Sad Day for Doctor Who fans
« on: April 19, 2011, 10:56:49 PM »
Elisabeth Sladen, the actress who played Sarah Jane Smith, died today.  She was the first regular companion of the Doctor Who series that I remember, and had been starring in her own spin-off series, "The Sarah Jane Adventures".

They were still working on her series "Sarah Jane Adventures" at the time.  I think they had half a season finished.
