Stylin' SJA

Filming for the fourth series of The Sarah Jane Adventures kicked off in Cardiff earlier this week! With a host of new monsters, fantastical journeys to alien worlds and even a little time travel thrown in for good measure - Series 4 is looking set to be the most action-packed series to date!

But as with every new series of a show starring kids, there are evermore arduous challenges to face; the most dire of these being the age of the cast.

The production staff attempted to delay father time by filming some of the fifth series back-to-back with the fourth. Which didn't do much to tackle the problem of two of the 'child' stars being over the age of 20, whilst the third had sprouted up in height over a very short space of time [despite being a mere year older than the character he portrays]. A solution to the problem was found, however...

SJA's new fashion consultant

Style-icon Gok Wan, of Channel 4's How To Look Good Naked, has recently been recruited by the BBC to help make the SJA cast look five years younger! Though Gok was unavailable for comment, our insider sources have informed us that he has some ambitious plans for the show's wardrobe this series. And it's not only the kids who'll be getting a dose of his bold fashion pointers!

'He's thinking of dressing Sarah Jane up as Lady Gaga!' claims an unnamed member of the production crew. 'And he's going to build on Luke's angst from last series and make him all emo. He'll even start wearing gothy nail varnish!'

Sounds like Gok's really shaken things up this year =D But will it be for the better? We'll find out this Autumn when the fourth series starts airing!
