007 09:13:47 AM
is that Torchwood is for the grown-up Who fans to get a fix of more serious stories, while SJA is for the kiddies to get something that won't terrify or bore them. That said, I'm sure there're grown-up Who fans who're interested enough that they'll be grateful for Herc putting this up, SpyGuy.
When I was a lad.... by eyeball22	Sep 27th, 2007 09:23:39 AM
Sarah Jane was pure w@nkfodder.... Those were the days...
TSJA is the anti-Torchwood by Purple Prole	Sep 27th, 2007 09:24:43 AM
Where Torchwood is meant to be the adult spin-off of Doctor Who, a show that kiddies aren't supposed to watch, but invariably do due to suitably relaxed parenting. TSJA is meant to be the kid's version that grown-ups aren't supposed to watch, but invariably do because we're all just big kids really. For what it was TSJA was a good prog. Well made, well paced, fun. And the Slitheen, rubbish monsters in Doctor Who, were far better placed here. That is to say, farting is funny when used in the correct timeslot.
She still is, eyeball22 by Meglos	Sep 27th, 2007 09:44:56 AM
At least to me.
spyguy by INWOsuxRED	Sep 27th, 2007 09:53:10 AM
another show aimed at kids is called doctor who. So is every film made by Pixar. So are the Spider-man movies...
when is Herc going to start calling this season 2? by INWOsuxRED	Sep 27th, 2007 09:53:44 AM
because we all know "K-9 and company" was season 1, right?
You're right Meglos.. by eyeball22	Sep 27th, 2007 10:00:37 AM
Just watched the clips, damn, she still has her figure... I'm just going up to my room for a bit...
Screw Sarah Jane, give us Blake's 7 by Mr Squirrel	Sep 27th, 2007 10:11:25 AM
Before Avon needs a stanna stairlift.
Dr Who = Amazing Slitheen however, = bollocks by Seph_J	Sep 27th, 2007 10:34:43 AM
Thats about all I have to say about that.
INWOsuxRED:DR.WHO is aimed at the family, not just kids by SpyGuy	Sep 27th, 2007 10:35:28 AM
TORCHWOOD is intended for adults and older kids, DOCTOR WHO is intended for the entire family (kids and adults), and THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES is intended for kids. It's not that hard, really.
Better than many episodes of Who by performingmonkey	Sep 27th, 2007 11:13:41 AM
Hopefully now we've got a kids show they won't feel the need to go too kiddie in Doctor Who. Although I suppose season 3 was the least kiddie so far, even though it was full of shit episodes like '42' and 'The Lazarus Experiment'.
Dr Who is the kiddy show by papabendi	Sep 27th, 2007 11:43:33 AM
meant to scare the shit out of kids a certain age. Kids are probably to decensitised these days. I remember cowarding under a hosptal bed during 'Pyramids of Mars' when I was 6.
Evil? Your evil is my good. by kwisatzhaderach	Sep 27th, 2007 12:12:47 PM
I am Sutekh the Destroyer, Where I tread I leave nothing but dust and darkness. I find that good.
I'm back by papabendi	Sep 27th, 2007 12:32:54 PM
under that bed.
is this legally sanctioned by the BBC? by punto	Sep 27th, 2007 12:59:50 PM
because if not, why not just post a link to the torrent?
Any Word on When TSJA Will Air in USA? by Deandome	Sep 27th, 2007 01:16:33 PM
My 6y.o. likes the Doctor...I'm sure he'd love this. But youtube ain't gonna fly. Can we expect it on BBC America soon?
BBC and Youtube by EPE	Sep 27th, 2007 02:15:55 PM
Actually the Beeb and Youtube have an agreement, so you can watch Who, Torchwood, TSJA and other Beeb shows on Youtube instead of paying through the nose for DVDs or waiting for them to pop up on Sci Fi or BBC America. So yes, it is legal. I wouldn't expect to ever see TSJA in the US, unless Canada picks it up and you can watch it over the border.
Trik_Ster: No probably about TORCHWOOD on Sci Fi by SpyGuy	Sep 27th, 2007 02:48:10 PM
TORCHWOOD is already airing on BBC America, so Sci Fi probably wouldn't want sloppy seconds on a British import...or thirds if you count the original BBC transmission. "Adult content" may not be an issue, however. The network did air LEXX and TRIPPING THE RIFT once upon a time, and Skiffy could simply chop out the more sensitive bits and insert more in-house commercials for their craptacular FLASH GORDON series.
Bring Back Sally Sparrow!!! by wowsah156	Sep 27th, 2007 04:19:51 PM
We all know RTD is a pigs bollock. And the hideous Catherine Tate character needs to be kiiled horribly soon and replaced by Sally Sparrow from the "Blink" episode. RTD has sexualised The Doctor to the detriment of his true asexual alien character.
I'll second the Sally Sparrow request...... by hansello	Sep 27th, 2007 04:47:41 PM
Not looking forward to missing season 4 of Who next year. Is Catherine Tate really going to be in every episode!!! It's not too late, change her role. Perhaps she could just play a mysterious stranger who appears in the background of every episode (but doesn't speak) then in the very last episode she reveals herself to be slightly important, but explains everything within 2 minutes. By doing this the Doctor would have no choice but to select one of the shows most promising companions-to-be, the one and only, Sally Sparrow. Oh, and they'd be room for Martha when she returns. Hate the Tate.
Yes Tate will be in all the season 4 episodes... by V'Shael	Sep 27th, 2007 05:27:30 PM
I think RTD is adopting a scorched earth policy. He's loving the cred he's getting for resurrecting the show, and doesn't want his successor to show that anyone else can do the job. I mean, the characters and aliens RTD creates (and the script he writes) are sub-par, compared to the ones done by Moffat, for example. I'm sure that grates against RTD's enormous ego.
I thought Who was aimed at preteens while TSJA by Yeti	Sep 27th, 2007 06:49:59 PM
are aimed at the under 10 set. Torchwood is aimed at adults (more or less)
Glad to see Sarah's alive and well by EldradMustLive	Sep 27th, 2007 08:30:54 PM
Just watched her original Doctor Who swan song "The Hand of Fear" on dvd last night. The dvd has a great doc on the Sarah Jane Smith years of Who, plus some good archival footage of Elisabeth Sladen and Tom Baker on some random British kid call in show.
K9 GOTTA EAT.... by Super Moo	Sep 27th, 2007 08:38:27 PM
...Sarah's naughty parts
Torchwood is also on HDNET by INWOsuxRED	Sep 27th, 2007 09:14:46 PM
in actual HD, so that would be two outlets that air it before sci-fi. Also, it isn't terribly good, not that that would stop sci-fi. Does Sarah Jane air in HD in England?
another vote for Sally Sparrow by kabong	Sep 27th, 2007 10:50:09 PM
What I learned from this msg brd: Sutekh is the kwisatz haderach. Now it all makes sense to my un-mentat brain.
wowsah156 by Lost Jarv	Sep 28th, 2007 04:42:28 AM
that is fucking hysterical. Pig's Bollock indeed.
and another vote for Sally Sparraw by Lost Jarv	Sep 28th, 2007 04:43:25 AM
actually, I'd rather The doctor had a fucking slitheen for a sidekick than Catherine Face-like-a-bag-of-smashed-cra bs Tate.
shuttlepod_10 by kwisatzhaderach	Sep 28th, 2007 05:49:28 AM
Doctor Who is still on because it's the best and longest running science-fiction programme in the history of the world, one of the 3 or 4 highest rated shows currently airing here in the UK and winner of BAFTAs and Hugos galore.
Can't argue with those stats, kwisatzhaderach. by SkidMarkedUndies	Sep 28th, 2007 08:10:16 AM
Who is science fiction gold, my friend.
I hope Donna will be the first new WHO companion to die by SpyGuy	Sep 28th, 2007 08:19:52 AM
Thankfully, Martha's coming back halfway through Series Four, so here's hoping the season finale ends with Donna being exterminated by Davros or the Rani or whoever the new Big Bad turns out to be. We really need someone else to bust on because all those Adric jokes became stale years ago.
My teacher is a Dalek! by Tiki-421	Sep 28th, 2007 08:49:48 AM
ED-U-CATE! ED-U-CATE! ED-U-CATE!!!
Tate isn't worth killing by INWOsuxRED	Sep 28th, 2007 10:21:01 AM
It makes it harder to comment about how much they suck when they die because people feel bad about it. Just get rid of her.
