While considerably darker in tone than its parent series, the nine-episode audio drama, which ran from 2002-2006, draws regularly on previously-established continuity. Of course, given the recent television spin-off, ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'', and other events which have since occurred in ''Series/DoctorWho'' continuity, its status as canon is almost certainly negative. The second series ends on a cliffhanger which would never be resolved, as Sarah Jane's return in the revived series of ''Who'' and her subsequent spin-off series meant Big Finish were no longer permitted to use her.

* TookALevelInJerkAss: Sarah Jane herself, after she left the Doctor (see AntiHero above). When she's called on it, she says that she basically ''had'' to in order to make life-or-death decisions for herself and others when the Doctor isn't there to save the day.

Before recording began, however, Big Finish made a decision to distance themselves from BBC Books' continuity, so they swapped out one politically correct environmental protestor for another.

* AncientConspiracy: The Orphans of the Future.
* AntiHero: Arguably Sarah Jane herself. She sometimes comes across as a bit of a JerkAss, puts the greater good ahead of her friends' lives, and in "The TAO Connection," she essentially murders the villain of the episode.
* AristocratsAreEvil: The Orphans of the Future are almost all aristocrats, and both of its dueling factions are pretty nasty.
* BigBad: Miss Winters, an old enemy of Sarah Jane's from her [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E1Robot first adventure with the Fourth Doctor]]. [[spoiler:Until she's unceremoniously killed off between seasons.]]
* BrownNote: What's actually killing people in [[spoiler:"Ghost Town".]]

* TheDragon: Harris, to Miss Winters.
