Admirable film.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Blistering performances.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The late Elisabeth Sladen, who was one of, if not the best Doctor Who Companion, stars in this fun show where she protects earth with the help of her adopted son and his friends. She was taken from us far too soon and some channel in the states needs to be repeating this.

This is a great show if you grow up watching or if you love Doctor Who. There are cameos from David Tennant, Matt Smith, Nicholas Courtney & Katy Manning. There are new aliens than just the ones in Doctor Who making it feel like it expands from the show. Elisabeth Sladen is amazing as always as Sarah Jane Smith and Tommy Knight is great as Luke.The teen cast is very good over all (Tommy Knight, Daniel Anthony, Anjli Mohindra, Yasmin Paige), are very good.

I actually thought this special was quite good, although it was for children it had an interesting storyline and believable characters. Comparing this with the Christmas special of Doctor Who there was no competition, it was way better than Doctor Who, the character played by Catherine Tate was appalling, even the children's characters on Sarah Jane Adevntures were better! And the aliens we saw were way more like aliens than what we have seen in doctor who since the ood. It is about time we had some bug eyed green monsters instead of half spider half women things with really bad laughs, mind you it fits in with doctor whos tradition of crappy costumes! I am looking forward to the series of this, from what I have seen, even though it is a kids programme, as it was written well and produced well!

I'm not going to give a synopsis, as previous reviewers have already accurately done so.As a long time Dr Who fan, (Tom Baker days!!)I sat and watched this with the children, aged 7, 5 and 3, and my 60 something mum too. Full credit to the writers/directors, as this appealed to us all! Even my youngest got the general idea, the older two followed the whole story, and the adults were kept amused with a few laughs and "in" references and jokes. The pace was excellent, as the story and characters slowly draw you in, and then take off at speed after a few minutes of scene setting. By the end of the episode the characters are pretty well established, and we are all looking forward to the rest of the series.Well done BBC - this makes the licence worth while!
