00:00Problem you've got it CBBC iPlayer
00:16My name is Sarah Jane Smith and I defend the world from aliens. These are my alien files
00:22the collected information gathered by me and the rest of the Bannerman Road gang about
00:28Extraterrestrials that have threatened our planet and might do so again
00:34The universe is amazing and don't be fooled by what some people might tell you it's full of strange and wonderful life
00:41I've met so much of it out there among the stars and here on earth, but not all of it is friendly
00:48Pay attention because one day earth might be depending on you
00:58Entering the alien files this time are the ultimate space warrior clones the Sontarans Luke's creator
01:04Mrs. Wormwood and her fearsome Bane mother
01:13Mr. Smith, I need you
01:16You
01:21Luke welcome back from university and without the dog
01:25I see an added bonus canine seems to like in Oxford said something about the stimulating company
01:32My sensors detect a highly volatile biological culture in that bag Luke
01:37Have you encountered an alien threat to poison earth's atmosphere?
01:41No, that's my washing
01:43Analysis results would suggest incineration of bio infected fabrics
01:47No way, mr. Smith, you're not burning my jeans. Mama wash them and they'll be fine if you say so Luke
01:55But you wouldn't if you had a spectrographic biogram instead of a nose
01:59Well, I don't and they'll be fine. Mom said I need to talk to you about uploading to the alien files
02:05Whatever that is your input to the project would be very welcome. The washing can wait. This is aliens
02:11We don't get enough of them over in Oxford. Tell me what's it all about?
02:14Sarah Jane is concerned that a time might come when the world is in danger and
02:19Neither she you Clyde nor Rani are available to come to its aid
02:24So the alien files are like a manual that other people could use
02:28Precisely Luke alien files preparing to upload
02:32information gathering commences in three two
02:35one
02:42Might I suggest that a suitable place to begin an inventory of alien entities would be with one very closely connected to you
02:49You mean the being other than Sarah Jane who likes to call herself your mother mrs. Wormwood
02:57Mrs. Wormwood let the Bane force invading earth taking the form of a red-headed human female as she is able to do using an
03:05image translator
03:06Quite a difference when she doesn't know
03:09Indeed the natural form for the vast majority of the Bane is a three meter tall beige tentacle creature with a shell
03:18The Bane are intelligent fast-moving and fierce
03:22Pads on their seven tentacles allow them to cling to walls and ceilings if any Bane fails in their mission
03:28The punishment is being eaten alive
03:31To sum up
03:33Mrs. Wormwood is a Bane who took human form when leading their invasion force by using her image translator
03:40But she can revert to her natural tentacle state in seconds. The Bane planned to invade earth and acquire power over all humans
03:49And I was part of the plan not that I knew at the time
03:53It's amazing thinking back. It seems like such a long time ago
03:58Technically speaking the Bane plan was in action before you were created
04:03That's right
04:04When all this began I was still being programmed by mrs. Wormwood
04:07I only found out what had been happening afterwards when Maria told me
04:11She had just moved into Bannerman Road and everywhere there were ads for this drink
04:20It was called bubble shock and everyone was going mad for it
04:24There were even free buses laid on to take people for a tour around the factory where they made it
04:32Although there were some who were not so keen like Maria
04:38Don't care let's make sure all the way the way can stop and taste fat
04:43I think it's disgusting you're one of the 2% then doesn't welcome 2% of people. That's a fact
04:48Drink it
04:49Sarah Jane had heard about this amazing new drink that most kids found irresistible and was suspicious about the whole thing
04:55So she decided to investigate
05:01Sometimes when dealing with aliens, it's all down to going with your instincts
05:05Sarah Jane knew there was something not quite right about this one to drink and a quick check on her scanner confirmed her suspicions
05:11I
05:15Knew it
05:16Aliens were behind it
05:18But she didn't find the warmest of welcomes when she encountered the woman behind the bubble shock mrs
05:23Wormwood and as she was soon to discover an alien in human form
05:28100%
05:30Yes, but organic what so now don't be safe. I can hardly get away our recipe
05:34I checked with some scientists I know your social circle sounds fascinating
05:39They tried to analyze a bottle of bubble shot. Oh, what's the point of analysis? It's all chemicals and sweeteners and e-numbers
05:47test of a drink
05:49He's in the tasting
05:51Meanwhile on the tour of the factory Maria's friend Kelsey had wandered off to make a phone call and was she in for a surprise
06:09Oh
06:19Kelsey had stumbled upon the form of Bane served by mrs. Wormwood and the others the Bane mother
06:25The Bane mother's huge tentacles are fearsome weapons and when failed Bane find themselves on the menu
06:32It's the Bane mother that does the eating
06:35But the most important attribute of the Bane mother is the chemical that she secretes
06:40That was the secret ingredient of the bubble shock drink that was intended to allow the Bane to take control
06:47And
06:49To help in that plan the Bane were making a perfect human which they called the archetype
06:55Created from the DNA of tens of thousands of visitors to the factory and the archetype was me
07:05Because the Bane mother was highly sensitive to phone signals Kelsey's mobile had set off an alarm system and that was when I woke up
07:12I
07:36Didn't know what was happening or who anyone was even who I was
07:40I had the combined intelligence of thousands of humans right then I was pretty clueless about everything a
07:46Harsh assessment of your grasp of your immediate surroundings, but ultimately an accurate one
07:53The one thing I did know was that I had to get away from that place and then this woman arrived
07:58Little did I know how important she was gonna become in my life and she helped me and my new friend Maria get away
08:10It's on a clip stick
08:14She bundled me into this green thing she called a car and
08:18We had escaped. I ended up here on Bannerman Road and it felt like home
08:26There was so much to take in good job on a quick learner
08:30There was trying to understand what these two girls were on about for one thing. This place is beautiful. Thank you
08:36Not so bad yourself. What does that mean?
08:39He's mine. It's that good or bad. That's bad. That's very bad and
08:44Then there was a bigger problem outside a huge thing with tentacles climbing up the house, which even I could tell was not good
08:55But being ready to cope with the unknown is all part of the deal when facing hostile aliens
09:03The thing coming up the stairs was one of the bang sent by mrs. Wormwood to get rid of Sarah Jane
09:09No, it's me
09:28Luckily though Sarah Jane had some woos alien bug repellent spray around which can stop any Bane in its tracks
09:34And
09:38That bought her some thinking time
09:45It's that ingredient babe, yeah, well, it's organic more than that
09:50It's alive species identified Bane. It's not just an ingredient. It's an alien
09:57She worked out that mrs
09:59Wormwood was using the Bane chemical in bubble shock to gain control of Earth's population and
10:03That they had created me as an experiment to try and find a way to make the Bane chemical
10:09Irresistible to the 2% of people who didn't like it
10:12Mr. Smith. Yes, sir. I need you
10:15Time for Sarah Jane to have a quiet word with mrs. Wormwood using you. Mr. Smith to hack into the frequency of the bubble shock
10:22communication system
10:246 5 8 7 5 7 5 6 2 9 8 7 0 3 2 1 0 5 dash 5
10:29That's like their phone number fishing link connecting
10:37Oh very clever, I know who you are and what you are
10:43Bane now leave this planet and if I don't then
10:48I'll have to do something
10:51You
10:53Very well in the language of your young ones bring it
11:02Now the Sarah Jane was on to her mrs. Wormwood went for the more direct approach mother
11:08Events have escalated we must declare war on mankind
11:12Open your mind mother
11:14You must convert the humans containing Bane
11:18They will convert the rest let this become
11:22Bane world
11:33The Bane mother began to exercise mind control over all bubble shock lovers
11:40And as everyone else seemed to be falling under the Bane spell it was down to Sarah Jane Maria and I to stop mrs
11:46Wormwood
11:49I'm coming with you. You are staying here
11:53Dad drink it
11:55Dad no dad drink
12:11When they got there they discovered that the bubble shock factory had been secured with a deadlock seal
12:20Not that Sarah Jane let that stop her
12:25I
12:30Warned you leave this planet, but mrs. Wormwood had a surprise up her sleeve to
12:36Mother descend
12:51Maria remembered how the Bane mother reacted to mobile phone signals
12:55That
13:01Didn't work, but I picked up something in the attic that I thought just might do better
13:07What is that a signal device from another world and what of it like a mobile phone?
13:11I'll need to call across the stars. It must be a million times more powerful. Then it's a good thing
13:17You don't know our frequency. Mr. Smith said it out loud
13:21I remember
13:23You gave me the memory of 10,000 humans
13:53You were less than one day old Luke and you had already saved the world by destroying the bubble shock manufacturing plant
13:59Like I say, I'm a quick learner
14:04I would be dead without you. We all would you're amazing the pair of you amazing. This is happiness. Yes
14:15There was a lot to be happy about I was free from
14:23You
14:53You
15:23You
15:53You
16:23You
16:53You
17:23You
17:53You
18:23You
18:53You
19:23You
19:53You
20:23You
20:53You
21:23You
21:53You
22:23You
22:53You
23:23You
23:53You
24:23You
24:53You
25:23You
25:53You
26:23You
26:53You
27:23You
27:53You
28:23You
28:36Missy Wormwood in the Bane Sarah Jane agreed to adopt me as a son and I got a new name. I
28:42Like Luke less of a mouthful then the archetype and I'm not sure how that would have gone down at school
28:49The would certainly have been an unusual first name now, but most importantly I've got myself a mom
28:57Although as we discovered Sarah Jane still had competition for that position. Yeah, that's right
29:03I'd settled in started at school made friends help save the world a few times
29:08Indeed, you could help Sarah Jane follow the Slavine's plan to extinguish the Sun and been instrumental in opposing the evil intentions of Kudlak
29:17Then I had a nightmare
29:23This was all really weird, I don't usually have dreams least of all about her
29:35Then next morning Ronnie was at the door with really bad news
29:40Gita had last been seen at her florist's shop. So we headed straight there where we found a check signed by
29:48Mrs. Wormwood
29:53But this was no ordinary check you put it right on that mr. Smith
29:57The check is for the Mercian Bank, but the sort code and account digits are not what they purport to be
30:03But the sort code and account digits are not what they purport to be so what are they they form a tetric biaxial numeric code
30:11deciphering now
30:14It's an address and at that address Sarah Jane and Ronnie found Gita
30:20And you can guess who else I thought it would be better this way
30:26Fewer witnesses, this is Wormwood Sarah Jane Smith
30:32It's still involving children in your dangerous games, what do you want?
30:39I want
30:41Your help I
30:43Beg your pardon
30:44Believe me. I take no pleasure in this business. That was a surprise and a bigger one was to come
30:55Surrender
31:02They were Bane, but it seemed to be mrs. Wormwood who they were most interested in hunting down
31:13She fended them off with her phonic disruptor and ran for it mrs. Wormwood being chased by her own kind. No one had seen that coming
31:20And
31:30He was another unexpected twist mrs. Wormwood my mom's sworn enemy saving her life
31:40So what was this all about why had the rest of the Bane turned on mrs. Wormwood
31:46Don't understand the Bane after you my mission on earth was a failure for which I was cast out from the Bane kindred
31:53Oh, that's why they're hunting you. No, I am hunted because I want to stop them taking over the galaxy
31:58Mrs. Wormwood trying to save the galaxy almost as unbelievable as her visiting this attic. So this is from where you save the world
32:06comfortingly
32:08unsophisticated
32:10It was a weird situation
32:11Sarah Jane is my mom. She brought me up, but mrs. Wormwood had made me
32:15She brought me to life and here she was right here in this attic. I
32:20Made you rather handsome
32:22didn't I
32:23for human
32:25And there can't be anyone at your school to match your intelligence
32:28Just get to the point
32:31Have you ever heard the legend of Horace of the Dark Empire?
32:37No, mr. Smith
32:39The Dark Empire was a period of tyrannical galactic rule by a mysterious and reportedly immortal alien entity called Horath
32:47Who crushed the civilizations of all but the most primitive planets?
32:51Horath was defeated but couldn't be killed
32:54So his body and his consciousness were divided and they were hidden at opposite ends of the galaxy
33:00Are you saying that the Bane have found one his consciousness in the Chaldean cluster?
33:06They have a mercenary agent bringing it to us and don't tell me this is where they hid the other half, right
33:143,000 years ago. There was nowhere more primitive than Earth
33:20Little has changed
33:22Mom agreed to help after some precautionary measures. Mr. Smith contain mrs. Wormwood instantly
33:30What treachery is this? Don't worry. You'll be perfectly safe while I'm gone
33:33How can you know that the Bane have agents everywhere?
33:42Mum and Ronnie headed to units legendary and secret black archive of alien objects and information
33:52It's huge
33:55The most extensive collection of alien artifacts anywhere on earth
34:00They were in search of a scroll which said where the body of the entity Horath was hidden
34:08Working with mrs. Wormwood like this was hardly an ideal option
34:11but it's worth putting in the alien files that sometimes there is no ideal option and
34:17This plan had to be better than the rest of the Bane getting their hands on the body of Horath as well as its consciousness
34:23and taking control of the galaxy
34:30You
34:34Sarah Jane had the scroll
34:39While back on Bannerman Road Clyde and I were not expecting visitors, sorry, this isn't a good time especially this kind
34:47Something's happened. They found me. They will eat me alive. You have to help me Luke. I am your mother
34:55Sarah Jane had left strict instructions not to release mrs. Wormwood under any circumstances
35:00What could I do? Whatever mrs. Wormwood had done in the past. I couldn't just leave her for the Bane to eat her
35:05Mrs. Wormwood had said that Bane will after her to punish her for failing in the bubble shock plan
35:11Although we started to get an idea
35:13We have to escape the back way!
35:15What's she doing out here?
35:17We can't leave her, they'll kill us!
35:19Okay, on three, run for it.
35:21One...
35:23Forget it, just run!
35:25Mrs. Wormwood had said the Bane were after her to punish her for failing in the bubble shock plan.
35:31Hyponic disruptor isn't working!
35:33Although we started to get an idea, all was not what it seemed when an even more unexpected visitor made an appearance...
35:41...and saved Mrs. Wormwood's skin.
35:44Kargh? Such perfect timing.
35:48The last person I was expecting to see was Sontaran Commander Kargh.
35:52We'd only recently sent him back to Sontar after he tried to destroy the Earth.
35:56Perhaps you could outline your previous encounter with Commander Kargh.
36:00Okay, let's start with the data profile.
36:04The Sontarans originate from the planet Sontar, in Mutter's spiral.
36:08They are all identical in appearance.
36:10Humanoid with grey-brown skin, stocky bodies and large heads.
36:15Or as Clyde calls them, the baked spuds from outer space.
36:19How very Clyde.
36:22They are a proud and war-loving race, obsessed with honour in battle.
36:26While others such as the Daleks might pride themselves on their warlike qualities,
36:31the Sontarans have been cloned as the perfect fighting species.
36:35One major Sontaran weakness, however,
36:38is that a blow to the probic vent on the back of their necks, where they absorb energy,
36:43can stun or even kill them.
36:45That's how we stopped Kargh when he attacked Earth once before.
36:48His plan had been to crash satellites into power plants across the world,
36:52until Maria's mum put the boot in.
36:57Indeed, to some, the Sontarans are war-obsessed and fearless.
37:02This clone race of fighting machines are single-minded opponents.
37:06We'd packed him back off to Sontar and didn't expect to hear from him again in a hurry.
37:10So seeing him back and teamed up with Mrs Wormwood,
37:13that's what you might call double trouble.
37:15Then soon, Sarah-Jane Smith shall lead us to Horath
37:19and make us Empress of the Galaxy.
37:23And she will crawl before me as we crush her world.
37:28When Sarah-Jane returned with the scroll,
37:30she found Mrs Wormwood wasn't being so friendly anymore.
37:34Give me the scroll.
37:38Don't do it, Sarah-Jane.
37:39Oh, I suggest you do.
37:41Or Kargh will disintegrate your friends one at a time.
37:45What a surprise.
37:46Mrs Wormwood, with Kargh at her side, was hatching an evil plan after all.
37:52You're mad.
37:54It will destroy you.
37:55It will destroy you.
37:57The Bane's plan had been to tap into the awesome power of the ancient entity Horath
38:01by uniting its body with its consciousness.
38:04But Kargh had stolen its consciousness from them.
38:07And now Mum had brought them the scroll which said where Horath's body was.
38:11Mrs Wormwood and Kargh were planning to become rulers of the galaxy together.
38:16The eye of Horath begins to open
38:22and the galaxy shall tremble.
38:28But the cracks were starting to appear in the Wormwood and Kargh alliance.
38:32Kargh the Slave.
38:34Kargh the Shambles, more like.
38:38Ouch.
38:39That phonic disruptor of Mrs Wormwood's hurts.
38:42Now, do we understand each other?
38:44Yes.
38:45Somehow you always knew that partnership was going to have its problems.
38:48Indeed.
38:49The collaboration between two power-hungry aliens like Wormwood and Kargh had a fatal flaw.
38:55However much they needed one another, neither could trust the other.
39:02Those problems only got worse when we reached the stone circle where Horath's body was located.
39:07This is it.
39:08The birthplace of a new galactic aeon.
39:12The age of Wormwood.
39:14And Kargh.
39:17If you really want the Empire to sound like a firm of solicitors.
39:21No female can rule an empire alone.
39:24You need me, Wormwood.
39:27And Kargh's suspicions seemed to be confirmed as a portal began to open
39:32and I suddenly seemed to be part of Mrs Wormwood's plans for galactic domination.
39:37Soon the most almighty power in the universe will be ours.
39:43What treachery is this, Vayne?
39:45The half-form has no place in our bargain.
39:48Consider our arrangement.
39:51Terminated.
40:00Join me.
40:02It was a no-brainer, really.
40:04What would I want with being the ruler of a galaxy?
40:06It's complicated enough being a teenager.
40:09My son.
40:12Look!
40:14Mum!
40:18Thank goodness you're alright.
40:21Mrs Wormwood was going in alone and about to unleash the powers of Horath.
40:26Well, Kargh had been humiliated.
40:29And it's worth putting in the alien files that when a Somtaran's pride has been dented,
40:33that's when they are at their most dangerous.
40:36I've been a disgrace to Sontar.
40:39I've betrayed the Brotherhood of Warriors.
40:42With your deaths, the age of Wormwood shall begin!
40:47Sontar!
41:01What happened?
41:02Mrs Wormwood was about to discharge her ring when Kargh pushed her into the portal.
41:06I think it sort of overloaded the system.
41:09I thought I'd seen a lot of crazy stuff, but the universe saved by a Sontaran.
41:14That's not something you come across every day.
41:16Mrs Wormwood underestimated Sontaran pride.
41:19Her use of Kargh as a henchman ultimately reminded him of his lost, if questionable, valour as a Sontaran warrior.
41:27The big question is, what happened to both of them when Kargh pushed Mrs Wormwood into the vortex?
41:32I kind of hope we never find out.
41:34To conclude, Luke...
41:38Uploading three new entries into the alien files,
41:41as a permanent record for all to learn about these deadly threats to Earth's safety.
41:50The Sontarans. War-obsessed and totally fearless.
41:55This clone race of fighting machines are single-minded opponents.
41:59They are driven by pride, but that can also be their downfall.
42:04Mrs Wormwood. The human form taken by this leader of the Bane invasion force.
42:10When not using her image translator, she reverts to her tentacled Bane form,
42:15allowing her to cling to walls and ceilings.
42:18She seeks power over all humans. Don't trust her.
42:24Bigger than the rest of the Bane, her huge tentacles are fearsome weapons.
42:30The chemicals she secretes can allow the Bane to control those who drink it.
42:34She eats her enemies, so always keep your distance.
42:38This is Luke Smith, logging off after Alien Files Update.
42:41And if you encounter either Mrs Wormwood or Kargh, then good luck. You'll need it.
