* The total abruptness of the story's end, cutting off so many plotlines with such great potential. From Clani's UST, to the budding [[BrotherSisterTeam relationship between Luke and Sky]], the latter's CharacterDevelopment, presumably more information about [[TricksterMentor the Shopkeeper and the Captain]]...the abruptness really hammers home just how powerful the loss of Elisabeth Sladen was.

* "Farewell Sarah Jane" (the special minisode released in 2020 that tells the story of Sarah Jane's funeral) in its entirety. It's very obvious that the actors involved are speaking about Elisabeth Sladen just as much, if not more than they are speaking about her character.

** Maria realising that Sarah Jane was right about the reality of meeting aliens. It's not always fun or exciting. it has consequences. Her realisation of why Sarah Jane ended up alone and the fact that she says that this is how everyone will eventually end up one day is sad. Bea mentioning that nobody listens to you when you become old is also a heartbreaking moment. Basically every scene that Sarah Jane and Maria have or share with Bea is a tearjerker.

*Lord Marchwood continuously searching for his children in vain. When he tells Sarah Jane about how much of a curse that Erasmus Darkening has brought upon himself and his family by taking his children away from him in the blink of an eye, you can see he's close to tearing up and it's genuinely heart-breaking to watch. Even seeing his children plead for him is sad.

!!Season 1



* Sarah Jane and Luke's separation in ''The Lost Boy''. Full stop.
!!Season 2



!!Season 3



* Sarah Jane's narration at the end of series three. It's a tearjerker that requires some context, but after everything we've seen so far, after watching so much death and destruction in ''Series/DoctorWho'' and after the frankly chilling events of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}: Children of Earth'', hearing Sarah Jane who has seen so much of it saying hopefully that perhaps one day "earth can be a shining example to the universe" can draw a sad smile. Maybe we adults should heed more of what we teach our children.
!!Season 4



* Parts of "Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith" are just heartbreaking... particularly the idea that the MonsterOfTheWeek began its attack by, in essence, [[spoiler:''giving Sarah Jane Alzheimer's''.]]
* Sarah Jane forgetting the Doctor's name in ''Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith''.
!!Season 5

[[folder: Elisabeth Sladen's death]]
* Pretty much everything about the series, following Creator/ElisabethSladen's untimely death. No one will ever forget YOU, Lis.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3L2r3Z9D2s This teaser]] for the last story, ''The Man Who Never Was''.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw8RwvaigGY "And the story goes on... forever."]]
** Especially with this quote that accompanies it:
--->"So we sat at a picnic table and Lis asked me how I would end The Sarah Jane Adventures and I said that she couldn't just retire, could she? I said, 'She'd do something magnificent, and then she'd make sure the kids were fine, and then she'd go...up!' 'What d'you mean, up?' asked Lis, and she was laughing. 'You mean, into the sky?' 'Yes!' I said. 'She'd go up. Onwards. Outwards. Into the stars. Just...up! D'you fancy that?' 'Oh yes,' said Lis. 'That sounds nice.'" - Creator/RussellTDavies
** Sarah Jane's reunion with [[Creator/NicholasCourtney The Brigadier]] after so very long in ''Enemy of the Bane''. Let's face it, it ''sucked'' to be a ''Who'' fan in 2011. ''Series/DoctorWho'' lost two of its brightest stars within ''weeks'' of each other; to see them onscreen together is almost too much to bear.
** A comment on YouTube concerning the Third Doctor's regeneration reflected that all the actors in the room were long dead. Sladen, Creator/JonPertwee, Courtney, and Kevin Lindsay had all passed on.
** How can you conceivably watch this show, that's meant to be so child friendly and uplifting, and not ''break down'' in the knowledge that Sarah Jane Smith will ''never again'' tell us that everything will turn out okay? No, all we have now is ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'''s message that everyone you love will eventually slip loose this mortal coil, and unrelenting evidence from ''Series/DoctorWho'' that, as a species, ''we're not worth saving.''
*** [[http://youtu.be/0FxKcLId-Ys?t=39s Except for all the ways in which we are.]]
*** [[WorldHalfFull On the other hand]], the Doctor ''[[RousseauWasRight never stops trying anyways.]]''
*** We don't stop believing in it or think it no longer matters because she's dead and one day so will we all be. We believe in it because she lived.
* Had the series carried on beyond 2011, Creator/TomBaker would have returned as the Fourth Doctor. Just imagine that! The quintessential names of mid-70s ''Doctor Who'' back on our screens, together after so long. Who wouldn't have loved the TARDIS to have materialised in the attic and for Sarah Jane to expect David's or Matt's Doctor to stroll out, only to be greeted with that unmistakable voice: ''"Hello Sarah Jane..."''. Just one more thing that we'll never see now.

He leaves Ellie without saying goodbye, hoping to find her afterwards. He ends up searching all over Ealing for her, only to find out that she had left town, AND her real name wasn't Ellie Faber, meaning it would almost be impossible to find her again. What's worse is that wherever she is she'll never know why Clyde left her.]]
