‘Sarah Jane’ to Return Sept. 29

The BBC has released details on the new season of The Sarah Jane Adventures which will debut in the United Kingdom on September 29 and run through December 15.

Starring the Doctor’s former companion, Elisabeth Sladen, the second season is largely unchanged from the first and barely reflects on her appearance in Doctor Who’s fourth season finale.

Here are episode breakdowns for the first few and a complete air schedule for the fans across the pond.  No word yet as to when or if the series will make it to America.

The Last Sontaran

Part One – Reports of strange lights around the Tycho Radio Telescope lead Sarah Jane, Luke, Clyde and Maria into a terrifying forest encounter – and Sarah Jane comes face to face with her oldest enemy. Meanwhile Maria wrestles with a huge decision when her dad is offered a new job in America.

Part Two – Sarah Jane and the gang have only 40 minutes to save Earth as Sontaran Commander Kaagh plots to bring the world’s orbiting satellites crashing down on nuclear installations across the world. And Maria’s Mum finally gets to the truth from Alan – but will they be in time to save Maria?
