The Sarah Jane Adventures

The BBC finally released a press release about the long-rumored The Sarah Jane Adventures. If Torchwood is the "adult" Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Adventures is going to be the "kids" Doctor Who spin-off.

This isn't a brand new concept -- Big Finish has done several series of audio adventures with Sarah Jane as the central character. But this will be a little different, as this will be primarily targeted towards an audience of children instead of nostalgic adults.

I'm curious about how this series might cross over to the US. Unlike Torchwood, I'm not sure I can picture a solidly children's series crossing over to the Sci Fi channel. And I'm not sure how it fits on BBC America either. I'm sure there are enough American Doctor Who fans that it'll find some way of making it over, but how.

In other exciting news, we're seeing a series of Doctor Who audios made by Big Finish go direct to BBC7 as audio dramas starring Paul McGann. And BBC7 is available online as well.
