This is a list of minor characters from the television series The Sarah Jane Adventures.
A
Androvax
Androvax, also known as Androvax the Veil, was an alien criminal first appearing in "Prisoner of the Judoon" who was wanted for twelve counts of global genocide by the Judoon after having begun a campaign of extermination when his species was wiped out by their dying star. Captured by Captain Tybo of the Judoon, Androvax escaped upon the Earth when the prison ship crashed and was chased by Tybo, Sarah Jane and her friends. Using nanotechnology, Androvax built a replica of the ship from the Roswell crash in 1947 to escape but was defeated and captured.
In "The Vault of Secrets", an escaped Androvax returns to Earth after learning during his trial that a hundred members of his species escaped the destruction of their world and survive in cryogenic sleep on a ship in a hyperdimensional vault on Earth. Running afoul of Sarah Jane's team again, Androvax, dying after being fatally poisoned during his escape, earns their sympathy and help. Androvax succeeds in recovering the ship containing the survivors of his race, but his attempt to launch the ship from inside the vault puts the Earth into danger. Sarah Jane manages to get Mister Dread to safely teleport the ship into outer space where Androvax departs to find a new home for his species.

One of the 98% of the population addicted to the soft drink Bubble Shock!, Kelsey took Maria to see the Bubble Shock! factory, where she became embroiled in Sarah Jane Smith's attempt to fight off the invading aliens, the
She is attracted to the human form of Davey and to Luke and likes Hollyoaks. She wonders if she is fat, and if she will ever be kissed.[1]

In the first story of the second season, The Last Sontaran, Alan is offered a job in America, but contemplates taking it. At the end of the story he takes the job, and he and Maria leave Bannerman Road. However, the group still call for his computer expertise on occasion; Millson appears as Alan Jackson via webcam in The Mark of the Berserker, when in Sarah Jane's absence, Luke and Rani require him to hack into a UNIT database for critical information.

K-9 Mark IV
Sarah Jane Smith's pet robot dog, K-9 Mark IV, voiced by John Leeson, is away for much of the series' run, sealing a black hole created by scientists in Switzerland. In the pilot episode, "Invasion of the Bane", Sarah Jane states that he has been away for a year and a half. His orbit brings him into brief contact with Sarah Jane every so often, as seen in "Invasion of the Bane".
He also plays a major role toward the end of the final episode of Series 1. By exchanging laser fire with Mr Smith, K-9 provides Sarah Jane with the distraction she needs to download the Armageddon Virus into Mr Smith. After this fight, K-9 returns to the black hole.
In the finale of Doctor Who Series 4, "Journey's End", Sarah Jane calls on K-9 to leave the black hole again to transmit the TARDIS base code to Mr Smith so that the latter can access its navigation system and direct the TARDIS back to the solar system whilst towing the Earth home.
In Series 3, K-9 permanently leaves the black hole because Eve's ship needed to use the black hole's energy, thus closing it. K-9 departs the Smith home again in "
