Glad the show has SOME fans, myself included, but it stretches credibility beyond beleif sometimes, politically incorrect, has modern-day aspects. I know the darn legend is open to interpertation, but the peice should reflect the period they give as a year.

The Craps table seen in the trailer is in fact the ORIGINAL game called Hazard. It was indeed around in England in the crusades.

I seen an advert for this today and got all excited, thinking that Doctor Who was coming to the small screen a little earlier than I thought. I thought wrong :(

But still, looks kinda neat, i'll certainly be watching it!!!

Note to BBC, when repeating the pilot episode, kindly do NOT advertise it as "Revenge of the Slitheen"

Wha??? So it was just the pilot they showed in January??? Booo...bad BBC! Bad! :ohwell:

Part One of "Revenge of the Slitheen" has aired on BBC ONE, with the second part premiering on CBBC. "Eye of the Gorgon Part One" will premiere on CBBC next week.

Spoiler:
It was a fun opener, if a little restricted to expanding plotlines from Doctor Who regarding the Slitheen. Kelsey, the girl from the pilot, has been written out and in her place is another black male called Clyde, whose kind of the street-wise "Mickey" of the group. Lucas unintentionally helps the Slitheen, disguised as teachers, develop their weapon that can black out virtually any anything on the planet (even candles)

Fun, typical Who-style story, with one of the best scenes being the tragic choice Sarah makes saving the life of the young Slitheen child, allowing it to escape whilst the parent is half-stuck in a door, electrocuted and explodes.

"We have been assured that the black outs will not reach the UK"

(Power blacks out)

"Thankyou Prime Minister"

Raph's Girl 09-24-2007 10:30 PM

This was interesting. That black kid does remind me of Mickey. The Slitheen child looked like E.T on acid (especially when he ran) I never noticed before that they had tails tho....

Next week will be fun...a Gorgon!! Ooh... Medusa!

Sci-Fi USA have picked up SJA!

In an interview with Russell T. Davies, the Los Angeles Times mentions in passing that The Sarah Jane Adventures will be broadcast in the United States on the Sci Fi Channel beginning in April.

The article also states that Doctor Who's next season will begin on Sci Fi in April. The BBC has not announced a broadcast date for Series Four in the UK, but the program will air in Britain before any international broadcasts.

In the Los Angeles Times interview, Davies also talks about the success of Doctor Who, his attitude towards sexuality on Torchwood and past projects such as Bob and Rose.

He also notes that he deliberately keeps organized fandom at arm's length: "I think we're an unusual science-fiction franchise in taking a very big step back from fandom and having nothing to do with them. . . . Every program on the BBC has a message board on the website. I forbid it to happen on 'Doctor Who.' I'm sorry to say this, all the science fiction producers making stuff in America, they are way too engaged with their fandom. They all need to step back.

A little peculiar it's going to air on Sci-Fi rather than something like Nickolodean.
