= Invasion of the Bane =
" Invasion of the Bane " is the first episode of the British science fiction television series The Sarah Jane Adventures . It was originally broadcast on 1 January 2007 . Since the series was commissioned before the script for the episode was written , it is not a pilot , but a bank holiday special , and serves the introductory functions of a pilot .
The episode focuses upon a thirteen @-@ year @-@ old girl , Maria Jackson , discovering the existence of aliens . After discovering that the Bane , creators of a soft drink called Bubble Shock ! , harbour a destructive secret , she teams up with investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith to prevent their plans .
= = Plot = =
A thirteen @-@ year @-@ old girl , Maria Jackson ( Yasmin Paige ) , and her recently divorced father Alan ( Joseph Millson ) move into a house opposite journalist and former time @-@ traveller Sarah Jane Smith ( Elisabeth Sladen ) . The night after they have moved in , Maria is woken by an ethereal light emanating from Sarah Jane 's house , which she discovers , to her horrified fascination , to be Sarah Jane conversing with a star poet , or <unk> .
The next morning , a neighbour Kelsey Hooper ( Porsha Lawrence <unk> ) visits and welcomes Maria before inviting her into town , using the free " Bubble Shock ! " bus to travel there and tour the factory . Once they arrive at the factory , they are led to a security scanner , which surreptitiously collects their DNA to transfer to an " Archetype " ( Thomas Knight ) under the supervision of the factory 's owner , Mrs Wormwood ( Samantha Bond ) .
Sarah Jane , having overheard the girls making plans , follows them to the factory and interviews Mrs Wormwood , and how she was able to get approval for the drink so fast , and why the Bane , an ingredient unique to the drink , was " resisting " analysis , to which she is told that all that Bubble Shock ! is doing is satisfying the needs of the Western world . On Sarah Jane 's way out , she is almost killed by Wormwood 's secretary .
Kelsey wanders from the tour and attempts to phone Maria , but disturbs an unknown beast , the Bane Mother , to the annoyance of the staff , to which Wormwood orders the alarms switched off and Sarah Jane killed . Maria attempts to phone Kelsey , but sets off the alarms again , causing the Archetype to escape , transferring the focus upon him . Maria , while escaping , encounters him , who just mimics her , and they escape into a women 's bathroom . Sarah Jane then enters , and although they are surprised to see each other , they manage to escape the factory , albeit without Kelsey . When they arrive back on Bannerman Road , Sarah warns Maria not to get involved as her life is too dangerous .
Meanwhile , Kelsey is accosted by the factory guards , which causes her to rant about the treatment she has received . Wormwood subdues her by revealing her true form , and having discovered Kelsey and Sarah Jane live on the same street , uses her PR representative Davey ( Jamie Davis ) to escort her home . Once there , Maria realises upon sight of Kelsey that Davey had discovered Sarah and tries to run into Sarah Jane 's house . Eventually realising their intent , Sarah Jane brings them inside , with Davey , now as a Bane , giving chase . Sarah Jane is able to repel Davey and then , upon discovery of the attic by Kelsey , tells the teenagers about aliens : years ago , she met the Doctor , a man like no other , who took her through time and space . The adventures suddenly ended , but when they met by chance ( in " School Reunion " ) not long ago , they realised they were still fond of each other . Sarah Jane has a brief reunion with K9 , who is in her safe , sealing off a black hole .
Once Sarah Jane has analysed that the Bane ingredient was sentient , she activates her computer , Mr Smith - after some shouting by Kelsey - and contacts Wormwood and politely requests that she leaves Earth . Wormwood refuses , and in retaliation takes control of the majority of the human race . Sarah Jane races to the factory , but cannot enter until she drives the bus into a wall . Wormwood reveals the Bane Mother , and explains the Archetype is a conglomerate of human DNA designed to be investigated so that Bubble Shock could be improved . The Archetype uses an alien communicator Sarah Jane had been given , realising that the signal would be strong enough to kill the Bane Mother , and Sarah Jane , Maria , and the Archetype escape as the factory explodes .
The following evening , Sarah Jane agrees to adopt the Archetype and agrees with Maria to call him " Luke " , since that was what she wanted to name her child if she ever had one . The episode closes with a monologue by Sarah Jane that while space may be strange , adventures may be had on Earth , if one knows where to look .

Elisabeth Sladen previously played Sarah Jane between 1973 and 1976 . In 1981 , she was offered the role again to ease the transition between the Fourth and Fifth Doctors , which she declined , but agreed to star in the pilot ( and only episode ) for the spin @-@ off series K @-@ 9 and Company , which brought her together with K @-@ 9 , another popular character . After her appearance in The Five Doctors in 1983 , she temporarily stopped acting in order to raise her family , but lent her voice to several Big Finish audio productions . She returned to Doctor Who in the aptly titled Tenth Doctor episode , " School Reunion " . Sladen and Tommy Knight have also appeared as Sarah Jane and Luke Smith in the series 4 finale , " The Stolen Earth " / " Journey 's End " , and in the second and final part of David Tennant 's swan song as the Tenth Doctor , The End of Time .
= = = Concept and writing = = =
In 2005 , Russell T Davies had envisioned using a previous companion to explore the role and eventual fate of the Doctor 's companions . Sladen was convinced to appear in the second series episode " School Reunion " . Meanwhile , CBBC proposed a spin @-@ off to Davies about a teenage Doctor , which he denied in favour of a spin @-@ off revolving around Sarah Jane . While surprised , Sladen agreed to sign on the project . However , the rights for K @-@ 9 to appear in the series were not secured . To explain the non @-@ appearance of K @-@ 9 , the production team gave him a cameo fixing a black hole inadvertently created in Switzerland .
The episode was written by Davies and Gareth Roberts . Roberts drew from several outside sources several parts of the plot , for example the allusion to the star of Wormwood from the Book of Revelation . Roberts also used the name of a beverage called " <unk> " in his novel The Highest Science for inspiration for Bubble Shock ! .

= William Morris =
William Morris ( 24 March 1834 – 3 October 1896 ) was an English textile designer , poet , novelist , translator , and socialist activist . Associated with the British Arts and Crafts Movement , he was a major contributor to the revival of traditional British textile arts and methods of production . His literary contributions helped to establish the modern fantasy genre , while he played a significant role in propagating the early socialist movement in Britain .
Born in Walthamstow , Essex , to a wealthy middle @-@ class family , Morris came under the strong influence of medievalism while studying Classics at Oxford University , there joining the Birmingham Set . After university he trained as an architect , married Jane Burden , and developed close friendships with the Pre @-@ Raphaelite artists Edward Burne @-@ Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti and with the Neo @-@ Gothic architect Philip Webb . Webb and Morris designed a family home , Red House , then in Kent , where the latter lived from 1859 to 1865 , before moving to Bloomsbury , central London . In 1861 , Morris founded a decorative arts firm with Burne @-@ Jones , Rossetti , Webb , and others : the Morris , Marshall , Faulkner & Co . Becoming highly fashionable and much in demand , the firm profoundly influenced interior decoration throughout the Victorian period , with Morris designing tapestries , wallpaper , fabrics , furniture , and stained glass windows . In 1875 , Morris assumed total control of the company , which was renamed Morris & Co .
Although retaining a main home in London , from 1871 Morris rented the rural retreat of Kelmscott Manor , Oxfordshire . Greatly influenced by visits to Iceland , with Eiríkr Magnússon he produced a series of English @-@ language translations of Icelandic Sagas . He also achieved success with the publication of his epic poems and novels , namely The Earthly Paradise ( 1868 – 1870 ) , A Dream of John Ball ( 1888 ) , the utopian News from Nowhere ( 1890 ) , and the fantasy romance The Well at the World 's End ( 1896 ) . In 1877 he founded the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings to campaign against the damage caused by architectural restoration . Embracing Marxism and influenced by anarchism , in the 1880s Morris became a committed revolutionary socialist activist ; after an involvement in the Social Democratic Federation ( SDF ) , he founded the Socialist League in 1884 , but broke with that organization in 1890 . In 1891 he founded the Kelmscott Press to publish limited @-@ edition , illuminated @-@ style print books , a cause to which he devoted his final years .
Morris is recognised as one of the most significant cultural figures of Victorian Britain ; though best known in his lifetime as a poet , he posthumously became better known for his designs . Founded in 1955 , the William Morris Society is devoted to his legacy , while multiple biographies and studies of his work have seen publication . Many of the buildings associated with his life are open to visitors , much of his work can be found in art galleries and museums , and his designs are still in production .

= = = Youth : 1834 – 52 = = =
Morris was born at Elm House in Walthamstow , Essex , on 24 March 1834 . Raised into a wealthy middle @-@ class family , he was named after his father , a financier who worked as a partner in the Sanderson & Co. firm , bill brokers in the City of London . His mother was Emma Morris ( née Shelton ) , who descended from a wealthy bourgeois family from Worcester . Morris was the third of his parents ' surviving children ; their first child , Charles , had been born in 1827 but died four days later . Charles had been followed by the birth of two girls , Emma in 1829 and Henrietta in 1833 , before William 's birth . These children were followed by the birth of siblings Stanley in 1837 , Rendall in 1839 , Arthur in 1840 , Isabella in 1842 , Edgar in 1844 , and Alice in 1846 . The Morris family were followers of the evangelical Protestant form of Christianity , and William was baptised four months after his birth at St. Mary 's Church , Walthamstow .
As a child , Morris was kept largely housebound at Elm House by his mother ; there , he spent much time reading , favouring the novels of Walter Scott . Aged 6 , Morris moved with his family to the Georgian Italianate mansion at Woodford Hall , Woodford , Essex , which was surrounded by 50 acres of land adjacent to Epping Forest . He took an interest in fishing with his brothers as well as gardening in the Hall 's grounds , and spent much time exploring the Forest , where he was fascinated both by the Iron Age earthworks at Loughton Camp and <unk> Banks and by the Early Modern Hunting Lodge at Chingford . He also took rides through the Essex countryside on his pony , and visited the various churches and cathedrals throughout the country , marveling at their architecture . His father took him on visits outside of the county , for instance to Canterbury Cathedral , the Chiswick Horticultural Gardens , and to the Isle of Wight , where he adored <unk> Chine . Aged 9 , he was then sent to Misses Arundale 's Academy for Young Gentlemen , a nearby preparatory school ; although initially riding there by pony each day , he later began boarding , intensely disliking the experience .
In 1847 , Morris 's father died unexpectedly . From this point , the family relied upon continued income from the copper mines at Devon Great Consols , and sold Woodford Hall to move into the smaller Water House . In February 1848 Morris began his studies at Marlborough College in Marlborough , Wiltshire , where he gained a reputation as an eccentric nicknamed " Crab " . He despised his time there , being bullied , bored , and homesick . He did use the opportunity to visit many of the prehistoric sites of Wiltshire , such as Avebury and Silbury Hill , which fascinated him . The school was Anglican in faith and in March 1849 Morris was confirmed by the Bishop of Salisbury in the college chapel , developing an enthusiastic attraction towards the Anglo @-@ Catholic movement and its Romanticist aesthetic . At Christmas 1851 , Morris was removed from the school and returned to Water House , where he was privately tutored by the Reverend Frederick B. Guy , Assistant Master at the nearby Forest School .
= = = Oxford and the Birmingham Set : 1852 – 56 = = =
In June 1852 Morris entered Oxford University 's Exeter College , although since the college was full , he only went into residence in January 1853 . He disliked the college and was bored by the manner in which they taught him Classics . Instead he developed a keen interest in Medieval history and Medieval architecture , inspired by the many Medieval buildings in Oxford . This interest was tied to Britain 's growing Medievalist movement , a form of Romanticism that rejected many of the values of Victorian industrial capitalism . For Morris , the Middle Ages represented an era with strong chivalric values and an organic , pre @-@ capitalist sense of community , both of which he deemed preferable to his own period . This attitude was compounded by his reading of Thomas Carlyle 's book Past and Present ( 1843 ) , in which Carlyle championed Medieval values as a corrective to the problems of Victorian society . Under this influence , Morris 's dislike of contemporary capitalism grew , and he came to be influenced by the work of Christian socialists Charles Kingsley and Frederick Denison Maurice .
At the college , Morris met fellow first @-@ year undergraduate Edward Burne @-@ Jones , who became his lifelong friend and collaborator . Although from very different backgrounds , they found that they had a shared attitude to life , both being keenly interested in Anglo @-@ Catholicism and <unk> . Through Burne @-@ Jones , Morris joined a group of undergraduates from Birmingham who were studying at Pembroke College : William Fulford , Richard Watson Dixon , Charles Faulkner , and <unk> Price . They were known among themselves as the " Brotherhood " and to historians as the Birmingham Set . Morris was the most affluent member of the Set , and was generous with his wealth toward the others . Like Morris , the Set were fans of the poet Alfred , Lord Tennyson , and would meet together to recite the plays of William Shakespeare .
Morris was heavily influenced by the writings of the art critic John Ruskin , being particularly inspired by his chapter " On the Nature of Gothic Architecture " in the second volume of The Stones of Venice ; he later described it as " one of the very few necessary and inevitable utterances of the century " . Morris adopted Ruskin 's philosophy of rejecting the tawdry industrial manufacture of decorative arts and architecture in favour of a return to hand @-@ craftsmanship , raising artisans to the status of artists , creating art that should be affordable and hand @-@ made , with no hierarchy of artistic mediums . Ruskin had achieved attention in Victorian society for championing the art of a group of painters who had emerged in London in 1848 calling themselves the Pre @-@ Raphaelite Brotherhood . The Pre @-@ Raphaelite style was heavily Medievalist and Romanticist , emphasising abundant detail , intense colours and complex compositions ; it greatly impressed Morris and the Set . Influenced both by Ruskin and by John Keats , Morris began to spend more time writing poetry , in a style that was imitative of much of theirs .
Both he and Burne @-@ Jones were influenced by the Romanticist milieu and the Anglo @-@ Catholic movement , and decided to become clergymen in order to found a monastery where they could live a life of chastity and dedication to artistic pursuit , akin to that of the contemporary Nazarene movement . However , as time went on Morris became increasingly critical of Anglican doctrine and the idea faded . In summer 1854 , Morris travelled to Belgium to look at Medieval paintings , and in July 1855 went with Burne @-@ Jones and Fulford across northern France , visiting Medieval churches and cathedrals . It was on this trip that he and Burne @-@ Jones committed themselves to " a life of art " . For Morris , this decision resulted in a strained relationship with his family , who believed that he should have entered either commerce or the clergy . On a subsequent visit to Birmingham , Morris discovered Thomas Malory 's Le Morte d 'Arthur , which became a core Arthurian text for him and Burne @-@ Jones . In January 1856 , the Set began publication of The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine , designed to contain " mainly Tales , Poetry , friendly critiques and social articles " . Mainly funded by Morris , who briefly served as editor and heavily contributed to it with his own stories , poems , reviews and articles , the magazine lasted for twelve issues , and garnered praise from Tennyson and Ruskin .
= = = Apprenticeship , the Pre @-@ Raphaelites , and marriage : 1856 – 59 = = =
Having passed his finals and been awarded a BA , Morris began an apprenticeship with the Oxford @-@ based Neo @-@ Gothic architect George Edmund Street in January 1856 . His apprenticeship focused on architectural drawing , and there he was placed under the supervision of the young architect Philip Webb , who became a close friend . Morris soon relocated to Street 's London office , in August 1856 moving into a flat in Bloomsbury , Central London with Burne @-@ Jones , an area perhaps chosen for its avant @-@ garde associations . Morris was fascinated by London but dismayed at its pollution and rapid expansion into neighbouring countryside , describing it as " the spreading sore " .
Morris became increasingly fascinated with the idyllic Medievalist depictions of rural life which appeared in the paintings of the Pre @-@ Raphaelites , and spent large sums of money purchasing such artworks . Burne @-@ Jones shared this interest , but took it further by becoming an apprentice to one of the foremost Pre @-@ Raphaelite painters , Dante Gabriel Rossetti ; the three soon became close friends . Through Rossetti , Morris came to associate with poet Robert Browning , and the artists Arthur Hughes , Thomas Woolner , and Ford Madox Brown . Tired of architecture , Morris abandoned his apprenticeship , with Rossetti persuading him to take up painting instead , which he chose to do in the Pre @-@ Raphaelite style . Morris aided Rossetti and Burne @-@ Jones in painting the Arthurian murals at Oxford Union , although his contributions were widely deemed inferior and unskilled compared to those of the others . At Rossetti 's recommendation , Morris and Burne @-@ Jones moved in together to the flat at Bloomsbury 's No. 17 Red Lion Square by November 1856 . Morris designed and commissioned furniture for the flat in a Medieval style , much of which he painted with Arthurian scenes in a direct rejection of mainstream artistic tastes .
Morris also continued writing poetry and began designing illuminated manuscripts and embroidered hangings . In March 1857 , Bell and Dandy published a book of Morris 's poems , The Defence of Guenevere , which was largely self @-@ funded by the author himself . It did not sell well and garnered few reviews , most of which were unsympathetic . <unk> , Morris would not publish again for a further eight years . In October 1857 Morris met Jane Burden , a woman from a poor working @-@ class background , at a theatre performance and asked her to model for him . Smitten with her , they entered into a relationship and were engaged in spring 1858 ; Burden would later admit however that she never loved Morris . They were married in a low @-@ key ceremony held at St Michael at the North Gate church in Oxford on 26 April 1859 , before honeymooning in Bruges , Belgium , and settling temporarily at 41 Great Ormond Street , London .
