I've just posted on Firefox News about The Guardian's article about Julie Gardner stepping down from Doctor Who. Here, I'd like to point out one very telling line from that article, with emphasis added:

Gardener will also continue to executive produce the next runs of Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures before she leaves BBC Wales.

This is, as I note on FFN, the first official word that there will likely be a second season of the SJA.

ETA: The BBC web page is quite specific: She will continue to executive produce Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures for BBC Wales. In addition, Julie continues work on an impressive slate of independent dramas and will run the strategy and development of BBC Wales Drama with her handover to Piers.

SJA's been renewed!

Hmmm.... No idea what this means to DW, really. Do you know anything about this Piers Wenger? I've always had the vibe that Julie Gardner just loves the Disney-true-love stuff on DW, but that it doesn't originate with her, so I wonder what if anything her departure will affect.

Do you know anything about this Piers Wenger?

Not a thing, and he doesn't seem to have a lot of cult SF on his resume. The original article is very definite in stating that they don't know what's happening with Rusty, if he's staying or going as well.
