The BBC Press Office have today issued a press release, confirming that The Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant, will be starring in two episodes of the Sarah Jane Adventures series three. The press release also confirms that the Judoon, the intergalactic rhinoceros-like police who featured in the Doctor Who series three episode, Smith and Jones, will also be appearing in the series. As well as being on the BBC website, the press release can also be read below:Doctor Who fans are in for a treat this Autumn as David Tennant makes a special appearance as The Doctor in CBBC's hit drama series The Sarah Jane Adventures with a starring role across two episodes.
Investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith, one-time companion to that strange wanderer in time and space known as The Doctor, is reunited with her old friend as The Sarah Jane Adventures is back for a third series of alien-busting adventures on CBBC this September.
Elisabeth Sladen, who plays Sarah Jane, says: "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."
Russell T Davies, Executive Producer of The Sarah Jane Adventures, adds: "Viewers thought they may have to wait until November for the next full episode of Doctor Who, but this is an extra special treat.
"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."
The series includes 12 weeks of brand new adventures featuring a new alien race, the reptilian Veil and their enemies the Judoon, alongside an extraterrestrial girl that can make people play games against their will.
There will also be a living painting, the inhabitants of a supposedly haunted house, monsters who want to infect Earth with a strangely aggressive weed and a chance for Sarah Jane to find personal happiness with someone who could be the perfect person to complete her family.
Alongside adopted son Luke, Sarah Jane's team is made up of Luke's streetwise pal Clyde Langer, their schoolmate Rani, who lives opposite and has aspirations to become a journalist like Sarah Jane, and Mr Smith, their Xylok supercomputer up in the attic, plus Sarah Jane's robot dog, K-9.
According to Digital Spy, The Tenth Doctor will appear in the fifth and sixth episodes of the new series, which is set to be broadcast on BBC One and The CBBC Channel this Autumn. Issue 409 of Doctor Who Magazine, which will be released on Thursday, includes a news feature on this, in which Russell T Davies says: "Let's just say that the wedding of Sarah Jane will be a day for everyone to remember!"

I cant wait for this! I was really looking forward to Children of Earth but the wait has been so long that I don't even care anymore.... until the press goes on about it with the new promos and teasers!
Yay! It seems weird that the star of a main show will be taking part in other spin offs though.
