Baby on the Doorstep

Story: The Sarah Jane Adventures: Sky
Written By: Phil Ford
Length: 2 Episodes
Year: 2011

Sarah Jane’s final season begins with a baby being left on Sarah’s doorstep. The baby is actually genetically engineered to grow up fast and is a bomb to destroy the enemies of the Fleshkind. The Fleshkind are essentially humans from another world, who have long been at war with the inhabitants of another planet nearby, The Metalkind (people made of metal).
So it becomes up to Sarah and the gang to try and stop the Fleshkind from activating this innocent girl and destroying an entire race. The episodes are fun and decent, which again feature a cameo from Luke at school via webcam, nicely introduces a new lead character who is now playing the part of Sarah Jane’s foster daughter, and a reappearance at the end of The Captain and the Shopkeeper from “Lost in Time”. Admittedly things like CLyde and Rani figuring out to shut down a nuclear reactor is pretty damn ridiculous...but the episodes were enjoyable enough that I suppose I can let that go.

NEXT TIME: Everybody Hates Clyde
