In memory of Elizabeth Sladen
Doctor Who fans world wide are again in shock and grief as another legend from the series has passed away. Elizabeth Sladen first appeared as Sarah-Jane Smith the plucky journalist that stowed away on the TARDIS in 1973 opposite Jon Pertwee.
Sarah-Jane then stayed with The Doctor when he became Tom Baker and remained until 1976. Elizabeth later reprised her role in the spin off K9 & Company, The Five Doctors and when the series returned she was once again invited back to bring Sarah-Jane to a new generation, being rewarded with her own award winning spin off series The Sarah-Jane Adventures.
I met Elizabeth
I’m not sure if it wasn’t for the partnership of Tom Baker and Elizabeth Sladen I might not have got so hooked on Doctor Who.
Our thoughts go out to her family and close friends at this sad time.
I was shocked when i read this news earlier today. She was far too young to pass away. I too remember her in her first pairing with the Doctor but its her role in the spin off series The Sarah Jane Adventures that I best know her. My kids have the series on DVD and we have all seen every episode several times over!
ReplyDeleteIts been a sad year for Dr Who fans.
Had not known much about her until her death, very sorry to hear about it.
