My previous exposure to the TV version of Doctor Who had been some near-midnight screenings of episodes where Katy Manning played the companion. Jo Grant was cute, but ...
When my local public television station started screening The Doctor's adventures again, Sladen had joined the cast. Her Sarah Jane was different. Maybe it was the fact that she was the first actively feminist companion, but I definitely appreciated the fact that she had a nice blend of intelligence and likeability.

Goodbye, Ms. Sladen. You will not be forgotten by this veteran Whovian.]]> Goodbye, Sarah Jane http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9775&Focus=291197#Comment_291197 2011-04-19T16:22:35-07:00 2013-05-21T03:33:44-07:00 Rachæl Tyrell http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=552 oh. ohmg.

I had such a crush on her when I was a young'un.

And yet Dick Cheney continues to stalk among us shootin' people in the face. There is no justice.

. . . made me smile for the first time today.

*SIGH*

I have three or four episodes of the Sarah Jane Adventures left unwatched on my DVR. I'm going to save them for special occasions.]]> Goodbye, Sarah Jane http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9775&Focus=291201#Comment_291201 2011-04-19T16:54:02-07:00 2013-05-21T03:33:44-07:00 MrMonk http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=6192 I met her at a Con in 1994 (maybe 1993).

Sarah Jane dead? No, impossible! Impossible. Only last week I agreed to do six new audio adventures with her for Big Finish Productions.

She can't be dead. But she is: she died yesterday morning. Cancer. I had no idea she was ill; she was so private, never wanted any fuss, and now, gone. A terrible blow to her friends and a shattering blow for all those fans of the programme whose lives were touched every Saturday evening by her lovely heroic character, Sarah-Jane Smith.

It's breaking my heart to know that they were going to preform audio dramas for Big Finish together. It'd have been so wonderful to hear them together again.]]> Goodbye, Sarah Jane http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9775&Focus=291309#Comment_291309 2011-04-20T14:42:39-07:00 2013-05-21T03:33:44-07:00 Foamhead http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=8779 ]]> Goodbye, Sarah Jane http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9775&Focus=291344#Comment_291344 2011-04-21T01:11:03-07:00 2013-05-21T03:33:44-07:00 Lazarus99 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=3143 ^Ya know what?
