» » The Sarah Jane Adventures Day of the Clown: Part 1 (2007–2011)

Short summary

Rani Chandra, a would-be journalist, moves into the Jackson's old house with her mother and father, who is the new school head. Children have been disappearing and Rani suspects the appearance of a clown at the school is significant. In fact the last two to go missing had tickets to the Museum of the Circus, which Sarah Jane, Rani and the boys investigate. It is run by Elijah Spellman, a smilingly sinister figure, who sets clown robots on the group, though Sarah Jane uses her sonic lipstick to immobilise them. The group escape after Spellman has turned first into the Pied Piper and then into Odd Bob the clown.

Michael Kerrigan, the director of this episode, is a previous member of the "Russell T Davies Family" having already directed A Doctor Who series, "Battlefield", one of the last of classic Doctor Who serials.

The Draconians that are mentioned previously appeared in the Doctor Who story _"Doctor Who: Frontier in Space: Episode 1 (#10.9)" (1973)_.
