  • I miss her. What an amazing person.

  • i'm 15 and i wasn't aware of who Elizabeth Sladen was until she had passed, but i am the biggest fan of her now, and i feel immense guilt that i didn't discover this amazing lady sooner. R.I.P Lis, i can surely say that EVERYONE will miss you terribly. and we all love you.

  • She kept her illness so hush-hush (as was her right, to be honest), I was blindsided when I opened the paper that morning and saw that she had passed, I let out this huge gasp, my mother wondered what was wrong, and when I told her even she knew who Elisabeth was, and she was never a Who fan. And this is a small paper in Louisiana, the fact that they actually wrote up a piece on it shows just how much of an impact she had.

  • R.I.P Lis <3<3<3

  • :'(

  • she will always be one of my favourite companions because she really was unique, and they're right, when i think of the doctor who companion, SHE is the one that comes into my head, she's so youthful but at the same time you can see all that experience that she's got, she saves the earth every day the only difference between her and the doctor, in my opinion, is that she's content to remain on earth. but she really will go on forever, all the fans she's got will make sure of it

  • que triste espero que su luz brille por siempre en el cielo

  • two people they didnt interview: billie piper and tom baker. im absolutely positive they wouldve had something to say if their schedules permitted

    <3 :'(

  • Im still crying

  • I bow my head down for Elisabeth Sladen, who would have been 66 today:(

  • Even as an American I grew up with Sarah Jane as Doctor Who was broadcast on PBS,She was and always will be Our Sarah Jane R.I.P.

  • R.I.P elizabeth sladen. We will all greatly miss you.

  • 0 dislikes.....We all love you Lis <3 <3

  • RIP Elisabeth Sladen.

    Damn, I cried throughout the entire video TT_____TT

  • sigh! she is no more and I was over it... but now I miss her again... good old Sarah Jane Smith!

  • RIP. I only started watching doctor who when Billie Piper was with Chris and seeing this made me see how much of an impact on the doctor who universe she was. It's more sad that she was only 63 years old.

  • I write with tears in my eyes as well...I love you so much...my Sarah Jane. Never will there be such a companion as you were. I will miss you and think of you often. :(

  • I'm writing this with tears in my eyes.

    What a stunning tribute for such a beautiful talented actress.

    I've just bought her autobiography so I'm sure I'll cry at that as well

  • I just can't get her out of my head... still... :(

  • MY TARDIS....of course you can!

  • I want Sadie,her daughter,to be the next companion.

  • I met her three years ago -3 RIP Liz

  • 00:00 - 00:26 makes me cry xx <3

  • She was a brilliant actress! Such talent!! All the dr who fans are missing you liz!

  • Beautiful woman

  • RIP Elizabeth Sladen

  • Just one more. I'm sure many of you have seen: This Is Your Life Tom Baker 3. If you haven't, dial it up on Youtube and watch it, I won't say more and be a spoiler. Just watch it if you haven't.

  • what episode is it that she was with matt?

  • @katflek Tha Doctor's Death

    

  • Your fans miss you Lis!

  • i'll never forget her. rip. goodbye my sarah jane.

  • Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane was always the best companion, when she returned to the show I was thrilled, and it was so well done. Thank heavens Russell knew instinctively what was important. But I always knew it was very much because of the actress, her skill, her warmth, her character. God bless her now.

  • Also, I recommend viewing on You Tube: 2011 BAFTA Actor and Actress Deaths of this Year-includes Elisabeth Sladen. And many of you younger fans might enjoy seeing the DW episode The Five Doctors. In it, Sarah Jane is reunited with the 3rd Doctor and gets to meet the 5th doctor Peter Davison. It also ties in to the DW episode The End of Time.

  • Thank you Janet for posting this. At 56, I got to see all the DW episodes and agree with David and Katy that Lis was the ultimate Doctor Who girl. More than that, I think Anjli summed up how wonderful Lis was by fleshing out an endearing and enduring character in Sarah Jane Smith. In all the Sci-Fi world, the two best stories ever done on TV were Pyramid of Mars from DW and The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith from SJA. That Lis did both says a lot. May God cherish her in heaven.

  • I never saw the old doctor who, and first met Sarah Jane mhen she was in School Reunion, but as soon as she apeared, i knew she was fantastic. I have watched a couple of her old episodes on this, and have followed the SJA series since it started. She is, and always will be, the best companion ever.

    Liz Sladen was a fantastic actor and will never be forgotten. good bye sarah jane, good bye Elisabeth Sladen, we will never forget you.

    R.I.P Liz Sladen

  • i have never cried so hard in 15 years

  • Elisabeth Sladen is brilliant. I wasn't born in time to see the old Doctor Who, but I still felt massively connected to her, because she was the proof that companions never gave up on the adventure. I met her properly in the episode with Rose, and it gave me some confidence that Rose wouldn't just go back to her mum and forget about him.

    RIP Elisabeth, Sarah Jane, the best companion by far.

  • I was shocked when i heared, elisebeth sladen is.. a wonderful person, even though i never had the pleasure of meeting her she will be sorely missed by all whovians

    Goodbye, our Sarah-jane

  • I love u Sarah Jane, u will be sadly missed, R.I.P

  • Elisabeth sladen will never be forgotten and i hope she knows that.Although Elisabeth is sadly gone and she can't be with us any more, to all her fans of Sarah jane adevtures we will celebrate every Febuary !st and we will remember the most wonderful actress from 1948-2011 and PLEASE never forget Elisabeth sladen. Amen(i agree)

  • Everytime I watch this, it breaks my heart.

    Could not tell you how much I loved her. I was glad to have met her in 2010.

    6 months on, and it's still saddens me. R.I.P. Ms Sladen. You will never be forgotten. :(

    "Goodbye, my Sarah-Jane."

  • I... My God. I can't come up with anything. Elizabeth Sladen was a beautiful, amazing woman who played that Wonderful and amazing character. I was lucky enough to see her in a local pantomime. I... I first saw her back when I first fell in love with Doctor Who - Watching old episodes with my Dad, I've been a massive fan since. I never thought her as old. To me, she was timeless. She still is. Farewell, Our Sarah Jane, Time and Space has halted for you.

  • soooo sad

  • I wasn't Lucky enough to meet her in person. And I wasn't Around till LATTTTTE AFTER she was born or when she is in Doctor Who. So the only chance I got to see her in action was Sarah Jane Adventures Which Is a real Sham as I love her she is so inspirational. Its so sad how she died and I only thought she was 40 Max and finding out she was 65 was a great surprise

  • She is gone and we can do nothing but remember her and how brilliant she was

  • :'(

  • no one told me until a hour ago, the whole time i was like, "No, dad you're lying she isn't dead!" for a full 40 minutes, until he showed me the wiki post and i was devastated. I didn't even know she had cancer, i really need to start reading the newspaper. :(

  • Damn. Anytime I think of her passing, I still cry. She made such an impression on me. Doctor Who was my favorite show growing up. I named my daughter Sarah Elisabeth after her :) And she's 11 now and loves watching Doctor Who with Daddy. :)

  • The first line of this made me cry... RIP Elisabeth.

  • John. <3

  • Tom must be devestated !

    Well I heard he was a pain in the arse to work with but as far as I know they got on really well

  • @DWhoFan2011 Early in the commentary on "Planet of Evil" Tom, with great feeling, remarks to Lis, "I don't think I've ever been as truly happy as I was then, with you, Elisabeth". He also teases her affectionately about a scene where he is looking at her "absolutely adoringly" and then a bit later says he "fantasized about adopting her".

    It was only after Lis left that Tom got difficult to work with. He genuinely adored her, AND their DW time together.

    Tom is likely very devastated.

  • Rip Elizabeth Sladen

  • i am 12 & elizabeth sladen is my idol!!!!

    she is an amazing actress!!

    she will be sorley missed !!

    she may be gone but she will NEVER be forgotten!!!1

    RIP elizabeth sladen!!! x x x xx x x x!!!

  • @99jellybeangirl i know R.I.P Elisabeth Sladen

  • D':

  • I was home sick when i first heard the news. My dad told me, and i was devestated. She was my name sake, and my idol. I wanted to be just like her. She was wonderful and I know while she may be gone, her legacy will never die.

    We will miss you, OUR Sarah Jane.

  • Get a haircut Matt Smith!!! RIP Elisabeth Sladen

  • when sarah jane first left the tardis so abrutly i was left bereft for 30 years and then she came back and then again suddenly sarah jane is gone and im heart broken all over again

  • I think its great. People loved her back in the Pertwee-Baker years, and she made a come-back. She Amazed people of the Classic Series, and came back to do it again with the New Series, and she did brilliant. I love that when I look back to School Reunion 'Who's she?' and to Today, she is still the Greatest Companion Ever.

  • Matt...your hair...

  • RIP Elisabeth Sladen. You will never be forgotten.

  • i did that last line give anyone els goosebumps

    RIP liz

  • I've got an idea...let's give Sarah her own spinoff! and put K9 on it...what do we call it? Sarah Jane in Action? Sarah's Story? The Sarah Jane Adventures? Naaaa, let's call it K9 and Company! after all a triangular shaped cardboard box with a rc motor moving it will draw more viewers than Lis Sladen ever will! Oh by the way, let's cancel Doctor Who! Nobody wants to see it!

    Is the entire planet-wide TV industry composed of brain-damaged spastics???

  • I bawled like a baby when I saw this.

  • im gonna cry!!! :_(

  • it's hard to beleive that one minute we are here and the next we r not : ( elisabeth sladen, you will always be remembered

  • its amazing how much you can miss someone and the extreme heartache it can cause you i think we can all agree that she is an inspirational person and a breathe taking actress and she will always have a place in our hearts. we all love you Elisabeth :')

  • Still can't believe she's dead, I was devastated when I found out and thought that it was a mistake. But I think, had she told anyone about her illness, then people may not miss her that much as it was expected. Anyhow, we shouldn't dwell on her death, instead we should remember her for the brilliant actor and person she truly was

  • 00:06 to 00:27 very good words. i willl follow those words and think about her every day. RIP :(

  • No dislikes.

    That's what I like to see.

  • r.i.p elisebeth love you <3

  • Sarah Jane Smith was the best Doctor Who companion of them all. Really loved her performance on "The Time Warrior", her DW debut. I got goosebumps watching this tribute. Elisabeth Sladen is missed by millions.

  • R.I.P elizabeth sladen

  • This is when the BBC get things right, one of the most fitting tributes to one of best, most loved people ever!

    She'll never be forgotten ... Sarah Jane Smith

  • i grew up with her on tv and i loved watchin her and i cried when i watched this on tv for the first time :'(

    RIP

    R.I.P Elisabeth

  • Nearly 500 likes, 0 dislikes. Nuff said.

  • i miss eilsabeth sladen my hero miss u liz xx

  • Odd how someone you've never met, can impact your life so strongly. Liz was a timeless beauty and an effortless talent. Maybe one day i'll be able to see this video. I've blubbered all the way through three times now and still can't get a grip on my emotions. Goodbye...MY Sarah Jane.

  • I didn't start crying until the song at the end, but still... the feeling was there. Goodbye to Our Sarah Jane.

  • @TheStringsAreBroken You and me both.

  • OMG I can't believe Sarah Jane is gone that is so sad

  • Im Very Depressed Now

  • I was really shocked about this news she will never be forgotten for young and old people adults and teenagers. R.I.P Elisabeth Sladen or as known in the doctor who family Sarah Jane Smith

  • i cant belive shes dead i still think she's alive

    im devastaded she died too young

    loved her and still love her

  • We will never forget you Elisabeth. Your wonderful legacy will live on forever and we are grateful to have it. Thank you for so many memories. The ultimate Dr Who companion, and so much more. A great loss.God bless, my Sarah Jane Smith. X

  • Thanks for uploading. This is a very touching tribute to one so beautiful and talented.

  • The titles came up and -BAM, crying.

  • I am so sad...we will miss you Lis...R.I.P. :_(

  • i am in tears ;-(

    R.I.P

    My Sarah Jane

  • I doubt Elisabeth will EVER be forgotten. I think future DrWho episodes will have a little nod to her as tribute now and again. How can they not?

    Im about to go into 3rd year of a 3D Art and Animation course that does stuff like SFX on videos, CGI and other stuff along those lines. Doctor Who and others like it inspired me to do this. I will miss the opportunity to never work alongside a legend like Miss Sladen.

    Farewell Elisabeth Sladen...may you find peace in the TARDIS in the sky.

  • It's so sad (((

    She is amazing< 3

    RIP

  • I've always hated that song "She". Not any more.

    Thank you Janet for posting this. I wasn't allowed to watch this on CBBC's site and BBC America didn't show it after the premier.

    I had a crush on her the moment I first saw her in Ark in Space. A nice reminder of the air vent scene here. I went to my first weekend convention because she was going to be there in 1981. I believe it was also her first, at least her first in America. Sweet and charming and everything one would expect, genuine.

  • Thanks, BBC America should be ashamed on letting the Whovians on this side of the pond seeing this tribute. 

  • Fitting Tribute for Liz Sladen. Thanks for sharing

  • great tribute to a great lady

  • I can't hit like on this, because it made me cry so much. But it's a beautiful tribute

  • Comment removed

  • I never thought that the death of a TV personality would touch me so much. And what a terrific song to have as a tribute. She may be the face I won't forget. I'll never forget you Lis. Rest in Peace

  • crying soooo hard right now

  • :'( im crying rite now :'(

  • RIP - Elisabeth Sladen. Thanks for making the character of Sarah Jane so entertaining and bringing so much joy to millions of people. Goodbye our Sarah Jane.

  • Thanks for posting this - being outside the UK, I couldn't access it on the BBC website.

    Elisabeth Sladen will be greatly missed, there'll never be another Doctor Who companion like her.

  • Could not see this on tv but thankfull it s here.

    For someone i never actually met she made an impact as the doctors companion on me whe iwas a little girl, and i was happy to see her apear with David Tenant and in her own adventures.

    She will be missed. The music at the end was the same song at my mothers farewell.tears

  • RIP Elisabeth Sladen - in the hearts of generations of Who fans forever. Always our Sarah Jane.

  • Thanks for sharing. I will never forget you Elisabeth Sladen "My Sarah Jane" R.I.P

  • Not just David's generation and future generations, but generations in between.

    Only the good die young. But the good's life is so beautiful. Elisabeth Sladen, you changed mine.

  • She will always be remembered and loved. Rest in awesome "My Sarah Jane"

  • RIP Elisabeth Sladen missed and loved by all

  • if anyone puts a single thumbs down, they have no souls! we'll miss you sarah jane!

  • Sarah Jane was MY Companion

  • that My Sarah Jane line made well up bad enough when i first watched but it's even worse now

    good by OUR Sarah Jane

    Gone but will never be forgotten

  • so unexpected and sad

    .i grew up watching elisabeth sladen in dr who in the 70s - for me the best era of the series still.

    and only six months ago i got to meet her at a film/tv convention.she was inundated by eager fans wanting her autograph,most of whom knew her only from the sarah jane adventures and were not even born when she first appeared in dr who.

    and it occurs to me now,that maybe she knew then even while meeting the fans just a few months ago how ill she was,but still attended.

  • @suttonguy what did she have

  • This left me weeping! And it really does represent some of the love that we all shared for her. Fans united in one common cause to remember his remarkable woman!

  • Thanks SO much for posting this. We're in the States, so BBC America did not include this when they broadcast Dr. Who last night.

  • Thanks SO much for posting this.  We're in the States, so BBC America did not include this when they broadcast Dr. Who last night.

  • Liz was fantastic! Sara Jane was my introduction to Doctor WHo. I will miss you Ms Sladen. Rest in Peace. Thank you for yoru great spirit.

  • A lovely tribute for a wonderful woman. She will and is greatly missed by all. Thank you Lis, for me, being the best companion there ever was. :o)

  • A very touching tribute to Liz Sladen. A shame that Tom Baker or John Leeson (VA of K-9) didn't say anything. Would have been nice to have seen both of em.

  • @RaphGirl Is Tom Baker still alive? He must be ancient.

  • @HPislegend248 Yep he is. In fact here's what he had to say about her passing: "Sarah Jane dead? No, impossible! Impossible. Only last week I agreed to do six new audio adventures with her for Big Finish Productions," he wrote. "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..."

  • @RaphGirl He sounds a bit demented, if you don't mind me saying so.

  • @HPislegend248 Tom Baker is 77.

  • @mccpcorn Really? I thought he would be 90 something by now. When was he Doctor?

  • @HPislegend248

    According to Wiki he is, born in 1934.

  • @HPislegend248

    Tom Baker is still alive. Nick Courtney (Brigadier) passed in February this year, Ian Marter (Harry) passed away in the 80s and now Lis Sladen. Tom is the only one remaining from his FIRST season as the Doctor besides John Levene (Sgt.Benton). 

  • @PinkPunkGirl80 I have no idea who half of those people are. Still sad though. Will really miss Liz though. Still can't quite believe she's dead.

  • Tom Baker will NEVER be ancient. He could turn a hundred tomorrow and he'd still be ageless.

  • @Lee86Cr OK regeneration is a gift unto those who play the Doctor. Its a fictional concept. I think you're a little too into Who.

  • :D

    I didn't mean that in a metaphorical sense of course...

    Just meant the man is still very much alive in reply to 'RaphGirl''s comment... He's still just as batshit crazy as he's always been and I find that incredibly comforting for some reason... especially now.

  • @Lee86Cr Oh OK. I wasn't alive when Who was on then but I'll take your word for it.

  • thank you for the forever Sarah Jane-Lis Sladen RIP

  • RIP Elizabeth, may you have many more adventures with the Doctor up in heaven.

  • Thanks for this video. I just heard the new and am devastated. So soon after the passing of Nicholas Courtney...

  • From a long time Doctor Who fan in the U.S., thanks for posting the tribute.

    We did not have an opportunity to see this tribute after last night's Doctor Who ep.

    I was surprised how sad the news of her death made me when I heard of it last week... and even more surprised how sad my children were.

    Thanks again for sharing!

  • Goodnight, Elisabeth, I'll never forget you XXX

  • Goodnight, Elisabeth, I'll never forget you XXX

  • I LOVE HER SO MUCH :'(

  • It is a shame that this was not broadcasted on BBCAmerica. Found the link on Facebook.

  • great tribute to a beautiful woman..hope the bbc show the final sarah jane episodes she filmed.

  • Lovely. Such a loss. I think the fact that so many many people went through the exact same emotions this last week speaks volumes about what an amazing woman Lis was. Disbelief, shock, tears, anger and yes, finally some sort of acceptance. But never forgotten. Never ever. We love you Lis and wherever you are, I hope everyone there is as overjoyed to have you as the world was saddened to lose you.

    Don't worry guys - we'll all see her at a Doctor Who convention in the next life.

    Goodbye, Lis X

    

  • So hard not to cry!

    Rest in Peace, Elisabeth Sladen! Have lots of adventures in the afterlife with Pertwee and Courtney!!

  • She really is legendary!

    Rest in Piece Elizabeth Sladen.

    Her memory will live on forever!

    -Georgia xxxxxxx

  • RIP Elisabeth... Sarah Jane was always my favorite companion for the Dr. The world is a little less bright now.

  • Thanks for posting this up, I originally mist it when it went out on CBBC, yesterday.

    Sarah Jane, the ‘quintessential Doctor Who companion’, that’s about right.

    R.I.P. Elisabeth Sladen, you will be missed by generations both old and new.

  • its terrible news and all. very sad. but what about the brigadier?! why didnt bbc mention him in ANYTHING!!>??

  • @JoeAndTeddy

    I know... It's not right. But then again I can see why this news is a 'bigger deal'. You've seen the reactions... millions of people all over the world were deeply saddened by this because she spanned the decades and generations... The Brig will always be a gem of the Classic series but most fans of the new series haven't the foggiest idea of who he is. Lis was an icon to people in their 40s as well as 6 year olds.

  • Sarah Must live and only the doctor hi,self her self know's jsut where and how she will continue on even in all of doctor who fandom she will live in our hearts forever yes she sure does and will do that as long as there are nay of us ot carry The doctor on and so! it must be!

  • Elisabeth Sladen is dead, but Sarah Jane Smith will live on in our hearts forever.

  • I still just cannot accept this as true. :(

  • aw the clip with david saying "my sarah jane" at the end really got me:( im in tears now as a write this. RIP Lis Sladen you will truly be missed.

  • my heart is arching

    wish you all best in the other world....

    Elisabeth

  • I had tears in my eyes this entire video,and by the end...do I even need to say it? I've never watched Sarah-Jane with Jon Pertwee,I only knew her from the episodes with Tennant,and also a few Tom Baker episodes,but I loved her character so much,she somehow connected with me,and I guess every last person watching.She will definitely be missed. RIP Elisabeth Sladen,our lovely Sarah-Jane.

  • My brother watched Doctor Who with Sarah Jane Smith when I was little , so of course,I did too. Unfortunately I was too little to remember them. When she came on in series 2 I knew who Elisabeth Sladen was and her history with the Doctor but I didn't realize just how much I would grow to love her. I had to watch the Sarah Jane Adventures so I could follow the character. My prayers go out to her family and friends, she will be missed.

  • I'm gonna miss Elisabeth Sladen so much. Farewell, our beloved Sarah Jane. x

  • Quite glad to see this were we could watch it here in the US; it's a shame it didn't air on BBCA following The Impossible Astronaut.

  • Tom Baker and Lis Sladen, my Doctor and my companion, when I discovered the show when I was a kid. This new has made me feel very sad. I won't forget you Sarah Jane.

  • I'm not gonna lie... I definitely burst into tears at the end.

  • A very touching and fitting tribute!

    Thank you to BBC for not pulling this video , so that we yanks could watch.

  • When David Tennant said, "MY Sarah Jane." I think we all felt the exact same way. That's what Elisabeth Sladen brought to us all & why we'll always cherish the companion we knew & the woman who played her.

  • Doctor Who should do this ginormous tribute. Like an epic episode with like everyone who worked with her on Doctor Who, she derserves so much more. I would have been honoured to meet her and I'm sure I would have loved her straight away
