DVD Description
The Sarah Jane Adventures was written by the multi award-winning Russell T Davies for CBBC, starring Doctor Who's companion Sarah Jane Smith. The series features thrilling stories for children. Big adventures, superb effects, wicked comedy.

Sarah Jane Smith is a truly remarkable woman. She inhabits a world of mystery, danger and wonder. A world where aliens are commonplace and the Earth is constantly under threat. A world that Maria Jackson - a seemingly ordinary girl - can only dream of until she moves in next door. Nothing will ever be ordinary again.

In the first adventure, there's a new drink taking the world by storm - Bubbleshock! Everyone's drinking it. When Maria's dragged along to the factory tour by her new friend, Kelsey - a girl with an opinion on everything - she's plunged into the sinister world of Bubbleshock and the mysterious Mrs Wormwood. There's something terrible behind the hype - something Sarah Jane's interested in too...

Synopsis
Maria Jackson's boring life collides with the excitement of that of Sarah Jane Smith, when the pair find themselves living next door to one another. Sarah inhabits a world of intrigue and adventure and Maria is about to tag along for the ride...

Customer Reviews

Great - but what about the rest of the series!!?
It's all very well releasing the pilot on DVD, but what has happened to the proposed DVD release of series 1? Amazon had volume 1 listed for a while, but then took the listing down. And why can't we have a box set of the whole series, as with Doctor Who and Torchwood? Would someone from the BBC kindly explain what's happening and why we're having to wait so long? The second series will be airing soon!

Great!
I've seen the series on tv but never saw the pilot episode so it was interesting to see how Luke had come about, being an archetype created by the Bane, an alien species that had infiltrated a soft drink being marketed as organic, everyone who drank it become affected, in a brainwashed kind of way, trying to get other people to drink it too. It was a great story and I loved the menu section of the dvd, which scanned the interior of Sarah Jane's apartment. The dvd also had a history of Sarah Jane section, showing some of the earlier Doctors. I have been wanting to obtain the whole series on dvd ever since it finished its run on tv, I don't know why it's taking so long. All the stories were fantastically good, especially the one with the nuns, which was very creepy. I hope they don't make us wait too long!

flippin` fantastic!
OK,let`s get this straight:This is the first episode of a brand new series
starring Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith.{But i`ll let you in to a secret:For a first episode,I think it`s fantastic!}The Bane where brilliant monsters and it was a great way to set a alien plot:having the aliens in the form of a new fizzy drink.Whoever wrote this must be genius!
