Just heard on a tweet from Stephen Fry that Elisabeth Sladen passed away last night. Feeling vaguely tearful about it and I thought I might commit a few words.
Ok, so I'm a pretty big Doctor Who fan. I don't actually remember her as Sarah Jane Smith in the original span of episodes but I certainly saw them as I grew up in repeats and things like that. Elisabeth's reprisal of the role in School Reunion was one of the highlights of the series for me and I ended up watching along to The Sarah Jane Adventures too because of it (and secretly enjoying every moment as I watched, headphones on at 3am).
For a woman who battled Daleks, fought Cybermen and even faced the Loch Ness Monster beside The Doctor it seems unfair somehow to have fallen in her fight against Cancer. My sincerest condolences go out to her friends and family.
