Which considering the whole broadcast year +1 thing only really makes sense if she's rounding because it's late in the year 2010 or if the season's actually set in 2011. Sarah Jane Smith and dates do not go well together. Death of the Doctor has the additional problem of the Doctor himself being a time traveller, making it impossible to verify its date from his own side of things. For the Doctor, it's after The Big Bang, but for Sarah Jane, it's after The Vault of Secrets and two serials before Lost in Time.
