Trivia / The Sarah Jane Adventures, S4 E9&E10: "Lost in Time"

• Deleted Scene: Dialogue eventually cut from the finished serial would have explained that Miss Wyckham had only recently come to Little Malding after the former schoolteacher, Mrs Thwaite, went missing.
• What Could Have Been: Each of the three mini-adventures underwent some notable changes during the story's development.
  • Sarah Jane's strand was always set during Victorian times — a favourite of Laight's — but originally dealt with a man who was using the power of an ancient statue to become wealthy by predicting the future. When this notion was replaced by the haunted house, a character called Miss Fuller was retained and became Emily Morris.
  • Clyde would have been at Park Vale Comprehensive in 1973, where he became friends with a group of students who were trying to start a glam rock band. Together they fought an alien who was attempting to recover two pieces of a necklace which gave the wearer control over time. The alien was finally driven away when Clyde's knowledge of the future convinced it that Earth was more technologically sophisticated than it had believed.
  • The WWII plot originally included Nazis masquerading as British soldiers. Reverend Bryce was originally captured alongside Clyde and George, but the character was deemed superfluous and dropped.
  • Rani was originally placed in the court of Anne Boleyn. Set during the queen's final days of freedom, this plotline would have included the unveiling of a spy and a scheme to steal a valuable necklace.
