SPOT "Day of the Clown" (Parts 1 and 2) The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 2
10.14.2008
What's this? A kid's show getting a SPOT? You had better believe it.
While Doctor Who and Torchwood are well known here in the US, The Sarah Jane Adventures (which as the title suggests, follows the adventures of the Doctor's former companion Sarah Jane Smith - who traveled with the Third and Fourth Doctors - in her life now here on Earth) has flown under the radar. Which is a shame since this is probably one of, if not the best children's show I have ever seen.
In this particular episode, local children are being abducted and Sarah Jane and her kids suspect it has something to do with a clown that has been appearing around town. There's one small problem. Sarah Jane is deathly afraid of clowns. As she should be. Seriously. This clown was one creepy sonofabitch. I didn't think they'd go for something so scary on a kid's show. What is with my shows and making my fear of clowns worse than it already is?
Here's a fan-made trailer for both parts (which really isn't too different from the trailers for each part except it's longer).
