If you've ever read the Torchwood.tv page then you'll be familar with my "25 Questions" - a short (just for fun) quiz I ran before Torchwood aired on BBC Three, where I asked readers to predict certain elements from the forthcoming series.

Well now it's back - only this time the quiz has shifted to "The Sarah Jane Adventures".

Dare you leave your answers? Remember, it's just for fun; and once the series has aired I'll post the answers here so you can see just how many you got right. Let's begin...

2: What time slot will the series occupy?

4: How many episodes (if any) will K9 appear in?

5: The Bane; will they return?

6: Do you think any "classic series" monsters from Doctor Who will appear?

7: If so, what exactly?

8: What rating will the first episode achieve?

9: Will Kelsey appear in the full series?

10: How many "Doctor Who" references will there be?

11: How many "K9 and Company" references will there be?

12: Will Sarah-Jane have a romance in the series?

13: Will any other characters form a relationship?

14: Do you think the series will end on a cliffhanger? If so, what?

1: What date will the full SJA series premiere?
The beginning of June, when I'm back in the country and can see it!

Five o clock on a weekday.

3: Will the series debut of the CBBC Channel (a la "MIHigh")
Yup.

4: How many episodes (if any) will K9 appear in?
None!

5: The Bane; will they return?
Only Mrs Wormwood. She'll be in reduced circumstances, like Margaret Slitheen in Boom Town.

6: Do you think any "classic series" monsters from Doctor Who will appear?
It's not impossible...

7: If so, what exactly?
Some kind of androids... or Sontarans...

8: What rating will the first episode achieve?
A pretty good one.

9: Will Kelsey appear in the full series?
Yes, but not every episode.

Very few blatant ones, and lots of subtle ones for the hardcore fans.

11: How many "K9 and Company" references will there be?
About five over the season.

12: Will Sarah-Jane have a romance in the series?
She and Alan will flirt, but nothing will happen, at least not yet.

Kelsey might get a boyfriend.

Cool people.

18: Is "Mister Smith" all that he seems?
Yes!

19: Will there be any crossovers with "Doctor Who" / "Torchwood"?
Definitely not with Torchwood, can you imagine? The parents would go crazy... Maybe as a charity special. I'd love to see what Sarah and Jack would make of each other...

20: Finally, will the series be recommissioned for a second season?
YES, please God...

1: What date will the full SJA series premiere? Sometime in June

2: What time slot will the series occupy? 5pm

3: Will the series debut of the CBBC Channel (a la "MIHigh") Probably

4: How many episodes (if any) will K9 appear in? 1 or 2

5: The Bane; will they return? Bound to

6: Do you think any "classic series" monsters from Doctor Who will appear? I hope so

7: If so, what exactly? Sontarans seem a likely choice, but anything SJ was involved with

8: What rating will the first episode achieve? Stratopheric

9: Will Kelsey appear in the full series? I hope not

10: How many "Doctor Who" references will there be? I should think they'll drop a few in each episode to keep the fans happy

11: How many "K9 and Company" references will there be? None I hope

12: Will Sarah-Jane have a romance in the series? I think there will be indications, but nothing definite

13: Will any other characters form a relationship? It's not usual for a kid's show

14: Do you think the series will end on a cliffhanger? Don't they always? If so, what? Impossible to say at this stage

15: How much coverage will DWM give the series? A few articles, reviews of episodes

16: Will there be any novels? I do hope so

17: If so, who will write them? Wonderfully telented people (well we can always hope...)

18: Is "Mister Smith" all that he seems? Not sure

19: Will there be any crossovers with "Doctor Who" / "Torchwood"? There was an oblique reference to Torchwood in the pilot, only noticeable to fans. Can't think they would do anything more than that with an adult show. Doctor Who would be good

20: Finally, will the series be recommissioned for a second season? If the pilot is anything to go by, it better be!

1: What date will the full SJA series premiere?

Assuming Torchwood series two starts in late October and Doctor Who will probably end in July... I think possibly Fri. July 20th

2: What time slot will the series occupy?

The same one as MIHigh - 5pm

3: Will the series debut of the CBBC Channel (a la "MIHigh")

It very well could

4: How many episodes (if any) will K9 appear in?

Either none, or 4ish. Depending on K-9 Adventures being made or not.

5: The Bane; will they return?

Yes... or at least Mrs. Wormwood

6: Do you think any "classic series" monsters from Doctor Who will appear?

Maybe

7: If so, what exactly?

Perhaps the Ice Warriors will be SJA and not Who!

8: What rating will the first episode achieve?

1.9 million - lowish by general standards but great by CBBC standards

9: Will Kelsey appear in the full series?

Unfortunately, yes, there has to be an obligatory "annoying kid".

10: How many "Doctor Who" references will there be?

Loads of really minor ones every week

11: How many "K9 and Company" references will there be?

12, I dunno why the number just jumped at me.

12: Will Sarah-Jane have a romance in the series?

13: Will any other characters form a relationship?

Yes but it will turn sour when the person she likes turns out to be a baddie

14: Do you think the series will end on a cliffhanger? If so, what?

Yes, as to what I have no idea.

15: How much coverage will DWM give the series?

Not a lot, but at least some coverage.

16: Will there be any novels?

Probably, but they'll be lighter than the Doctor Who novels. Aimed at 4-8 year olds instead of 8-12 year olds.

17: If so, who will write them?

Gareth Roberts

18: Is "Mister Smith" all that he seems?

No, he's much more. The website even hints at it.

19: Will there be any crossovers with "Doctor Who" / "Torchwood"?

Not in the first series. Maybe in the second. Unless we get to see a classic character- I'd love to see the Brigadier!

20: Finally, will the series be recommissioned for a second season?

Unfortunately I think there is a 60/40 percent it won't. I hope I'm wrong and the odds are better!!

4: How many episodes (if any) will K9 appear in? The last two

5: The Bane; will they return? Yes.

6: Do you think any "classic series" monsters from Doctor Who will appear? Not right off.

11: How many "K9 and Company" references will there be? 0

12: Will Sarah-Jane have a romance in the series? No

14: Do you think the series will end on a cliffhanger? If so, what? No

15: How much coverage will DWM give the series? Lots!

16: Will there be any novels? Again, aimed at a younger reading market, yes. I found a K9 journal in Asda that is quite sweet ... actually, why on Earth didnt i buy it and do a real post? I am such a twit some days.

17: If so, who will write them? I am starting the campaign here and now for my mate Pete Kempshall to do one! He has written for Bernice Summerfield already.

18: Is "Mister Smith" all that he seems? I can safley say no. I have met him after all ;-)

19: Will there be any crossovers with "Doctor Who" / "Torchwood"? DW, possibly, TW no chance. They cant risk actively getting younger viewers, to watch TW

20: Finally, will the series be recommissioned for a second season? Yeah, they have invested a lot of cash to make the studio at Upperboat and cant see them doing that for anything too short term.
