Where have all the white men gone?

This week's episodes of my favourite children's adventure program might have been the best of the year so far. More interestingly, to me at least, is just how far outside of the standard adventure paradigm The Sarah Jane Adventures has ventured, without any great on-screen fuss or muss.

Somehow, a program about "fighting aliens" has dared to feature a more-than-sixty year-old woman and two non-white teenagers as the "defenders of the Earth" as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

I don't know about you, but I think it's worthy of some note.

Not many plot-spoilers, but some possibly uncomfortable (I hope not offensive) thoughts at Edifice Rex Online.

I thought it was very well-written :)

Also, I'm going to presume you mean my little essay and not the episode it/them self. :)

I've never actually seen the show itself, so yes :)
