BBC to screen final filmed episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures

The BBC has confirmed it won't be continuing with the show, however, it's been revealed that the final six completed episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures are to be screened. As expected, her untimely death means that the BBC has no plans now to film further episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures. But it has now confirmed that it will screen the episodes that were already shot. The BBC statement reads:
"Contrary to press reports today we can confirm that no new episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures will be filmed following the tragic death of actress Elisabeth Sladen in April, 2011. As a tribute to Elisabeth the six episodes that were recorded with her last year will be broadcast on CBBC at a date to be confirmed."

Once the broadcast date is announced, I'll be sure to report it here.
