Last Friday, the BBC sent me an email telling me this had been confirmed. *faints* And from the sounds of it, out of all the New Who shows that have done it - this is going to be the biggest and BEST one yet!
What the heck am I talking about?! Well, on the weekend of 24-25 October, the Livepool ONE is playing host to a braingasmic two-day SJA-fest, kicking off with a FREE early cinema screening of the highly-anticipated series three two-parter, The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith! *dies* But wait, there's more...
"Not only will children get to see an episode before anybody else in the country, they will see behind the scenes footage of the making of the series and take part in a question and answer session with stars Tommy Knight who plays Luke Smith, Daniel Anthony who plays Clyde Langer and Anjli Mohindra who plays Rani Chandra.
Alternatively children can drop in to Liverpool ONE shopping centre to take part in a range of free activities. Sarah Jane’s companions including a replica of the Xylok supercomputer Mr Smith, robot dog K-9 plus some of the monsters from the series will be making their debut in Liverpool.
A special green screen experience will allow children to bust monster moves in front of a Sarah Jane virtual screen.
Finally braver volunteers will be transformed into monsters in the alien face painting zone. There will be free giveaways for children taking part in the activities. From Liverpool One, CBBC fans will defend Earth from extraterrestrial threats and alien invaders! "
SARAH-JANE.tv founder, Anthony, and I were amongst the first to get ourselves on the guestlist for a screening last week, which is the only part of the day that needs reservation. Yes, you read that right - I said 'a' screening. There's going to be more than one! *squee!* The rest of the activities are first-come-first-served, though the interactive bits are limited to kids-only.
This is going to be an AMAZING weekend, guys! Seeing SJA on the big screen is a once-in-a-lifetime experience worth paying for, and you'll have the opportunity to see it absolutely free-of-charge...if you're speedy! You can book tickets for the screening here, or drop into the ODEON @ the Liverpool ONE to reserve seats for you and your family! Really hope we see you there. =)

NOooooooooooooooooo! THIS SOUNDS SO FRIGGIN AWESOME BUT IM ON HOLIDAY THEN!! NO!! SJA ON THE BIG SCREEN AND MEETING NABU! :(
Oh well :(
Oh, this totally sucks. It could have been any weekend, but no it had to be that one - the ONE BLOODY WEEKEND I CAN'T MAKE!! Bloody doctors appointment making me go home...
By the way, where can you get the tickets from online? I may see if I can get around the doctors appointment... the link leads to another page on here, I'm probably just being thick but where is the actual link for getting the tickets?
Nabu, you officially are AWESOME.
And I am literally green with jealousy.
Whoopsie daisy... *fixed* Stel, they have it on two days if it's any consolation...?
It says the event is designed for 6-12 year olds, im 14 can I still go?
By the way you ROCK Nabu !

Thanks Nabu, and I'm working on moving the doctor's appointment. Which screening are you going to? Be nice to recognise someone, and not be the only over 18 there.
I'm going to the press one which isn't listed on it, but I may try to sneak into another if there's time and they'll let me!
The age thing is a guideline, I think... I don't think the Beeb will me mean enough to turn people away. But for something this big, it's good to keep your bases covered. BRING AN ADULT.
Well, I don't need to say I hope you enjoy yourself because, let's face it, there's no way you're not going to!! *SQUEE* It's so cool that you get to go to such an exclusive preview!
I think I can get to the 1.30 screening, which should give me time to check out the rest of the activities - anything I should definitely take a look at?
An adult? Oh dear... May have to look into that.
I'll be lingering around all the activities, too - so you'll probably run into me! I'll most likely be in a group of either uberfans or my family, who I'm hopefully bringin' with. My nephew's a bigger SJA fan than I am, if that's humanly possible(!)
I'd recommend the supercomputer activity! Basically sounds like what they did during the See Me On CBBC tour, with a full-set attic recreation featuring Mr Smith!
I applied for tickets at 1.30 on Saturday! I'm so excited, I've got an adult too, so I don't think we'll be turned away. Plus I can usually pass for anything over 12. :D
Nabu, that would be awesome and thanks so much for the tips! It must be great to have family to share this stuff with - none of mine are even DW fans. I will definitely be looking out for that Mr Smith activity!
Sarah, I hope you don't think I'm being really cheeky but if I do book tickets for that show, can I send you my email, and a picture, so if you see me, you can wave me over? Bit nervous about going on my own. And obviously, I can't ask you for a picture, because that's just rude.
I hope that you will take pictures Nabu ! For the ones who can't go ^^
(Sometimes I hate livin' in France !! X3)
It's official. I have applied for tickets 1.30pm Saturday. :D *SQUEE*
Nabu, thank you so so so so much for telling us about it!
Ive already seen the episode. Im Tommy Knights cousin yah seee.
The majority of my SJA mates are going along to the 1.30pm showing too, so I've booked that screening and may see you there! :)
Anonymous - I am supremely jealous.
Nabu - that'd be great, thanks for letting me know!
Anonymous is a lying troll!
Stel- yep that's fine, I don't have any pictures loaded up on this computer anyway. My email is goatsareamazing@hotmail.com
Also I think most people are going at 1.30 on the Saturday, so you're sure to run into someone!
Thanks Sarah - have emailed!
Good luck with receiving your tickets, everyone! :D
Nabu, have all the tickets for Saturday gone already?
By the looks of it, yep they have! Even I didn't expect it to be gone in a day!
In the episod, the doctor is in the limbo and the Trikscietr gels him.
I havent recieved an email :(
with the ticket information, i guess i havent got it :(
You don't get an email with ticket info, you get a confirmation email that says you'll get the tickets through in the post. But a ticket doesn't guarentee a seat - it's first come, first served on the day - you have to get there early!
Anonymous - I'm sorry, I'm not so good with typoes, what did you say?
Actually, when you apply - your name is put on a reservation list. You just go to the screen room with ID and get your name checked off the list in front of them along with your plus one's, and you're in. There won't be physical tickets, not before you get there anyway.
You can take someone with you, even if you've only ordered one ticket?
And what sort of ID do you need?
Sorry to keep posting, but I don't have anyone else to ask these things!
So, if you have booked, you go to in this case the odeon, and state your name. Then you're in ?
Pretty much, Carolynn.
And ideally you should've put down your plus one's when you made your reservations Stel, though you can hope the Beeb are nice enough to let whoever you're bringing in if they have room spare. ID would be anything with your name on it - bank card, drivers licence, uni card. Anything computerised/official looking.
You've made this so much easier to understand, I had no clue :)
Thankyou :)
It doesn't matter - I've sorted it. Thanks Nabu! I agree with CarolynnDUDE, you've made this so much easier to understand!
One last thing - I know, you're probably sick of me by now, but this is the last thing, I promise - the Beeb emailed me with confirmation of my application, and said I should receive tickets - does that mean eTickets or does it just mean, like you said, that I'm on a list that they'll check me on when I get there?
Hopefully see you there! :)
I got the same but they never said I would get the tickets, they said if I was successful I would recieve them, and to be honest I have no clue if I am successful :)
CarolynnDUDE - Same problem here. I can't figure out if that means I'll be contacted again or if I just have to turn up and hope!
It's crazy :) I am going to wait a few days to see if i get any more emails if not it must be turn up and hope for the best :)
I really hope I am able to go :)
I think I'm going to end up doing the same - except I'm going to check my mail here as well, just in case they're sending out the tickets. Cover all bases, that's my motto. And make sure I take ID...
Do you think you might not be able to make it? How come?
I always doubt things :)
Should probably stop doing that, but since there is many Sja fans i imagine it will be packed so I must get there speedy :)
I'm always over-cautious too, it's a handy quality sometimes, believe me.
Which showing are you going to?
And I'm planning to get there half an hour before the doors open, just to make sure I get in. I am NOT missing this.
I couldn't believe the Saturday shows sold out so quickly!!
I'd imagine the email that got sent out is the default template that gets sent to all the events booked on the BBC tickets website. It's a reservation system. You show up, they tick your name off a list. :) The only thing you should be worried about is getting into the Q&A afterwards...that's apparantly on during the 1.30pm showing.
I've had to change the day I'm going anyway - is there a Q&A session on Sunday, does any one know?
Why would they put the Q&A session on at the same time as a showing?
I think it kicks off at 1, so it wasn't intentional. They wanted to have it have it after the private screening. Not sure about the Q&A on Sunday, but the cast are going to be there both days so I'm assuming they'll have another.
Ok, thanks Nabu! I won't see you there, as I'm going on Sunday, but I hope you have a brilliant time - we all know you will!
And the countdown for this afternoon begins...
Four hours and fifteen minutes to go...
I think im going to the Saturday 1.30 one :)
But if thats when the Q&A is on is thier any other way to meet the stars?
