Sarah Jane Smith – The Story Goes on – Forever
Sarah Jane Smith
Following the tragic death of Elisabeth Sladen earlier this year, the very last Television episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures has aired – but The Story Goes On – Forever.
Farewell The Sarah Jane Adventures
Filmed in 2010 along side series 4, The man who never was marks the untimely end of a wonderful and highly popular series – the World of Doctor Who will never be quite the same again.
In 2006 Elisabeth Sladen returned to Doctor Who as Sarah Jane Smith in School Reunion alongside the 10th Doctor (David Tennant). Later that year filming began for Invasion of the Bane, a special hour long opening episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures which originally aired January 1st 2007.
The Sarah Jane Adventures quickly became one of the most popular shows on CBBC picking up record audiences. In 2009 a special episode, From Raxacoricofallapatorius with Love aired as part of Comic Relief on BBC One.
The show has remained closely linked to Doctor Who. Sarah Jane and her adopted son Luke have turned up in Doctor Who a few times, the most recent being the 10th Doctors final story The End of Time. The Doctor has also shown up in The Sarah Jane Adventures, most recently the 11th Doctor (Matt Smith) in Death of the Doctor.
My Sarah Jane: A Tribute to Elisabeth Sladen
On the 19th April 2011 Elisabeth Sladen sadly passed away from cancer. My Sarah Jane: A Tribute to Elisabeth Sladen aired on CBBC directly after The Impossible Astronaut.

October 24th, 2011 - 7:26pmBut surely Lis has been Sarah Jane all her life on screen. It would be very disrespectful to just replace her.
Fribble! Just Fribble.
October 24th, 2011 - 5:44pmWhat a good idea¬!

October 24th, 2011 - 4:47pmi know liz has sadly passed but surely that shouldn’t end SJA ,u could get one of the kids to takeover and maybe a good actress that looks like liz,just on my lil bro’s behalf he love clyde,rani,luke and sarah.

October 24th, 2011 - 2:53pmI really liked the ending, was part of the voice over from the very first episode? Wonder when she recorded the family bit…
I really loved Sky as a character and am sad we wont see her progress as a character.
– I hope the gang appear in the next series of Doctor Who (But will be hard to get Sky in it without Sarah Jane).

October 19th, 2011 - 2:59pmi watched the latest and final episodes of such a great series, as usual Elizabeth Sladen was on top form. As for the characters i have no doubt we will have books written (if they haven’t already started!) for many years to come… and rightly so!
Elizabeth Sladen Thankyou for a job well done 🙂

You are so Amazing Actor’s and Actress and Lis as always You are fantastic to watch and of coruse Lis, to I have to say Sarah Jane Andventres is my Favouite Show on TV it is better than Doctor Who now that Matt Smith is in it. I use to like Doctor who i use to watched it When Lis started in it. I am so sad about Lis I will really miss her so much. My regards to Lis’s family.

October 18th, 2011 - 10:00pmIt was a right good romp to end the series and the show itself but as we now know the story continues and always will.
