Sarah Jane news....

On New Year's Day, BBC One is set to broadcast The Sarah Jane Adventures, a second spin-off from Russell T Davies' revamp of Doctor Who.
Joseph Millson will have a major role as the single father of one of the lead characters.
Soap fans will remember him as EastEnders' Jason, who once broke Lyn Slater's heart, then returned to her life and attempted to win her back, despite his ex's marriage to Garry Hobbs.
Millson also recently appeared in new Bond movie Casino Royale.
Other soap roles have come in Doctors and Holby City, although he made his name during a two-year stint as Dr Sam Morgan in Peak Practice.
Star of The Sarah Jane Adventures, Elisabeth Sladen, also appeared in several episodes of that rural medical drama.
Although best known for her role as the Doctor's assistant in the mid-1970s, she's featured in long-running serials Coronation Street and The Bill.
She will reprise her most famous part of the roving reporter who, in the opening instalment, investigates mysterious goings-on at a soft drink factory.
Sarah Jane will be helped by her 13-year-old neighbour Maria, played by Doctors star Yasmin Paige.
The first edition of The Sarah Jane Adventures is a one-off, but a series will follow early in 2007.
