An imaginary heaven? Do not, do not come down to earth (5-5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

never-never land

'an imaginary heaven?' is the definition.
(from Peter Pan)

'do not do not come down to earth' is the wordplay.
'do not' becomes 'never' ('never do it' means 'do not do it').
'do not' becomes 'never' ('never do it' means 'do not do it').
'come down to earth' becomes 'land' (land after a flight).
'never'+'never'+'land'='NEVER-NEVER LAND'

(Another definition for never-never land that I've seen is " Imaginary country (Peter Pan)".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
