The Sarah Jane Adventures

It is Maria, Luke and Clyde's first day at their new school and something is not quite right. The food keeps going off, there is a funny smell in the air and the new technology block is hiding some dark secrets. The friends soon make a shocking discovery: the Slitheen (an evil alien race) have disguised themselves as teachers.

Under attack from the monstrous Slitheen child, Maria, Luke and Clyde escape, thanks to some deodorant and Sarah Jane's sonic lipstick. Back in her attic, Sarah Jane's super-computer Mr Smith reveals the aliens' evil plan to drain Earth of its energy. But as a power blackout spreads across the globe, Mr Smith goes out of action.

Sarah Jane and her young friends investigate reports of a ghostly nun which is haunting the local old folks' residential home. And when one of the elderly residents entrusts Luke with a mysterious alien talisman, it becomes clear there is even more to the story than meets the eye.

Maria's dad Alan has been turned to stone. The alien talisman is now in the possession of the Gorgon and her evil nuns, and they are preparing to open the portal to their world. Can Sarah Jane and her young friends free Alan from his stony state and prevent the nuns from unleashing more deadly aliens on the Earth?

Sarah Jane and Maria investigate the mysterious disappearance of local boy Lance Metcalf, and soon discover that a number of children have gone missing across the country. Remarkably, the disappearances all occurred during freak storms and in cities that are home to a laser tag game called Combat 3000.

Sarah Jane mysteriously disappears, just as a huge meteor threatens to crash straight into Earth. When Maria wakes up one morning, it's as though Sarah Jane and Luke never existed.

Maria finds herself taken back in time by the alien Graske to a pier in 1964. There, she meets a young girl her own age called Sarah Jane Smith who, with her friend Andrea (Jane Asher), is about to embark on a fateful adventure. Taken by the Graske again, Maria is then reunited with the present-day Sarah Jane.

A news report on a couple looking for their missing son, Ashley, brings a surprise for Sarah Jane when she discovers that the missing boy looks exactly like Luke. And when Mr Smith confirms that Luke is a genetic match with Ashley, Sarah Jane sends him back to live with his parents.

Maria and her dad, Alan, dig deeper into the mystery of Luke's new parents and discover that Luke has actually been kidnapped by the Slitheen. There are more shocks when Sarah Jane and Maria find out that Mr Smith, Sarah Jane's super computer, is one of the bad guys.
