I look at an actress like Elisabeth, and look at how wonderful Sarah Jane is, and it makes me think "I'm sorry, Billie who? And who's this Karen person?"
I first learned about the character Sarah Jane in School Reunion. I instantly fell in love with her character!! I live in America so I never heard of the Sarah Jane Adventures till a year ago when I watched it on Syfy. (They barely show it)
I began watching the episodes on youtube during the summer and sadly that is when I discovered she was dead. It amazes me when I think how I only saw her in one episode of doctor who 5 years ago, and how fast I fell in love with her and her personality. RIP
there's one person who should have come back in the sarah jane adventures before Lis passed away: MARIA JACKSON! the fact she never came back really upset me :(
i didn't even know she had cancer until i was flicking through the channel's and i saw the tribute, i was thinking ? so i clicked on it and it turned out she had died!!!! :'( R.I.P Elizabeth Sladen xxx
In the Doctor Who Magazine, out thursday. I think and hope the people who didn't get to be filmed for this tribute will have left there thoughts about Lis in the magazine.
woah. I just watched the final episode.... Oh, i cant believe that that was the last one. The last ever episode. I cried the day she died, she was great.. RIP Lis.
just watched this again in preparation for her final two episodes, it's hard to believe that it's the last new piece of footage we'll ever see of her.
I have grown up with sarah jane smith and Liz Sladen and seen how amazing she is when i was going to interview her for my school. The sad thing was i went to england and they told me i couldn't meet with my hero becuase she had died. I was so hearbroken :( R.I.P my Sarah Jane ~ with love from your pen pal sarah
Sarah Jane Smith. Our Sarah Jane. Everyone's Sarah Jane. The best, and most loved Doctor Who companion of all time. THE Doctor Who girl. Oh, we love you, Lis. Even now, I still cry just thinking about you. SO many people, all across the world, will miss you. I'm so sorry, Lis. We love and miss you. And we'll NEVER ever forget you.
4 months and it is still sad to have lost such a wonderful actress. I hope her family is enduring as best they can and hope they know how much fans adored Elizabeth 'Liz' though most of us never met her. Very magical personality on screen. Will be missed :(
I live in Canada and I visited her grave site the day seen her death on youtube, when I got to the uk and found out where she was I cryed, To me she is the best and I will miss her.
sarah where ever you are i hope you are resting in peace hope you meet the orignal first doctor , the second again and you will be reunited with the 3rd doctor & harry shaw hope you find your heaven wich i can imagine is the tardis and your adventures will go on forever.
I was a very young girl when I watched Elisabeth Sladen in Dr Who, and now I'm glad I decided to watch Dr. Who again when we got to re-meet Sarah Jane Smith again both in school reunion and in the brilliant Sarah Jane Adventures. For not having seen her on screen would be a total tragedy. For me she is the number 1 assistant with Rose Tyler number 2 (K9 is always with Sarah Jane so he's number 1 too). David Tennant is my favourite Doctor so seeing them together with Rose was a dream come true.
@ShadowTreasurer I agree, it's a shame that more people weren't able to pay their respects but I think it was all done on short notice.
I would love that they did a proper tribute later in the year when before they show what has already been filmed of SJA S5. An hour long, and with Baker et al included would be wonderful :)
@Sandi631 I think they should make a DVD box-set tribiute for Elisabeth Sladen, with some classic stories, the wedding of sarah jane, death of the doctor, and an hour long tribiute with contributions from EVERYONE
@ShadowTreasurer and then there's the possibility that maybe they refused to appear because it was too soon for them.
I would have liked it if they paid their respects in this programme, but I can imagine that this news hit very hard and closer to home than anyone would have liked.
@ShadowTreasurer This special was aired very shortly after Lis died, in fact it was the Saturday immediately following. This programme was put together very quickly, and there probably just wasn't time and resources available to film everyone, many of whom were probably filming other projects. Tom Baker seems like the type of person who would prefer to mourn in private, as well.
to add- i had to switch the TV off when they played the Costello for Kate Middleton on the 29th... because this song will forever now be Lis Sladen's.
I still cant believe she's gone. Far too soon. So many people have been moved by Lis's passing. And like Katy Manning said, WHAT a LEGACY! I'm really going to miss her as are all her fans but of course the people that matter most right now are her family. I hope they find comfort knowing all around this planet, people are missing and celebrating the brilliance, the beauty of, the indefatigable SARAH JANE/ELISABETH SLADEN.
I cannot imagine Elisabeth Sladen not being involved with Doctor Who ever again. RIP "Sarah Jane". May the strength from absolute strangers who admired you from afar help your family, friends and colleagues know how you affected us all. Dawn from Canada
I had no idea until last night when I was watching the impossible astronaut, I thought/hoped it was a mistake until I saw she passed away last week. And when I cried, I didnt only think of the loss to the whoniverse but ofthe loss to everyone and anyone who was either her fan,her friend and/or her family. Elisabeth Sladen will be greatly missed!! The best companion the doctor ever had!! R.I.P. Sarah Jane XXXXXXXXX
@MarkAJAgi I didnt think he ignored her death and that if you looked you wouldnt be able to find a video or note he wrote about her I just said that if it was in this video I would have been even more sad.. thank you for your help il be sure to check those out :)

@Saethchan I'm right there with you. Was doing fine, the music was a little melodramatic...and then that scene. Right then, my contacts started bothering me...
The Elvis Costello song at the end was perfect for this beautiful lady. Made this grown man weep like a little girl. Thank you Lis. Condolences to your family and the rest of us you who became your virtual family all these years. You were and always will be "She."
That was fantastic, thanks for uploading this. I think this is the first "celebrity" death I've ever heard about that floored me when I heard/read it.
it was really stunning, wasn't it? she was the picture of health. she's always looked years younger than she actually was. and since we never even heard she was ill, it just came out of nowhere.
seriously, when i first read it, my first thought was "okay, that's NOT funny". it just didn't seem possible.
Goodbye, my Sarah Jane :(
