Been sitting on this for aboot a fortnight, but seeing as Tommy Knight's website has chosen to make it public - I think it's time the rest of the SJA fan community heard the squee-worthy news!
Seems David Tennant won't be the only Who-star to be making an appearance on Comic Relief next month. Elisabeth Sladen, Tommy Knight, Anjli Mohindra and Daniel Anthony will be reunited next Thursday when they film a special SJA spot for the big Comic Relief broadcast on March 13th!
Details regarding the plot are rather sketchy. However, SARAH-JANE.tv can exclusively reveal that the short will feature a well-known comedian and an attack by Rednosicles(!) Yeah, I know... I can see you rolling your eyes! But give it a chance, it'll be aweshum. Plus it's a good opportunity for the cast to get back into the SJA groove prior to filming the third series, and have a little fun with their characters while they're at it! Cannae wait!
In other news, an autobiography by our very own Lis Sladen was listed on Amazon.co.uk recently! Due to be released next March and published by Aurum Press Ltd, the 320 page tome of Sladenosity claims to "tell the story of her remarkable career." The publication will come hot on the heels of SJA concluding its third, and possibly final, series - so Lis couldn't have found a more perfect time to ride the wave of the show's popularity.
No doubt the release will warrant a lavish book signing; and SARAH-JANE.tv will, as ever, endeavour to attend to report back to our readers.
On a minor note, actress Anjli Mohindra [Rani] has taken to answering all your burning questions on Doctor Who Online! Get in there while you can!

DOCTOR WHO NEWS :
Legendary comedian, Ronnie Corbett, has been confirmed as a guest star for a special Red Nose Day version of the highly acclaimed The Sarah Jane Adventures.
BBC Wales are recording a one-off mini adventure to air on Comic Relief - Funny for Money airing on Friday 13 March BBC1 from 7pm.
The top rating children's drama comes from the makers of Doctor Who and stars Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith.
Executive Producer Russell T Davies said, "It's an honour to get involved with Red Nose Day, and with Ronnie Corbett, K-9 and an old enemy's return, we can promise Sarah Jane Smith's most extraordinary adventure yet!"
The BAFTA-nominated series sees Sarah Jane and the gang getting caught in a mysterious world of chases, danger, and monsters from outer space. The show has a huge following in its teatime slot on BBC One and the CBBC channel and the BBC Wales team are delighted to be contributing to Red Nose Day for a one-off mini adventure
Written by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman it also stars Tommy Knight, Daniel Anthony and Anjli Mohindra. A third series of The Sarah Jane Adventures will go into production shortly.
Ah, with a month to go the BBC finally chooses to break the news! Wonderful :) Ronnie's appearance is a surprise to me, this is going to be FANTASTIC!
"third possibly final, series?"
I didn't realize SJA was a finite show.
Is this a contract situation or was it always meant to be only three seasons?
I will be *quite* disappointed if SJA is concluded so quickly.
Well the kids [and even Lis] are growing up, and according to jack's sources the show was indeed always intended to have three seasons. Check out the bottom of this entry:

It is a darn shame, I could very well see the show going on till atleast a fourth series! But nothing's set in stone, so you never know.
Well that's a bummer! When SJS showed up in School Reunion, I realized that her absence was quite possibly one of the main reasons I lost interest in Dr. Who to begin with.
Three seasons of SJA just isn't enough. There *has* to be a way for this series to continue in some fashion!
