Two fans of Doctor Who, one marathon viewing of every episode of the series from 1963 to the present.

Elisabeth Sladen, 1948-2011

It was devastating to learn of Elisabeth Sladen's passing today.

As Sarah Jane Smith, she was the first companion that many young Doctor Who viewers ever knew, and a new generation of viewers got to meet her on The Sarah Jane Adventures.



Sarah -
I always think of Sarah Jane Smith leaving the TARDIS, asking the Doctor not to forget her. Oh, Sarah, as if anyone could.



Harry -
I remember Sarah Jane chasing after the Doctor in "The Hand of Fear", telling him: "I worry about you." He never had a stronger friend than Sarah.



I imagine Harry is greeting Sarah with a "Hello, Old Girl," somewhere right about now...
