B

Bane Mother

The 'Bane Mother', seen in "Invasion of the Bane", is a very large Bane hidden in the roof of the Bubble Shock! factory controlling the Bane's invasion of Earth. She is disturbed by Kelsey Harper's mobile phone and eventually destroyed in the explosion caused by Luke Smith's activation of the Arcateen 5 alien's summoning device.

D

Davey

'Davey', played by Jamie Davis, seen in "Invasion of the Bane", is a Bane who poses as a PR officer for Bubble Shock! and gives tours of the Bubble Shock! factory. He is also responsible for security and scanning the visitors to provide modelling information for the Bubble Shock! scientists developing the Archetype. He is young and somewhat cocky as well as slightly naïve; his training on human culture led him to believe that a male entering a female-use bathroom was an unforgivable taboo of the culture. Mrs Wormwood assigns Davey to assassinate Sarah Jane Smith but he was beaten back by a special anti-repellant spray which Sarah uses against him. When he fails, Mrs Wormwood informs him that he will become food for the Bane Mother.

H

Kelsey Harper

Kelsey Harper, played by Porsha Lawrence Mavour, is a resident of Bannerman Road who befriends Maria Jackson shortly after Maria and her father move in down the road in the pilot episode, "Invasion of the Bane".
One of the 98 per cent 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 Bane. However, Kelsey fell under the Bane's control owing to her addiction. When Sarah Jane, Maria and Luke Smith defeated the Bane, Kelsey had reportedly recovered, but was denying the existence of aliens.
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.
The character was dropped from the series following the pilot and is to be replaced by Clyde Langer played by Daniel Anthony.

J

Alan Jackson

'Alan Jackson', played by Joseph Millson, is Maria Jackson's father. He is divorced from Maria's mother, Chrissie, and he and Maria are seen moving into Bannerman Road in "Invasion of the Bane". He was one of the 98 per cent of the population that became addicted to Bubble Shock! during the Bane's attempted invasion of Earth. He later made a full recovery. Alan and Chrissie appear to still get on when she visits Maria.

Chrissie Jackson

'Chrissie Jackson', played by Juliet Cowan, is Maria Jackson's mother first seen in "Invasion of the Bane". She is divorced from Maria's father, Alan, but seems to have kept his surname. She lives with her boyfriend, Ifan, who, unlike her, was one of the 98 per cent of the population that became addicted to Bubble Shock! during the Bane's attempted invasion of Earth. Ifan chased her round their bedroom trying to get her to drink Bubble Shock!, which she interpreted as foreplay, until her neighbour arrived doing the same. Ifan and her neighbour later made full recoveries. Chrissie and Alan appear to still get on and she regularly visits him and Maria. Luke Smith describes her as "rude" when she interrupts his and Sarah Jane Smith's conversation with Alan and Maria.

K

K-9 Mark IV

:''Main article: K-9 Mark IV''
Sarah Jane Smith's pet robot dog, 'K-9 Mark IV', is away sealing a black hole created by scientists in Switzerland. His orbit brings him into brief contact with Sarah Jane every so often, as seen in "Invasion of the Bane".

L

Lesley

'Lesley' played by Rungano Nyoni, was Mrs Wormwood's PA and Secretary at Bubble Shock! as seen in "Invasion of the Bane". Although not seen in Bane form, as with the rest of the factory workers, it was implied she was a Bane. She was tasked with killing Sarah Jane Smith in a lift. However Smith intercepted the attack and wounded her.

W

Mrs Wormwood

'Mrs Wormwood', played by Samantha Bond, seen in "Invasion of the Bane", is the head of the Bubble Shock! company, in reality aliens known as the Bane disguised as humans planning to invade Earth. She oversees the creation of the Archetype. She knows of Sarah Jane Smith by reputation prior to meeting her for the first time in ''Invasion of the Bane'', and therefore summons Sarah to her office when she is found intruding in the Bubble Shock! factory. She reveals her true form to Kelsey Harper, before wiping her memory and sending her home with Davey, allowing him to pursue Sarah Jane. When the factory explodes and the Bane are defeated, it is unclear whether Mrs Wormwood escaped; her last words are a promise of later revenge against Sarah Jane.
