- Complete Monster: "Odd Bob the Clown", really an Energy Being from the Jeggorabax Cluster is a powerful, sadistic being that gorges itself on fear, specifically favouring the parental fear of losing a child. Arriving on Earth in 13th century, in the persona of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, Odd Bob abducted all the children from the town of Hamelin, trapping them between dimensions to simply fade away. For over 700 years, Odd Bob repeated his twisted acts of mass child abduction and murder, chilling the hearts of parents around the world. Setting up in London in the persona of "Elijah Spellman", Odd Bob kidnapped several local teens, stalking and terrorising his targets beforehand, as preparation for his big plan to "chill the blood of a nation" by disappearing all the children of Park Vale School. Foiled by Sarah Jane—whom Odd Bob had tried to prey on in her own childhood—Odd Bob responded by taking Luke.
- He Really Can Act: Bradley Walsh, known for his comedic roles, is absolutely terrifying as the Monster Clown.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Both Bradley Walsh and Anjli Mohindra would appear again together in the main series, though this time the roles are reversed.
- Serial Numbers Filed Off: This story borrows a lot from It, almost beat for beat. It can basically be described as "the one where Sarah Jane fights Pennywise".
