I just watched the Sarah Jane Adventures two parter where the Shansheeth conned people into thinking that the doctor is dead. From what I've seen, SJA is really just for kids. Even more so than DW, and it's not as good as Torchwood and DW at hiding the low budget.

The episode itself fails to build any sort of suspense because it's very obvious from the start that the doctor really isn't dead, and the guest cast is pretty thin with just Jo and Sarah as the invited former companions.

Only good things about the episode is Matt Smith and the part where they got stuck at the alien planet, including the doctor's conversation with Jo - this coupled with his conversations with Amy, Rory, Van Gogh, and Craig, make it seem like Eleventh is a kinder, more compassionate doctor than Tenth and Ninth.
