   SJA: The Curse of Clyde Langer & When does the Doctor Wee?

   Today we review what is know as one of the best episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures.. "The Curse of Clyde Langer"Also, when does the doctor wee?The Curse of Clyde Langer was the second serial of series 5 of The Sarah Jane Adventures. It was written by Phil Ford and directed by Ashley Way. As well as being the 2012 winner of the Writer's Guild of Great Britain's Best Children's TV Script Award[1], this story was notable for its frank depiction of a modern-day social ill — homelessness — and its atypical ambiguous conclusion, in contrast to the usual "happy ending" of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Due to the show's cancellation, this story also marked the final appearances of Haresh Chandra and Carla Langer.The Sarah Jane Adventures is a British science fiction television programme produced by BBC Cymru Wales for CBBC, created by Russell T Davies, and starring Elisabeth Sladen. The programme is a spin-off of the long-running BBC science fiction programme Doctor Who, and the second primarily targeted towards children after Totally Doctor Who. It focuses on the adventures of Sarah Jane Smith, an investigative journalist living in Ealing, London, who, as a young woman, had numerous adventures across time and space with the Doctor. The show ran for five years until Sladen's death in 2011.Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series first broadcast by the BBC in 1963. The series, created by Sydney Newman, C. E. Webber and Donald Wilson, follows the adventures of the Doctor, an extraterrestrial being from a humanoid species known as Time Lords. The Doctor travels through space and time using a time travelling spaceship called the TARDIS, which has an exterior that resembles a British police box. The Doctor encounters various civilisations, which they seek to protect by outwitting foes and solving crises. The Doctor usually travels with a companion.Beginning with William Hartnell, fourteen actors have headlined the series as the Doctor; the most recent being Ncuti Gatwa, who portrayed the Fifteenth Doctor from 2023 to 2025. The transition between actors is woven into the story via the plot device of regeneration. When a Time Lord is fatally injured or weakened by old age, their cells regenerate into a new body; while they retain their memories, their personality changes. The different portrayals function as distinct stages within a single, continuous narrative. Due to time travel, these different incarnations occasionally cross paths.Enjoyed the show?
