SJA Series 5: The Untold Tales

I don't recall seeing this around at all, but the third (and presumably final) companion magazine to The Sarah Jane Adventures was released on Thursday. I tried picking up a copy in town, but nowhere had one, and was wandering if anybody has got their hands on this yet. I loved the second volume, and was unfortunately too slow to get my hands on the first volume.
The magazine goes into some detail about the three stories of the fifth series of The Sarah Jane Adventures that we never got to see. The titles of these were
- Meet Mr Smith
- The Thirteenth Floor
- The Battle of Bannerman Road
The Trickster would have returned in the finale. It would have been revealed that he had instilled his essence in Sky Smith at the moment of her creation, and manipulated events so she would end up with Sarah Jane. He would then awaken Sky's "Trickster" half, and use her to attack Sarah Jane.
If anyone has the magazine, I'd be most interested to know whether the Parrot man ('Captain', I think) was intended to return in the series as well, and whether there was an insight towards where Series 6 would have gone?

Quickly reading quickly and briefly ahead The Shopkeeper would have been back at some stage possibly the finale with a reveal. But RTD is keeping it a mystery.
Daniel & Anjli were persuaded to stay for series 6 after being given a free lunch and the 13th floor script which they loved and gave the characters "new potential".
While there was no deal done, there was a positive response from his agent for availability for filming. The idea had been around for some time so it seems almost certain.
The Trickster was a fantastic villain, it would have been great to see him again. I suppose a return in DW at some point in the future is possible, if rather unlikely...
I agree, an excellent villain.
We could another Amy's Choice/Turn Left type of episode if he appeared on Doctor Who.
Not direct copies/sequels of those episodes, more in similar tone to them.
The Doctor was in a trickster SJA episode a while ago.
Just heard about this! Those episode titles sound great!
Also apparently "The Thirteenth Floor" has been re-written for Russel T Davies' new show Wizards Vs Aliens ( new on CBBC)
Sadly, I don't think it will happen.
"one of the Trickster's brigade"
An honourable mention at least!
Apparently Jo and Santiago were to be brought back in the Series 5 finale. Professor Rivers and the mysterious Shopkeeper were also to come back as well.
Really? Wow! Series 5 would of had quite a powerful finale! :eek:

The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith
Indeed!
'The Battle of Bannerman Road' would have been a return for Luke and The Trickster too... he had a plot involving Sarah Jane's daughter, Sky.

RTD didn't give much info about "The Thirteenth Floor" but that's because it's being used for his new show. I'll definitely be watching that episode when it airs on TV.

I agree, it's such a huge shame.
Sophie Aldred had confirmed she was to appear in SJA. Ace - or Dorothy as she is now - was to have been a top businesswoman (head of A Charitable Earth, I would imagine) but within a few minutes would be swinging the baseball bat again. Sounded a real hoot. They were even thinking about asking Sylvester McCoy back to film a farewell scene between the 7th Doctor and Ace.
