Trailers of the upcoming K9 and Sarah Jane Smith Adventures series,

Firstly, here's Tom Baker's Doctor meeting one of the original Cybermen,

Amusing considering what the Ninth Doctor's reaction to seeing someone's salvaged Cyberman was. Though that was admittedly just a head, I guess.

Also the fact that they allegedly weren't completely coverted into machines yet, and hence are covered in a cloth-like material to keep things in place, was interesting. Though in reality it was probably a budget thing.

Anyway, here's the trailers.

K9,

Looks interesting, though the Department seems to be very similar to Torchwood in a lot of respects. They even seem to get the same decoraters for the cells.

Sarah Jane Adventures,

Hm, I wonder if they'll bring back that Pennywise expy they had in the previous season... OH! Something for those who are interested but don't know, David Tennant's Doctor is going to appear in a two part storyline in either October or November. :) Something to tide people over until they release the next one shot they'd filmed.

	I'd like to know how they expect another season with killing almost all the main characters or having them run away after being infected with 10's 'everyone I know is dead so leave me alone and then I can complain of being alone' syndrome (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The ratings and overall good reviews have caused the creators to say there probably will be another miniseries, but for it to work they'll probably have to get Mickey and Martha involved to flesh out the numbers.

This was originally what they said they were going to do before Children of Earth, so I'm not sure why they weren't along. Probably had the budget cut or something so they couldn't afford them.

That or Martha calling the Doctor for help wouldn't have fit with the dark themes of the storyline.

	Freema Agyeman went to work on Law and Order: UK, and that's why she wasn't available for COE. I dunno otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Martha's visit to Torchwood in Season 2 seemed to highlight that she's not a terribly good fit for the team. In real life Freema's been working on other series (Survivors, Law and Order UK and Little Dorrit) and Noel Clarke is writing and directing more movies, so I'm not sure how likely it ever was to happen.
