Dreamland is the final in Big Finish’s Sarah Jane Smith audio series starring Lis Sladen as the title character.
Written by David Bishop and was released in April 2006, five years to the months prior to Lis Sladen’s passing.
Dreamland sees the return of Lis Sladen’s real-life daughter Sadie Miller as Sarah’s friend Nat after being absent in the previous two episodes. Not a reflection on Sadie Miller but I never really liked Nat. In Dreamland I was not impressed with her when she asked Sarah whether she has heard from him Sarah thought “him” refer to Harry but Nat says no and meant Josh instead. Nat could at least asked whether Harry had called Sarah but didn’t and was so disappointed by that.
Dreamland begins with resolution to the cliffhanger to the previous episode Fatal Consequences and a certain revelation about why Josh worked for Sir Donald.
Upon hearing of Nat’s experience on the death of her mother felt very prophetic to Sadie’s own experience with her mother Lis Sladen’s own passing.
Dreamland refers to the nickname given to Area 51 and sets up well the cliffhanger at the end.
The cliffhanger wasn’t resolved as Dreamland was released in the same month as Lis Sladen’s TV return as Sarah in Doctor Who: School Reunion and then eventually to The Sarah Jane Adventures. I like to think that Sarah’s TV return took place sometime after Dreamland.
Dreamland was mentioned in the SJA 2009 season opener Prisoner of the Judoon but it wasn't a reference to the audio story but a foreshadowing of writer Phil Ford's own animated Doctor Who story Dreamland and it is the same Dreamland that is Area 51.
