Sarah Jane Smith (audio series): Difference between revisions

Released between 2002 and 2006, [[Big Finish Productions]]' '''''Sarah Jane Smith''''' series of audio dramas explored the life of [[Sarah Jane Smith]] in the years after she was left on [[Earth]] by the Doctor. The series took place in the present day, and apparently after the events of the television story ''[[A Girl's Best Friend (TV story)|A Girl's Best Friend]]''. [[K9 Mark III]] did not appear in these stories, as he had broken down and was in a box in Sarah Jane's attic; he was dismantled by [[Hilda Winters]] when she found the box.

The final episode of the series, ''[[Dreamland (audio story)|Dreamland]]'', was released only a few weeks before Sladen returned to ''Doctor Who'' as Sarah Jane in ''[[School Reunion (TV story)|School Reunion]]''. This return to ''Doctor Who'' led to the commissioning of a new TV spin-off series, ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'', which in turn resulted in the Big Finish audio series terminating after nine stories, and ''Dreamland'' unavoidably ending on a cliffhanger.

The TV continuation does reference the events of the audios, i.e. ''School Reunion'' revealed that K9 had been non-functional for some time. There is also mention of Aunt Lavinia leaving Sarah the house. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)|The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]]'')
