Part 1:
Third episode of season 2 and the beginning of this story.
While I do miss Maria, I think Rani Chandra makes a very good replacement and what a shock that she is the daughter of the new headmaster.
Good use of the "clowns are scary" plot. Interesting that the clown was once the Pied Piper of Hamlin. Also The Greatest Show In The Galaxy comes to mind when watching this.
Very good cliffhanger only to be let down by the trailer that comes afterwards which revealed that Sarah, Luke, Clyde and Rani had escaped from their predicament. One has to remember Steven Moffat's criticism about the trailer for World War Three at the end of Aliens of London which showed the Doctor running around even though the cliffhanger had showed that he was being electrocuted to death.

I like Part One better as well.

For the most part the concluding episode is very dull.

Interesting bits of it include seeing Sarah again as a young girl (who we saw before in Whatever Happen to Sarah Jane?) plus mention of Aunt Lavinia and Mrs Chandra bumping into the invisible forcefield which reminds me of the invisible wall in Get Smart.

Clyde saving the day by telling jokes is only slightly satisfying.
