The full figures are out for the SJA on CBBC and it reached an all time high for the channel! The final ep garnered an incredible 659,000 viewers - the highest CBBC has ever reached!
Of the top ten shows rated for the whole year, The Sarah-Jane Adventures takes 8 of the places with both parts of The Lost Boy, Warriors of Kudlak and Whatever Happened to Sarah-Jane, with the second halves of Revenge of the Slitheen and Eye of the Gorgon. Places 9 & 10 went to MI High.
Eye of the Gorgon part 1 creeps in at number 13.
Since launch, the highest ratings on the channel are the SJA "The Lost Boy - Part 2", followed by "Whatever Happened... Part 2" ... and then silly old "Tracy Beaker"
So wake up Aunty Beeb! Give us word on a second and equally brilliant series!

It is curious that the Beeb haven't made an announcement on the second series yet.
They could just be waiting out the Christmas market (and may use the news of series two to promote "Voyage of the Damned")
They could equally have decided not to renew the series, and we won't hear about this until the end of January at the earliest (it'd damage the Christmas Doctor Who and the launch of Torchwood II)
Or, more likely, what with all the changes to Children's Television at the BBC right now, the corporation hasn't fully made its mind up on what to do with the show next...
One way or the other, it's a great show with great ratings, and deserves more time to develop on television!
They could have given it the green light, and the stars know about it - but they haven't released any PR for it, yet. Use your industry contacts guys(!) :D
And I'm ecstatic that the series has done so well! Then again, did we ever have any doubts that it WOULDN'T be awesome?! I have faith in the BBC, they'll do what's right - and if they don't, we can always give them a gentle nudge. I just hope we can watch Season 2 this time, next year - if not earlier.
Shame we don't get a New Years Day episode.
