The Sarah Jane Adventures Episodes 53 & 54:
The Man Who Wasn't There

Plot

Sarah Jane is invited to a special advance preview of the SerfBoard, a revolutionary new computer created by the reclusive Joseph Serf. She is accompanied by Luke and Sky, who are startled to spot Serf “glitching” during his presentation, as if he were some kind of hologram. More chillingly, some of the other journalists in attendance start to behave strangely, as if the SerfBoard were exerting a malign influence on them. Soon Sarah Jane and her family discover that there are aliens working in a secret subbasement at Serf Systems... but there is more to their involvement than first appears.
