Episodes
Luke is all set to go to Oxford University a year earlier than usual but,in the days before he is due to leave,he experiences dreams for the first time in his life. They are in fact recurring nightmares in which he is rejected by Sarah Jane,Rani and Clyde,who replace him with another boy Josh. Worse, he is pursued by the Nightmare Man,who threatens to materialize in the real world. Luke describes his dreams on a Cam-Corder but finally cannot stay awake any loner and,as he seemingly ends up in limbo,the Nightmare Man steps into the attic.
Once materialized the Nightmare Man turns Rani,Clyde and Luke's dreams into nightmares and leaves the house,sending everyone in the street to sleep.Sarah Jane plugs K-9 into Mr. Smith,having seen Luke's recording,telling him he is only dreaming and needs to wake up. Luke is able to communicate with Rani and Clyde in their sleep so that their combined strengths banish the nightmares and put them all in the same dream,confronting the Nightmare Man. Unable to withstand their combined power he is spun off into Clyde's nightmare and trapped there. Next day Luke leaves for Oxford.
As Rani's mother drags her reluctant husband off to join a U.F.O. spotting group run by Miss Ocean Waters,Androvax the Veil exits a vault in the basement of a disused asylum which he has used to travel to Earth,seeking help for his dying planet,the help being provided by two halves of a combination to the vault which he is seeking. Previously a trickster who travelled using the bodies of others,Sarah Jane now believes him,especially as three deadly androids,led by Mr. Dread,are pursuing him and try to kill Sarah Jane,Rani and Clyde. Clyde allows himself to be the Veil's host as he and the women visit Ocean,who had a half-forgotten encounter with Mr. Dread some forty years earlier and who possesses half the means of the combination. However the androids also arrive at her house,meaning murderous business.
Mr. Dread announces that if Androvax activates the vault and returns to his planet, Earth will be destroyed. the Veil switches bodies to Gita,making her drive him to the asylum,though Rani and Clyde trick him into leaving her. the androids arrive and,whilst two of them destroy each other,Mr. Dread uses his power source to allow Androvax to escape in search of a new planet whilst the Earth remains saved. Gita's memory has to be wiped of all she has seen however and Ocean,whose remaining half of the key must never be used,persuaded that there was no alien in Ealing.
Sarah Jane is told by Colonel Tia Karim of UNIT that The Doctor is dead and so she goes with Rani and Clyde to UNIT's underground headquarters in Wales, where a rocket will fire the doctor's remains into space. Jo Jones, formerly Jo Grant, another of the doctor's friends from the past, arrives with her grandson Santiago and, like Sarah Jane, does not believe that The Doctor is dead. The three youngsters overhear the Shansheeth, giant birds who allegedly found The Doctor's body, plotting to lead the two women into a trap. Then The Doctor appears, having exchanged energies with Clyde, who finds himself on another planet as the Shansheeth try to kill the doctor for real.
Investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith, with the help of her adopted son, his friends, and an intelligent supercomputer, combats evil alien forces here on Earth.
