The Sarah Jane Adventures/Trivia

• Hey, It's That Guy!: Wormwood is Moneypenny from the Pierce Brosnan era Bond films.
  • Ace Bhatti, who plays Rani's father Haresh, is now in Eastenders. Coincidentally, he made a Shout-Out to Eastenders in Mark of the Berserker.
  • Miss Myers in "Sky" is the short-lived Lt. Teeg from Farscape.
  • Ship from "The Mad Woman in the Attic" is Shakespeare veteran Kate Fleetwood, last seen giving Rupert Grint an Accidental Kiss in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as Mary Cattermole.
• What Could Have Been: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith was supposed to guest-star Nicholas Courtney as the Brigadier, thus giving us a potential meeting between the Tenth Doctor and him. Alas, Courtney suffered a stroke before the shooting, and his part was scrapped.
  • The CBBC originally approached Russell T. Davies asking for a Doctor Who spinoff involving a young Doctor on Gallifrey. Davies rejected the idea, feeling it would take away from the "mystery" of the Doctor, and proposed The Sarah Jane Adventures after a positive experience working with Elisabeth Sladen in "School Reunion".
  • Had the series continued, Ace would have put in an appearance.
• Though Sarah Jane lives at 13 Bannerman Road, the number 21 can be clearly seen on her door in Eye of the Gorgon.
