David Tennant will make a guest appearance as the Doctor in the new series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, it has been confirmed.
The Time Lord will reunite with his one-time companion Sarah Jane Smith, played by Elisabeth Sladen, for a two-episode stint in the third series of the kids spinoff.
“Viewers thought they may have to wait until November for the next full episode of Doctor Who, but this is an extra special treat,” said Russell T Davies, executive producer on The Sarah Jane Adventures. “And 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.”
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.”
Robotic companion K-9 will also return for the new series.
Meanwhile, Season Two will premiere in Australia on Tuesday July 14 at 7.30pm on Nickelodeon.

Am I really the only Dr. Who fan who hates K-9?! (My gawd I get grumpy when I post on this forum…)
Doctor Who Magazine arrived in the mail today and confirms that DT will appear in episodes 5 & 6 of SJAs S3.
Craig:
The first two seasons of SJA started in the UK in September which means that Tennant’s episodes will probably be shown late September or October since the next Doctor Who special will be in November.
Yes it is quite a treat for us Who fans.
However it is probably likely that his SJA episodes will be shown in Australia way after his swansong on the parent Doctor Who programme.
I probably find an alternative way to watch SJA season 3 but for most Australian viewers David Tennant’s swansong could be in SJA rather than in Doctor Who itself.
ETA – I just read SJA S3 starts in September but no word on when David will be on…
I am so excited for this. They are great together! K-9 as well of course.
Great that we’ll have another hour with #10 before we have to bid him goodbye! 🙁
This is great news, but do we know when this is happening?
