Have nice day. I loved that!!

Judoon Officer Captain Tybo crash lands on Earth, his Prisoner, Androvax escapes, and poses a huge threat to Earth.

Well that was a very impressive episode I thought, action packed, fast paced, with one or two moments of humour, an old foe, and an impressive new one. A very strong start to the third series, maybe a tad more exciting than the norm.

I e alway thought how nice it would be for Dr Who villains to appear here, but in all fairness the show produced some great ones of its own. The Judoon weren't my personal favourite, but I understand why they have a following. Androvax however was really impressive, he looked great, and was a good old fashioned villain, arguably better than any on Dr Who to feature over the last few years.

Sladen really does shine here, and we see a slightly more sinister side to her, I'm still utterly devastated by her early passing, what a beautiful, wonderful actress was lost.

This was a classic, 9/10.

Prisoner of the Da- Judoon!

Warning: Spoilers
Sarah Jane and the gang face the most dangerous day of their lives as the rhino-like Judoon return. When prisoner Androvax the Annihilator crash-lands on Earth, the Veil is set free to turn Earth's technology against itself. His next intended victim is Sarah Jane. As the Judoon fleet approaches Earth, it's a race against time to stop Androvax. With Genetec Systems' technology on the rampage and THE RAN- wrong one... Rani's parents taken prisoner, can anything stop the Army of the Infinitesimal?

Review of both parts -

Not gonna lie though, this is enjoyable than that stupid episode 'Fugitive of the Judoon', god. Anyways, the plot was highly enjoyable, it was kinda like the central plot of Big Hero 6. Oh yeah, this is the first high-definition episode produced on The Sarah Jane Adventures, how nice is that? Haha.

9/10.

Review of both parts:

This is an impressive and exciting adventure using an alien that had previously appeared in Doctor Who - intergalactic policemen the Judoon - and a good newly devised alien, a Vail criminal called Androvax. Both work brilliantly in the story which involves the Judoon pursuing Androvax to Earth.

The Judoon are fun and there is some nice comedic interplay between Judoon Captain Tybo and the regular cast. Androvax is a cool villain and when he possesses the body of Sarah Jane we get superb acting from Lis Sladen that truly makes her seem like a different, alien character. It is really great.

There is lots of excitement, particularly in Part 1 and plenty of quality. Lis puts in a mega performance and the plot is enjoyable.

My ratings: Part 1 - 8.5/10, Part 2 - 8. Overall - 8.25/10.

The Destroyer of worlds

Androvax is fun to watch with the idea that he can jump in people's bodies which is pretty original and did justice. He looks like he is a comic book kind of a villain. He should be added into Doctor Who by Chris Chibnall but maybe it wont.

Jadoon

The rhinos are fun to watch and are very clever with bonding with people so it is good. And on this it's nice to see Sarah Jane getting a proper job it seemed like one of the best Subplots in the siries

Am I an honest reviewer

Yes I am always will be. But everything can be improved so you will not see me getting a 10/10 Star Review ever. I will always state the positives and the negatives. And you won't see me giving anything a 1/10. But 2 up to 9 you will see me doing.

Negatives

Needed to have a bit of a better script in parts but otherwise no real negative issues for me.

Do I agree with the PG certificate

Yes I do and that is because it is scary for babies and toddlers see a person that can jump inside people's bodies. I think most of the SJA episodes on the siries are 7+ or atleast should be.

Twists

Fun but could have had a bit more twists near the middle it would of been a much better episode then

Original

Yes a little bit.

Do I agree with the rating

Yes it is helpful enough and gives you enough indecataction that it is a good solid episode

Hope you Enjoyed
