Sarah Jane walked out confidently towards Draxx, who turned round in surprise.

"Do you realize what you've just done? You've just killed an innocent girl, Draxx. That makes you as bad as any Sontaran." Sarah Jane shouted.

"The target practise went drastically wrong." Draxx lied.

"Oh, and don't give me that nonsense. Do you really think I'd believe you? I saw what happened, Draxx. And so did my friends."

Clyde, Luke, Rani and the Doctors stepped out and joined Sarah Jane.

"Don't think we're going to perform together anymore. We're splitting up. You can say goodbye to our career as a band."

The news reporter watched in awe.

"And so that's it. Sarah Jane and the Sontarans have split up after only a few months. Elizabeth Barron, BBC News."


Sarah Jane and the gang followed Draxx as he walked inside angrily. They hid behind a wall. When the door to the room Draxx had entered closed, they sneaked round and pressed their ears to the door, listening carefully to what the Sontarans (Laxx seemed to be in there too) said.

"Our plan has failed. Not only is that half form Luke no longer alone, but Sarah Jane is no longer distracted. What shall we do next?"

"We must prepare for when Luke is next alone, then send the Sontaran army after them. We shall still continue with our plan to kidnap Luke and use him to win our war against the Rutans."

"So that's what they're after." All but Sarah Jane muttered at the same time.

"Alright, I've got a plan. Luke, you stay with me. That way, the Sontarans don't stand a chance of getting you. Clyde, Rani, you stay with us. We're going to appear on a certain gameshow. As for you, Doctors. You try to thwart whatever the Sontarans try to do backstage."

"Backstage? Oh, no no no no no. You're not thinking of playing against the Sontarans, are you? You can't, Sarah. It's too dangerous."

"He's right. I mean, I'm right. I mean, my previous incarnation is right. Why is meeting myself so complicated?"

"Oh, come on, Doctor. We should be used to it by now. I mean, I should be used to it. I mean, our current incarnations should be used to it. Well, I say current, but that could also mean our first incarnation. I mean, that's current for him, isn't it? Well, me in the past. Well,-"

"Doctor, we're wasting time. We need to book our appearance now. And before it's too late."


Vernon had never seen such an odd looking family. Yet here they were. A bunch of talking potatoes. That mysterious man(John Smith, he called himself) told him backstage they were aliens. He seemed to think he was an idiot. Then again, he did spend one episode of Family Fortunes dancing with Louis Spence. He watched as the cameramen prepared themselves to film probably the strangest episode of Family Fortunes yet.

"3….2…1 and action."

"Hello, and welcome to Family Fortunes! We surveyed 1000 people and asked 'Name something you do when it snows while you're out'. The vast majority of people said 'Panic, then get the sledge out.'"

Vernon Kay laughed at his own joke as the audience chuckled back.

"Now, let me introduce you to our first family. She was one half of Sarah Jane and the Sontarans, until the band split last month. She's a journalist and boy, does she know how to get information from you. Yes, it can only be the Smith family!"

The familiar Family Fortunes music played as the wall bearing the logo slid open and Sarah Jane Smith and the Bannerman road gang made their way to the table.

Vernon thought it was a rather unusual VT the Smith family had prepared. Most of them weren't even part of the same family. Their VT consisted of the dark haired boy whom Vernon later found out was called Clyde introducing them to Sarah's house.

"13 Bannerman road is where Sarah Jane Smith lives and its home to things way beyond your imagination. There's an extraterrestial supercomputer in the wall. Her son, a genetically engineered boy genius. A girl from the other side of the pond. A young investigator from across the road. And a whole universe of adventure. Right here on the doorstep."

"Ready?"

"Always."

"Well, I've got to say, that's the strangest VT I've ever seen. Can you introduce to me your family, Sarah?"

"Certainly, Vernon. I'm Sarah, Luke's mother."

"Nice to meet you, Sarah."

"Nice to meet you, Vernon."

"This is Luke, my adopted son."

"Nice to meet you, Luke."

"Nice to meet you Vernon."

"This is Clyde, one of my friends from across the road."

"Nice to meet you, Clyde."

"Nice to meet you, Vernon."

"This is Rani, my other friend from across the road."

"Nice to meet you, Rani."

"Nice to meet you, Vernon."

"And this is Maria, my friend from America."

"Nice to meet you, Maria."

"Nice to meet you, Vernon."

"Now, we've met out first family, despite the majority of them being friends, but what about our second family? They were the second half of Sarah Jane and the Sontarans. They've had massive chart success with "Fight me maybe" and they look like a bunch of potatoes. Yes, you guessed right. It's the Sontaran family."

The Sontaran's VT was short. It only featured one Sontaran shooting the camera.

The Sontarans walked towards their table at the opposite end of the set, brandishing their weapons and wearing the usual purple Armour.

"Now, Draxx, it's interesting that you all look virtually the same. Can you introduce me to your family?"

"Certainly. I'm Draxx, the greatest warrior clone of Sontar."

"Nice to meet you, Draxx."

"Nice to meet you in battle, Vernon."

"This is my clone, Laxx."

"Nice to meet you, Laxx."

"Nice to meet you in battle, Vernon."

"This is my other clone, Dralaxx."

"Nice to meet you, Dralaxx."

"Nice to meet you in battle,Vernon."

"This is my other other clone, Dralaxxaxx."

"Nice to meet you, Dralaxxaxx."

"Nice to meet you in battle, Vernon."

"And this is my far inferior other other other clone, simply called Sarx."

"Nice to meet you, Sarx."

"Nice to meet you on a show so well known across the universe, Vernon. I'm such a big fan of your show. I shall treasure each moment on here forever. I apolagise if my overreacting causes a heart attack."

"See what I mean? Inferior."

"So, we've met our families, but who will come out on top and who will fall in, as the Sontarans put it,battle? Let's find out as we play Single Money!"
