Hooray for the BBC Press Office who've today added a new article that covers the whole of the second season of The Sarah Jane Adventures! There's a complete rundown of the airdates for all twelve episodes (episode one, btw, kicks off Monday September 29th) as well as a description of new girl Rani Chandra (played by the lovely Anjli Mohindra) and her parents Gita and Haresh. Did you know, for example, that Haresh is the new Head Teacher of Park Vale High School? Noooooo? Well... now you do!
There's also four synopsis covering the show's opening two adventures - look away now if you're of the spoilerphobe variety!
The Last Sontaran
By Phil Ford, Directed By Joss Agnew
Part One - Reports of strange lights around the Tycho Radio Telescope lead Sarah Jane, Luke, Clyde and Maria into a terrifying forest encounter – and Sarah Jane comes face to face with her oldest enemy. Meanwhile Maria wrestles with a huge decision when her dad is offered a new job in America.
Part Two - Sarah Jane and the gang have only 40 minutes to save Earth as Sontaran Commander Kaagh plots to bring the world's orbiting satellites crashing down on nuclear installations across the world. And Maria's Mum finally gets to the truth from Alan – but will they be in time to save Maria?
The Day Of The Clown
By Phil Ford, Directed By Michael Kerrigan
Part One - New girl in Bannerman Road, Rani Chandra, is being haunted by a sinister clown – does it have anything to do with the local children that have gone missing? When Clyde's friend disappears the trail leads them to a strange circus museum – and the legend of the Pied Piper!
Part Two - Sarah Jane's investigation into Spellman and Odd Bob the Clown takes her to a meteorite at the Pharos Institute. But Spellman's plot to make all of Park Vale's pupils vanish leads Sarah Jane into a confrontation with her own childhood fears in a bid to save Luke.
Hands up, who couldn't possibly be more excited right now? Well, if that's the case - if you're the sort of person who worships the ground that Sarah Jane Smith walks upon - then you've a job to do! These next couple of weeks leading up to the premiere, it's time you help promote the show to all your friends and family. Hell, anybody that'll listen! Remember, this isn't a kid's show (despite its timeslot) but the sort of family orientated show that's currently missing from the British television schedule. You have a duty, in the name of good drama and the Whoniverse, to make the British public open their eyes to what they may be missing!!
Okay, rant over...

I absolutely LOVE the press release. It's chock full of spoilers and new promo pics!!! And it also confirms the airdate, which is brilliant. The characters of Haresh and Gita Chandra sound great, and I can't WAIT to see them in the second series! I'm really feelin' the buzz!
Hear, hear! I totally agree with everything in the above statement. ;) I'm sooo excited!!
*happy, happy, joy, joy* :)
So Rani likes both Luke and Clyde for different reasons. With Mr.Chandry not liking Clyde bad influence... why do I get the feeling we're about the enter a rani/luke vs rani/clyde shipping war.
Ps. Clyde likes art? Apparently there's more to this streetwise cool kid who's smarter than he looks than we thought.
Picked up on exactly the same things! Looks like Clyde has quite a bit of depth :D And lol, the description of Rani does put across a rather love triangle-ish situation, eh? I think I'll be a Rani/Clyde shipper myself. Can't wait to see the friction!
Can't wait for the new episodes. I've got a blog site (arschelmtardis.blogspot.com) where I review Doctor Who, Torchwood and SJA. I started SJA before I decided to take a break. but to get ready for Series 2, I'll be rewatching the rest of Series 1 and posting new reviews on my blogsite so if anyone wants to read and give me some feedback, that would be awsome.
But Series 2 without Maria?? That's gonna take some getting used to.
I hope that they repeat the episodes at the weekend so that I can watch them, as I will be at work when the episodes air originally.
How dare the BBC show a children's show during working hours. LOL.
