Rani Takes on the World is Big Finish spin-off of The Sarah Jane Adventures and takes place some years after the death of Sarah Jane Smith as told in Farewell, Sarah Jane.
It starts with the first set Beyond Bannermen Road and starts with Here Today written by Joseph Lidster, a writer on SJA
This stars Anjli Mohindra reprising Rani.
Also reprising their characters from SJA are Daniel Anthony as Clyde and Mina Anwar as Rani's mother Gita.
As stated before this takes place after Sarah Jane's death with Rani and Clyde now fully grown up,
At the close of SJA on TV it was implied Rani and Clyde would become a couple hence comes the amalgamation of their names to Clani.
However Clani wasn't touched upon in the later Farewell, Sarah Jane and Rani Takes on the World does not have them as a couple with Clyde now in a relationship with someone else Phoenix and are now expecting a child together.
The term Clani does get use however in Here Today but that is in reference to Rani and Clyde as a team.
The title Here Today is in reference to this episode being a time loop story.
Rani and Clyde realise they are in a time loop due to them having Artron energy..
There is also one other person who knows about being in time loop as this person also has Artron energy that of an old woman by the name of Patricia Miller.
The cause of a time loop is that of a flying saucer flown by an alien who briefly had a romance with Patricia when she was a young girl.
This is a Brief Encounter-type premise and is not dissimilar to the premise presented in The Unicorn and the Wasp which told about Lady Eddison's own brief romance with an alien when she was a young woman, the consequence of which was the birth of the said wasp.
Here Today overall is not a badly delivered episode in starting Rani's own series.
One issue that comes up here is Rani missing Sarah Jane which I guess was to be expected before Rani could truly move on from that.
