Series Description
The Sarah Jane Adventures is a spinoff of the 2005 revival of Doctor Who. The character Sarah Jane Smith first appeared on the classic show in 1973, during the Third Doctor's tenure. The majority of her stories took place with the Fourth Doctor, and she was one of the longest-running companions in terms of actual time spent on the show, making her one of the more well-known characters from the classic era. Sarah Jane, played by her original actress Lis Sladen (with the character depicted as appropriately older), appeared in an episode of the new Doctor Who's second season called "School Reunion" prior to the launch of her own show.
While Doctor Who has always been intended as a children's show to some degree, The Sarah Jane Adventures is more directly aimed at a younger audience than its parent show. It airs earlier in the day and contains far less violence or sexual content, and the main characters (aside from Sarah Jane) are young teenagers.
The second series began airing on September 29, 2008.
Fandom
The fandom newsletter for The Sarah Jane Adventures is called the "Sarah Jane Field Report" and appears daily.[1] The fandom for the show naturally has a great deal of overlap with Doctor Who fandom, but while much of the fanfiction is a crossover with the parent show, there's also a lot of fanfic and other fan activity devoted solely to The Sarah Jane Adventures.
