New Sarah Jane episodes are still airing in the UK, as visible in the listings.

An illness cancelled last week's edition of the column, keeping me from
reporting on the special premiere preview of K-9 on DisneyXD in the UK. The
pilot episode of the K-9 show aired on 31 October at 6PM GMT. No evidence of a
repeat scheduled, but the full 26 episode series will be airing in Australia,
the UK, and other countries in 2010. K-9 is made by Bob Baker, one of the
writers who developed K-9 as a Doctor Who character in the 1970s. Since this is
not a BBC production, it is unlikely to make any direct Doctor Who references
and vie for any "canon" titles. But the K-9 in this series is believed to be the
first K-9 from the 1977-1978 Doctor Who episodes at some later point in its
life.

USA and CANADA - Sarah Jane Series 2 will actually premiere in these two
countries on DVD, barring last minute surprises. The DVD release is Tuesday
November 10th. That's this Tuesday. Time for the North American continent to get
(almost) caught up.
