'''''Dreamland''''' was the final release in the [[Sarah Jane Smith (audio series)|''Sarah Jane Smith'' audio stories]] produced by [[Big Finish Productions]]. It concluded the [[Crimson Chapter]] story-arc that had began in the first series, and it also concluded Sarah and [[Josh Townsend]] adventures together.


==Publisher's summary==
In obvious anticipation of being able to make a follow-up series, it ended on a [[cliffhanger]]. However, [[Elisabeth Sladen]] was put under contract for ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' soon after the recording of this adventure, and the ''Sarah Jane Smith'' audio series was subsequently discontinued — leaving the cliffhanger unresolved.
''Having lived a life of adventure as a traveller in time and space, returning to a quiet life on present day Earth was never going to be easy. Ex-journalist, Sarah Jane Smith is determined to make a difference in her own way.'' ''Fiercely independent, Sarah relies on her own wit, judgement and keen sense of morality to challenge the evils of the world. Life is never quiet for long. Trouble has a habit of finding Sarah -- even when she’s not looking for it.''


Sarah Jane Smith is still dealing with the tragic consequences of recent events when she is offered the chance of a lifetime -- a place on the world’s first tourist flight into space. The trip’s sponsor, Sir [[Donald Wakefield]], believes it is her destiny. But after her recent experiences, what does Sarah still believe in?

==Notes==
== Worldbuilding ==
*This story ends on a (pretty big) cliff hanger for Sarah Jane Smith. However this would turn out to be the final episode of this particular series of audio dramas. This is because later in the same month that ''Dreamland'' was released, [[Elisabeth Sladen]] returned as Sarah Jane in the ''Doctor Who'' episode, ''[[School Reunion]]'', followed shortly thereafter by her own spin-off TV series, ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''; neither directly follows the continuity of the audio series.
* The ''[[Book of Tomorrows]]'' is based on the journals of [[Giuliano|Duke Giuliano]], who wrote of his city being plagued by the Brotherhood of [[Demnos]].
* Sir [[Donald Wakefield]] is Josh's father.

*This is the first space tourism flight, which may place it in the same period as [[EDA]]: ''[[Escape Velocity]]'' which features the beginnings of ''private'' space operators.
* This audio drama was recorded on [[24 November (production)|24 November]] [[2005 (production)|2005]] at [[the Moat Studios]].
*Sometime after this adventure Sarah Jane, having attempted to repair K9 and failed, took to taking K9 around in the boot of her car, which she replaced with a Nissan Figaro by the time of 2008-09

You may be looking for the Tenth Doctor animated adventure or the base nicknamed "Dreamland".

Dreamland was the final release in the Sarah Jane Smith audio stories produced by Big Finish Productions. It concluded the Crimson Chapter story-arc that had began in the first series, and it also concluded Sarah and Josh Townsend adventures together.

In obvious anticipation of being able to make a follow-up series, it ended on a cliffhanger. However, Elisabeth Sladen was put under contract for The Sarah Jane Adventures soon after the recording of this adventure, and the Sarah Jane Smith audio series was subsequently discontinued — leaving the cliffhanger unresolved.
