Second Helping of Sontar!

You wait a week, and two helpings of The Sarah Jane Adventures come along at once! For viewers watching on BBC One tonight there's another chance to see the second part of "The Last Sontaran" (which had its CBBC Channel debut this time last week) It's an episode that a number of viewers - and readers of this site - thought was somewhat...lacking in approach. Here's a selection of feedback we received seven days ago...

Nabu San: "Excellent opener, but still somewhat weaker than Season 1 in some respects. Good use of CGI and visual effects, but there was something...lacking. It can only get better, though! 4/5 overall :D"

Meanwhile, an anonymous reader wrote "Hmm, I love Sarah Jane, but I tohught this episode was too rushed. Not enough time for everything. It needed to be longer to accomodate everything like the emotional scenes, which I feel were cut too short. Though did love the episode and the fact [SPOILER - highlight!] Chrissy finally knows! Yay!"

Later on, once the first adventure has concluded on BBC One, viewers with Freeview and other digital platforms can watch the start of the second - "Day of the Clown", featuring Bradley Walsh - on the CBBC Channel. It begins at 5:15pm.

Don't forget also that the latest Doctor Who Adventures magazine (issue 84) features an interview with Elisabeth Sladen, and a chance to win a model K9! It's out in shops until Thursday.

Leave your thoughts and opinions on tonight's episodes, and - as ever - the best will be published as a preview next week. Result!

The Sarah Jane Adventures, airing on BBC One, Mondays at 4:35pm.

Well ... I Have to admit Maria does tend to be a little too emotional in some scenes (even tho she's leaving) Chrissie is definaltley the funniest ! altho i think as a whole pretty condecending ep and not-so-rocket-sience script

The Day of The clown part one is quite a different yet excellent story it shows the arrival of RANI CHANDRA and her mum and dad(which turns out to be the head of PARK VALE HIGH)!!! the parents combined are excellent also Rani does make an excellent new arrival to the trio I like the whole clown aspect and the museum climax to the 1st part as Bradley walsh turns out to have 4 or 3 forgot pesonalities cant wait for part 2

Wow is Rani too curious for her own good or what? I'm looking forward to next week when she's stops asking questions we already know the anwser to. Also it looks like Clyde was right back in the Lost Boy a couple more months and Luke might just pass for cool. If he keeps up reading those kinds of "encyclopedia". It's a good thing the writers aren't neglecting the fact that he's getting more and more accustomed to the world.

I loved The Last Sontaran. Though it was a nice continuation of The Sontaran Stratagem...and nods to the Doctor are always welcome. Part one of Day of the Clown is suitably creep. Is it just me, or is it odd that they've give the new girl the name of one of the Doctor's old enemeies...Rani?

Oh my lawdys, Day of the Clown was effing BRILLIANT! We're finally back to the classic SJA we know and love! Yaay for Rani! Think she's officially replaced Luke as my favourite character on the show. :D
