SJA Scary???

Alexander Armstrong has praised the 'scary' storytelling on CBBC show The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Speaking to Doctor Who Magazine ahead of the second season's launch, the voice of Sarah Jane's computer Mr. Smith said: "I hope this starts a new era of really innovative children's programming, because the bar has now been set incredibly high. It's storytelling that doesn't mess about."

Armstrong, who also voiced Mr. Smith in the fourth season Doctor Who finale, added: "Kids have to deal with some harsh things in the show, but life is dangerous and a little bit scary. Kids love to be scared, don't they?"
