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?

Oh I'd love to know what they would've done with the sixth series as well, had one been made.

Just got my copy, so still reading the first story. - Computer Mr Smith becomes human by the power of an alien called Osmo. Turns into a real pinstripe gent Ding Dong !

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".

Would Alexander Armstrong have played the human version of Mr Smith? I would assume so, right?

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...

The Trickster has got to appear in Doctor Who at some point. It would be a waste of a great villain if he did not appear.

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.

Good to trick a trickster.
The Doctor was in a trickster SJA episode a while ago.

I've always said Sky should become a part of Doctor Who history. I know Sarah Jane should always carry on offscreen, but I personally think it would be more fitting if Sky was introduced as what Sarah Jane was like years before her.

BUMP!

Just heard about this! Those episode titles sound great! I'm really upset now

Also apparently "The Thirteenth Floor" has been re-written for Russel T Davies' new show Wizards Vs Aliens ( new on CBBC)

Wasn't Ace supposed to have been in one of these stories?

Sadly, I don't think it will happen.

"one of the Trickster's brigade"

An honourable mention at least!

Featured in Torchwood as well, the only Villian(s) to be in all three series I think.

Can't recall hearing/reading about that, there was talk about Ace making an appearance not sure if that was meant to be in one of these three stories or the 6th Series though.

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.

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. Not a bad ensemble for a children's series, and a tragedy that we'll never see it

These also look interesting. (Wish I had the magazine.)

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. I'm also interested to know what was planned for series 6.
