BBC to screen final filmed episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures

As the BBC confirms it won't be continuing with the show, it's been revealed that the final, completed episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures are to be screened.

If you're anything like us, you're still struggling with the shock and unfairness of the death of Elisabeth Sladen last month. Tributes poured in for the late, great actress from people of all ages, and it's clear that she's left behind a mass of appreciative fans. Us included. May she rest in peace.
As expected, her untimely death means that the BBC has no plans now to film further episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures. But it has now confirmed that it will screen the episodes that were already shot. The BBC statement reads:
"Contrary to press reports today we can confirm that no new episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures will be filmed following the tragic death of actress Elisabeth Sladen in April, 2011. As a tribute to Elisabeth the six episodes that were recorded with her last year will be broadcast on CBBC at a date to be confirmed."
Once we have that transmission date, we'll be sure to let you know. Our thoughts remain with Elisabeth Sladen's family.
