The Blathereen appear to come in peace and offer Sarah Jane the gift if a plant which will grown anywhere on Earth and can solve all the hunger issues of our planet. Unfortunately it's not long before the planet is spreading its seed all over London (and soon to be all over the world) releasing spores which can kill people.
In the previous two season finales we have had the moon nearly coming crashing down to Earth and a portal to another dimension opening up in the ground so to have the villain of this story be a plant that spreads across the city just seems a little undramatic. It would work fine as a story earlier on in the series but the season finale just feels like it needs something bigger.
Saying that the guest cast in this one is excellent. Well okay they are only voice over parts for the Blathereen but still impressive. The Blathereen couple are played by Miriam Mayrgoyles and Simon Callow. Simon Callow has gone from playing Charles Dickens in Doctor Who to playing a big blobby orange alien that farts a lot..well I guess you can't deny he is an actor with a wide range.
So that was season three of The Sarah Jane Adventures finished. Only two more seasons to go and one of them is a short one. It really is feeling like the countdown to the end now. Speaking of which, tomorrow is The End Of Time as the tenth Doctor hears someone knocking four times...
