- 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.
