Official BBC Synopsis for Tennant's Appearance on The Sarah Jane Adventures

The BBC Press Office has released the official synopsis for The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, The Sarah Jane Adventures episode where for the first time the character of the Doctor will appear in a spin-off.

David Tennant of course reprises the role of the Doctor.

Sarah Jane has met Peter Dalton and wants him to become part of her life, as the adventure series continues; perhaps he could become a father to Luke. But Clyde suspects that Peter is hiding a secret or two, especially when he and Rani find an empty house where Peter says his home should be.

The Doctor makes a spectacular return on the happiest day of Sarah Jane's life but a deadly trap is awaiting them all.

As the strands of a clever and careful plan come together, can even a Time Lord save Sarah Jane on the day of her arch-enemy's greatest triumph?

The Doctor joins the battle, as the power of the Pantheon Of Discord grows in strength, in the second and concluding part of this week's story, but a deadly trap is waiting for them all.

The Doctor makes a spectacular return on the happiest day of Sarah Jane's life, but is he too late to save both his old companion and Earth itself? As the strands of a clever and careful plan draw together, the two friends are separated across different time zones and must fight to save each other. For one, there's a terrible price to pay.

Sarah Jane Smith is played by Elisabeth Sladen, Peter Dalton by Nigel Havers, Clyde by Daniel Anthony, Rani by Anjili Mohindra and The Doctor by David Tennant.

Part One will air on BBC One on Thursday 29 October and part Two will follow the next day on BBC One on Friday 30 October.

David Tennant on The Sarah Jane Adventures

Digital Spy has posted the season 3 episode rundown of The Sarah Jane Adventures which will air in the fall in the UK. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a start date for the series yet but I believe it should start in september or in october at the latest.

As some of you may know, the Doctor will play an important role in the two-parter ''The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith.'' Here is the episode description:

Whenever the chiming of wedding bells can be heard in the Whoniverse, it's a sign that something strange is happening. Just look at Gwen Cooper's shapeshifter-dominated wedding in Torchwood. Just what lies in store for Sarah Jane as she prepares to walk down the aisle? She'd better have a sonic wedding ring to accessorise with her lip gloss.

The big news is that David Tennant will be featuring prominently as The Doctor in this story. "Viewers thought they may have to wait until November for the next full episode of Doctor Who," stated showrunner Russell T Davies, "but this is an extra special treat. It's not just a cameo from David - this is a full-on appearance for The Doctor as he and Sarah Jane face their biggest threat ever."

Sarah Jane herself, actress Elisabeth Sladen, added: "When I heard the news that David was going to be joining us, I was absolutely over the moon. Not only has it made my day but it will also make the viewers' day. It's fantastic news that Sarah Jane is going to spend some time working with The Doctor again and is testament to just how successful this CBBC series is."
But what is this big threat that awaits us? Could it lie in the form of the debonair Nigel Havers, who has personified suave in a glittering acting career?

Sladen's real-life husband Brian Miller shows up in front of the camera, too. Nikki Wilson told Doctor Who Magazine: "He was simply ideal casting for this pivotal role, which sees him in conflict with Sarah Jane and the gang. Although there's a lot more going on with Brian's character than might first appear." In addition, the ever-sinister Trickster is lurking around the church. The prospect of him and The Doctor locking horns is mouthwatering...

Amongst some of the most familiar Who foes, Season 3 of The Sarah Jane Adventures will bring back the Judoons and the Slitheens.
