Notes
This is the only series of The Sarah Jane Adventures not to contain an episode that has Sarah's name in the title. This would have remained the case even if the series had been completed, as none of the three unproduced serials featured such a title. Interestingly, it would also turn out to be the only series to contain episode titles featuring the names of some of the shows other main characters, those being Sky and The Curse of Clyde Langer.
Rumours
Shortly after Elisabeth Sladen's passing, reports began to circulate that production on the series' three remaining serials would continue without Sladen, with the scripts rewritten to explain her absence. Series writer Gareth Roberts confirmed that these reports were false.[7]
