"Invasion of the Bane" is the first episode of the British science fiction television series The Sarah Jane Adventures. It was originally broadcast on 1 January 2007. Since the series was commissioned before the script for the episode was written, it is not a pilot, but a holiday special, but serves the introductory functions of a pilot[1]. When released on DVD, Invasion of the Bane is seen to have become a two-parter. The Sarah Jane Adventures is a British television series, produced by BBC Wales for CBBC, starring Elisabeth Sladen and created by Russell T. Davies. ...

Sarah Jane, having overheard the girls making plans, follows them to the factory and interviews Mrs Wormwood, and how she was able to get approval for the drink so fast, and why the Bane ingredient was "resisting" analysis, to which she is told that all that Bubble Shock! is doing is satisfying the needs of the Western world. On Sarah's way out, she is almost killed by Wormwood's secretary.
Kelsey wanders from the tour and attempts to phone her friend, but disturbs an unknown beast, the Bane Mother, to the annoyance of the staff, to which Wormwood orders the alarms switched off and Sarah Jane killed. Maria attempts to phone Kelsey, but sets off the alarms again and causes the Archetype to escape, transferring the focus upon him. Maria, while escaping, encounters the Archetype which just mimics her, and they escape into a women's bathroom. Sarah Jane then enters, and although they are surprised to see each other, they manage to escape the factory, however without Kelsey. When they arrive back on Bannerman Road, Sarah warns Maria not to get involved as her life is too dangerous, even though Maria saw the alien the previous night.
Meanwhile, Kelsey is accosted by the factory guards, which causes her to rant about the treatment she has received. Wormwood subdues her by revealing her true form, and having discovered Kelsey and Sarah Jane live on the same street uses her PR rep, "Davey", to escort her home. Once there, Maria realises upon sight of Kelsey that Davey had discovered Sarah and tries to runs into Sarah Jane's house. Eventually realising their intent, Sarah Jane brings them inside, the now-Bane Davey giving chase. Sarah Jane is able to subdue the Bane. She then, upon discovery of the attic by Kelsey, tells the teenagers about aliens: years ago, she met a man like no other, who took her through time and space. The adventures suddenly ended, but when they met by chance not long ago, they realised they were still fond for each other. // The term Public Relations was first used by the US President Thomas Jefferson during his address to Congress in 1807. ...

Once Sarah Jane has analysed that the Bane ingredient was sentient, she contacts Wormwood and politely requests that she leaves Earth. Wormwood refuses and in retaliation takes control of the human race. Sarah Jane races to the factory, but cannot enter until she drives the bus into a wall. Wormwood reveals the Bane Mother, and explains the Archetype is a conglomerate of human DNA designed to be investigated so that Bubble Shock could be improved. The Archetype then gets an idea to use a mobile phone and an alien communicator Sarah Jane had been given by the alien Maria saw to kill the Bane Mother. The plan works and causes the factory to explode.
The following evening, Sarah Jane agrees to adopt the Archetype and agrees with Maria to call him "Luke". The episode closes with a monologue by Sarah Jane that while space may be strange, adventures may be had on Earth, if one knows where to look.

Continuity The episode takes several concepts and ideas from the classic series, particularly those of Sarah's earlier life with UNIT and the Doctor. Among those are photographs of colleagues Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and Harry Sullivan, and the pre-revival Daleks and Cybermen. She also differs herself from UNIT and Torchwood, preferring subtle methods to their "all guns blazing" attitude. Look up unit in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

In 2005, Russell T Davies had envisioned using a previous companion to explore the role and eventual fate of the Doctor's companions. Sladen was convinced to appear in the second series episode "School Reunion". Meanwhile, CBBC proposed a spin-off to Davies about a teenage Doctor, which he denied in favour of a spin-off revolving around Sarah Jane. While surprised, Sladen agreed to sign on the project. However, the rights for K-9 to appear to in the series were not secured. To explain the non-appearance of K-9, the production team gave him a cameo fixing a black hole inadvertently created in Switzerland. School Reunion is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...
The episode was written by Davies and Gareth Roberts. Roberts drew from several outside sources several parts of the plot, for example the allusion to the star of Wormwood from the Book of Revelation. Roberts also used the name of a beverage called "Bubbleshake" in his novel The Highest Science for inspiration for Bubble Shock!. Wormwood, αψινθιον (apsinthion) in Greek, is a star, or angel,[1] that appears in the Biblical New Testament Book of Revelation. ...
