It's a Secret...

Lukes gone, and we're entering the Vault of Secrets this week in the Sarah-Jane Adventures. Excited? Meh...

This episode dosen't look brilliant at all, purley because it's got a few references to Dreamland which was utter ****.

However, i'll still review it on the Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday, THE LATEST ISSUE OF REVERSE THE POLARITY! Yay!

Then I'm on my hols, which means I will miss the 3rd episode (WITH THE BLOODY DOCTOR!)

Beautiful Nightmares...

Sorry it's late :(
So, it's time for another review, YAY! After Monday's episode, it seemed this story had all the dark elements and children's elements required, but will part two live up to this?

Well being perfectly honest with you, Yes and No. Here's why...
YES- The acting was superb. Tommy's peformance was heart breakingly brilliant, making it an even bigger shame he is leaving. Julian's was also amazing. The "moving on" theme explored in this first episode gives people at home who may be going through this a sense that it may not be easy, and gives a small insight to the younger viewers that life isn't spoon fed allways...
NO- The defeat of the Nightmare Man. It was TOO cheesy; cheesier than the people who do the inbetween bits, and they are cheesey, but kids will like it, but I didn't. It was TOO "Power Rangery," which ruined it a fair bit.

HOWEVER: this episode was generally brilliant. The whole aspect of moving on was cleverly tied into a very clever plot, depsite a few downsides as mentioned. It's a shame to see Luke and K9 go, but they are coming back.

The little relatonship with K9 and Mr Smith was cute. It made me laugh a fair bit, and you could tell that they loved each other all along. Or is that just me...

OVERALL: a pretty decent episode, despite various downsides...

NEXT WEEK-

Androvax, Dread, and BURPS!

Sidenote- Next week the reviews will be out on Monday and Tuesday, followed by Issue Three of Reverse the Polarity out on the Wednesday. More news soon...

The Sarah-Jane Adventures Series Four: The Nightmare Man Part One

 Sarah-Jane's Back, in the darkest story ever...

We're back at Bannerman Road for the next six weeks, in six brand new two part stories, with the opening story, some what darker than ever before.

Reverse the Polarity after each episode will bring you a review of the new story each week, with an indepth analysis of the new adventures...

So, lets begin...



Goo. Yep, it's  the return of The Sarah-Jane Adventures...

"Today's Story in a Nutshell"

The story opens a year before the "big day," with a nice appearence of the Slitheen. The appearnce of the Slitheen made the story feel suitable for children, until five minutes later when the Nightmare's truely begin...

Luke's having nightmares, which is odd as he can't have them. But these aren't just the bad dream, the Nightmare Man (Julian Bleech,) is feeding of Luke's nigtmares to enter the real world to send the Earth into one great big Nightmare. There's a fair bit of emotion, as Luke's going to University. The heartfelt scenes with Luke, (Tommy Knight,) and Sarah-Jane, (Elizabeth Sladen,) are beautiful, which make the episode heartfelt for the older fans, I jerked a tear!

But Luke's fighting these nightmares, and he can't stop them...

END OF EPISODE!!!

The Review

This episode was VERY dark, too dark for children's TV. The plot however, was amazing. The magical world of Sarah-Jane was captured very quickly, with a dose of darkness. And the casting, was AMAZING. Julian's acting was just, spooky, he's good at that!

Tommy's Peformance was also mind blowingly amazing. He captured so much emotion in the episode. It's a shame to see him go, :'(.

OVERALL: An absolutley brilliant opening, but too dark for Children's TV.

9/10

NEXT TIME...

 

Review for Part Two Available Tomorrow

News Roundup Coming Wednesday

GOING STATESIDE!

The BBC have announced that Doctor Who is heading stateside for the first two episodes of the season.

Here's the press release... 

The BBC announced today that season six of Doctor Who, which delivered record ratings for BBC AMERICA earlier this year, will open with a spectacular two-parter set in the U.S. and penned by 'Who supremo' Steven Moffat.

In the special two-parter co-produced with BBC AMERICA, key scenes will be filmed in Utah for a story set in the late '60s in which the Doctor, Amy and Rory find themselves on a secret summons that takes them on an adventure from the desert in Utah - right to the Oval Office itself.

Production on episodes one and two of the new season starts in Cardiff this month and Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill will then travel to America in mid November to shoot pivotal scenes. They will also be joined by Alex Kingston who reprises her role as River Song.

Showrunner and lead writer, Steven Moffat, said: "The Doctor has visited every weird and wonderful planet you can imagine, so he was bound get round to America eventually! And of course every Doctor Who fan will be jumping up and down and saying he's been in America before. But not for real, not on location - and not with a story like this one! Oh, you wait!"

Piers Wenger, Head of Drama BBC Wales and Executive Producer, added: "Steven's scripts generally inspire us to go that extra mile - this time we're going that extra four thousand. Thanks to our friends at BBC AMERICA and to the continuing ambition of our lead writer and production team, the first two episodes of Matt Smith's second season as the Doctor are going global and look set to become Doctor Who's most action-packed and ambitious season opener yet".

A mini teaser has also been released, which can be viewed bellow...

Exciting news ay! Speculate your thoughts bellow...

The Nightmare's Only Just Beginning...

"Luke, fear my ALGEBRA!"

Yes fellow Whovians, Sarah-Jane and her gang in the Attic from Ealing are back, in what reviews and teasers suggests to be a very dark episode...

Tomorrow sees the first part of "The Nightmare Man" on the CBBC channel at 5:15pm, with the second part airing on Tuesday at the same time, with repeats on the BBC One Chanel on Thursday and Friday at 4:35pm, but if this is a kids show, why are older whovians getting so excited?

I'm 14, and love the Sarah-Jane Adventures for many reasons...

1. It's been in my life since the first episode.

2. It's a Doctor Who Spin Off with an old companion.

3. The Supporting cast are brilliant!

But surely your thinking, I would have grown out of it, but no. In fact, I wasn't looking forward to the season until the trailers and plots, which COMPLETLY changed my mind. This season sees Matt Smith make an appearence, alongside Katy Manning, surely that's a decent reason to watch?

Anyway, back to the Nightmare Man. Here's the Programme Information...

Ep 1 The Nightmare Man, Part 1 by Joseph Lidster
Luke faces life-changing events, and Bannerman Road will never be the same again. But when Sarah Jane's son has his first nightmare, he's haunted by a dark figure from his dreams. A strange entity is reaching out to our world, with terrible consequences for the whole human race.
Ep 2 The Nightmare Man, Part 2 by Joseph Lidster

With Luke, Clyde and Rani trapped in a bizarre dreamscape, Sarah Jane must fight alone! As the Nightmare Man grows stronger, only K-9 might hold the key. But can Luke summon the courage to face his adult life before the whole world is trapped in an endless nightmare?

The Nightmare Man is played by Julian Bleech, who played the Ghost Maker and Davros in Torchwood/Doctor Who, and previews show that his general scaryness remains strong. OVERALL, I'm looking forward to the new season, and the blog will follow it all the way, with previews and reviews. We're expaning the blog to be even bigger, with more updates, YAY!

Meanwhile, an update on Issue Three: It will be out in no more than two weeks, with some cool features :)
