Mr Smith is a fictional extra-terrestrial computer voiced by Alexander Armstrong which appears in the British children's science fiction television series, The Sarah Jane Adventures. It is installed in the attic of Sarah Jane Smith's home, and is used to hack into other systems; Sarah Jane asserts that it can hack "into anything." It first appeared in Invasion of the Bane.
[edit] History
It is hidden behind the chimney breast in Sarah Jane's attic at 13 Bannerman Road and reveals itself on Sarah's vocal command. It can also request the attention of Sarah Jane and be heard quite clearly from her living room three floors below. In Invasion of the Bane Sarah Jane is somewhat unwilling to allow either Maria Jackson, the young boy they rescued, or Kelsey Harper into her attic or to see Mr Smith. However, after Kelsey sneaks upstairs, Sarah Jane reveals Mr Smith to them when she uses it to hack into the Bubble Shock! factory computers in order to issue a warning to Mrs. Wormwood and the other Bane.
Mr Smith is also able to create replicas of official documents for Sarah Jane's use; for example, it created the necessary documents she needed to adopt Luke. According to the official website[1] Mr Smith has two access levels and Sarah Jane has only basic level clearance, as Mr Smith only allows members of the, as of yet unknown, species that created it access to level two. It constantly scans all media, police, and other similar sources for reports of alien incursions. It also scans for celebrity gossip. Its name is a tribute to the Doctor's common alias 'John Smith'.
