Earlier in 2022, Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures celebrated the 15th anniversary of its first episode.

The series – which was aimed at slightly younger audiences than the main show – starred the sadly departed Elisabeth Sladen as the eponymous investigative journalist, as she helped keep the planet safe from extraterrestrial intruders along with some younger accomplices.

Sarah Jane and her young accomplices also had some crossover moments with other Doctor Who figures including companion Jo Jones (formerly Grant) and even the Doctor himself!

With that in mind, you might be wondering where the series is currently available to watch – read on for everything you need to know.
