SJA's been passed up for an award at the Children's BAFTA's for a second year running *sob* Not even the shows closest competitor, Dustbin Baby, made the cut. Against all odds or sense of reason, a Welsh TV movie called Rhestr Nadolig Wil [Wil's Christmas List] scooped up the award instead. *sulk*
That's the second time I've seen a Welsh show beat out SJA, there's some sort of agenda going on - I'm sure of it xP Then again, from the description of the story - it does sound rather interesting, even though it hasn't made it over to England yet [I think]. SJA had the chance to get voted in under the Television category of the BAFTA Kid's Vote, but that too got yoinked away from them - by Disney Channel's Hannah Montana, no less! To add insult to injury, for the first time in two years - CBBC's been hoisted from its position as Channel of the Year and replaced with *bites lip* Nick Jr! Gah(!) Not a good haul at all...
I've been informed that Tom, Dan and Anj weren't attending - not sure about Lis, though. She doesn't seem to be in the gallery section of the BAFTA website, so I assume a producer or writer would've accepted the award on the show's behalf - if they'd won :( Better luck next year with series three, I s'pose. Fingers crossed 2010 is the year that SJA finally gets a win!
In other news, a report on Memorabilia is forthcoming! Been over a week since the event, I know - but I've had a lousy cold these past few days, which I may or may not have caught off one of the SJA trio in Birmingham last Sunday! I really need to stop hugging people the moment I meet them. =P Stay tuned!

it was a series two nomination, so I can see the logic of the loss - but Dustbin Baby shouldve won!
The Wedding of Sarah Jane should really give it a good run next time then hopefully! And the Gift amongst younger viewers.
Yeah, I'm definitely hoping for a Gift nomination. No doubt Gareth Roberts will get another nomination next year though, but with two years of losses, maybe it's time they persued another writer to represent the series at these award shows. It'll probably be Wedding though, due to the appearance by the Doctor.
I don't believe this - Series 2 may not be everyone's favourite but it's certainly more worthy than *Shudder* an American girl with two different hair do's!
As for next year - as much as I loved The Gift, I hope it's Wedding that gets nominated - more chance it would win. *Shakes head* What is TV coming to these days...
I think that after this season they really deserve to win next year. Season 3 was outstanding television and could easily contend with many adult series.
Something I noticed about the Wedding today (kind of having a S3 marathon) - when K9 is leaving Luke's room to warn them about Travus Polong (that's probably not spelt) there is a chess board on/under Luke's table in the back of the shot. But then in The Eternity Trap, Rani says her Dad has taught Luke how to play, implying he couldn't before - why have a chess board if you can't play?
Does anyone know when sja s3 is on DVD is october or january?
There's also a hidden skateboard in Luke's room :P Why have one when he can't ride it to save his life? Maybe 'cause he wants to learn :P I'd be hard pressed to believe Luke wouldn't know how to play something as simple as Chess, though. Maybe he's being considerate toward his future father-in-law ;)
Rani likes Clyde though. When they're sitting in class and Clyde says 'you love me really' 'dream on Clyde, dream on' but then Rani gives him a little smile. :)
The Gift was my favourite episode, but I think if just one episode does get nominated next time, it'll be the Wedding, because the BBC advertised the first part so much.
'Sarah Jane Adventures', the whole show, should have a good chance of winning next year.
:P
I think Rani might like Clyde, but she wouldn't ever manage to make something work - her Dad would be too difficult. And besides, Luke does like Rani.
Anyway, they will never bring all that into the show - it is for kids, after all.
S3 for Awards Next Year!
Sorry, Luke and Maria--sure thing! She was the first human being he ever saw and he imprinted on her and lurves her! :D
And yes, definitely--SJA for awards next year, and forward Series 4! How about more/longer episodes while we're at it? Hmmm?
I can definitely see Luke liking Maria, but I'm sure she sees him as a little brother! She has her eyes on someone else entirely...
And as for S4 - bring it on! More episodes, or make them longer, I don't mind either, I'd love either, as long as we get more SJA!
