The BBC have recently released the official synopses for both parts of The Mad Woman in the Attic, the second story of The Sarah Jane Adventures series three, and they are both now available to view on the BBC Press Office's official website. It should however be warned that they contain spoilers regarding the story's plot and as well as being available elsewhere online, the synopses can also be viewed below;

The Mad Woman in the Attic Part One
Rani investigates strange rumours about a demon living in a funfair at the seaside. What she finds there, however, is far more alarming than that and she makes a decision that affects not only her future, but also the futures of all those she cares about...

Far in the future, in 2059, an old Rani remembers the day when her whole life went wrong. As her younger self investigates mysterious disappearances at an abandoned funfair, she sets into motion a chain of events which unleash the terrible powers of the alien Eve.

The Mad Woman in the Attic Part Two
Alien Eve's powers grow out of control, with everyone caught in her sinister and endless games. As the echoes of an ancient war threaten the modern world, the danger extends all the way to the year 2059. If Rani fails to change her own destiny, then everyone is doomed.

The first part of 'The Mad Woman in the Attic' is set for transmission in the United Kingdom and Ireland on the twenty second of October at 4:35pm on BBC One. Part two will then air on the following day at the same time on the same channel and more details about this year’s transmission times can be found here. A trailer for Prisoner of the Judoon, the first story of The Sarah Jane Adventures series three, can be viewed here and more information will be posted on this site as soon as it becomes available.
