Wraith World:

Rani is delighted to hear that her favourite author, Gregory P. Wilkinson, is doing a signing at a local bookshop.

es 4 Novelisations now confirmed as: The Nightmare Man and Death of the Doctor! I have now updated my Sarah Jane Adventures Merchandise Guide with these books

What do you think of these covers? Will you be buying these books when they are released on the 4th of November?

Alexander Armstrong on Who Do You Think You Are

Alexander Armstrong Known in the Doctor Who Universe for portraying the voice of Mr. Smith in The Sarah Jane Adventures for all series' of the show is to appear in an upcoming episode of the British T.V. Series Who Do you Think you Are? as part of the shows eighth series. Alexander

Armstrong is to reprise his role for the next confirmed two series of the sarah jane adventures.

It is Currently unknown on what  date the episode will be broadcast.

Books, Books and More Books!!!

As previously reported Elisabeth Sladen is to release an Autobiography, originally planned for an October 2010 release. However, it would now seem that Lis' Autobiography has been pushed back all the way to April 2011! No doubt, in part, due to the level of SJA work she has had to do now that They are filming a series and a half this year. 

Also There are to be two new The Sarah Jane Adventures Books! It is yet unknown if these books are original novels (I doubt it) or novelisations (I am guessing The Death of the Doctor and possibly The Nightmare Man) Little is currently known about the books other than they will be released on the 4th of November 2010 and they are published by Penguin who do not have a title up for them (although if they are novelisations I don't think it will be long before we find out which stories they are seeing as how we already know the Series 4 titles). The site merely lists them as Sarah Jane Adventures: Novel 1 and The Sarah Jane Adventures: Novel 2. 

Any new info. on the books will be posted here as soon as it is available. The Cover for Elisabeth Sladen's Autobiography can be seen in my Merchandise Guide to the right.

Will you be buying these books? Have you brought previous SJA Books? and would you like to see some Original Novels? Let Sja News know in the Comments. 

Who Knows what this is...?

This Picture is at this address. If you look at this closely you can see K-9 on the screen. Now I am well aware that this may be fan made although it seems doubtful seeing as how it comes from what is supposed to be a fairly honest site. Unlewss I am Mistaken this as not been in the SJA. Also if you go to the bottom of the page you will see that it says something along the lines of : Mr. Smith having a new symbol for series 4 of the sarah jane adventures as seen in series 4 promo images.

Does anyone know what this is or where these so called series 4 promos are???? Or if there is something else strange that you can see in either the picture or indeed in the page linked above please tell me in the comments. And if it is fan made , well done to who ever made it because you certainly fooled me.

2nd Audiobook Title Announced

The Writers Tale: The Final Chapter

In a new book published by BBC Books entitled The Writers Tale The Final Chapter we learn an awful lot about Doctor Who but not only doctor who but Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures also! For Example SFX has published a list of things we never knew about Doctor Who! Two of these points are of great interest to any SJA Fan! For the other 18 please go to the SFX Website.

15. It was also hoped that Martha would team up with Sarah Jane in the climax of season two of The Sarah Jane Adventures. When Freema became unavailable, the Brigadier was used instead.

16. Russell was offered the option to turn The Sarah Jane Adventures into a show airing on Sundays at 5.30pm, which would have required reinventing the series. He decided against it.

Do You Think these points should have happened or do you think that this could happen in the future, Feel free to leave a comment and say what you think!

Doctor Who: The Writers Tale The Final Chapter will be released on 14th January at an RRP of £16.99
