RIP Elisabeth Sladen

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Tuesday, April 19, 2011


The rumors had been swirling all afternoon, but the BBC has confirmed that Elisabeth Sladen has died at the age of 63. 

Sladen played Sarah Jane Smith, one of the most popular companions during the Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker years of Doctor Who. The BBC brought the character back in 2007 for a children's series. 

There's a saying that you bond with the first Doctor you see. I wonder if that's true for companions? If so, I bonded with Sarah Jane Smith. 

Here's a toast from my afternoon cuppa to you, Elisabeth Sladen. May you rest in peace.
