Dr Who is and always has been what is known as a "family programme", which means it is suitable to be watched by most of the family, with an advisory for very young children. It is broadcast at 7pm, well outside what would be normally the childrens' slots.
The Sarah Jane Adventures are being specifically made for children, and are being made by and will be broadcast on the BBC's children's channel, CBBC. Russel T Davies started his writing career with a similar programme, made for children and broadcast in what used to be called the "Children's Hour", called Dark Season and followed it with another called Century Falls. Other CBBC stuff recently includes the excellent Shoebox Zoo.
Other children's TV made by the Beeb includes adaptions of Joan Aiken, Margaret Mahy and Diana Wynne Jones, all broadcast in the children's slots between 4:30 and 5:40pm.
