My Sarah Jane: A Tribute to Elisabeth Sladen

My Sarah Jane: A Tribute to Elisabeth Sladen

Saturday 23 April
6:45pm – 7:00pm
CBBC

Airing immediately after Doctor Who on BBC1, here’s a celebration of the Time Lord’s greatest companion played by actor Elisabeth Sladen, who passed away this week. Contributors include David Tennant and Matt Smith. Producers Gillane Seaborne and Brian Minchin.

Elisabeth Sladen created one of Doctor Who’s best loved and most enduring characters, Sarah Jane Smith. For over 35 years she brought the feisty, compassionate journalist to life, creating a figure that was adored by audiences of all ages – truly a heroine whose appeal had no boundaries.

    It’s hard to belive that such a wonderful lady like Elizabeth Sladen has passed away. She touched our hearts and made us believe that maybe, just maybe there really is, life in other planets and galaxies.

    There can only be one ‘Sarah Jane Smith’ in this world and that’s Elizabeth Sladen. She will and forever been known as ‘Sarah Jane Smith’ no matter where. She will be sadly missed by one and by all, for those who have become a massive fan of her work.

    Thank you so much for allowing us to join you on what is a wonderful, fantasic journey and allowing us to share your highs and lows. May you rest in peace and that the power of Doctor Who & ‘Sarah Jane Smith’ live on for many years to come.

    Elizabeth can never be replaced. Everyone liked her, and she was a great actor. She cared so much about everyone she saw and didn’t see. She will be sorely missed.

    Yes I agree Booboo they don’t do it with a lot of stars it’s probably because they know how popular she is but it’s a shame it’s not 30mins but anythings better than nothing

    My BEST Companions are Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith) and Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) and I’m so sad that she’s gone.

    Michelle Ryan, Kylie Minogue and Linsey Duncan (Lady Christina De Souza, Astrid Peth and Adelaide Brooke) would have been good series companions.

    R.I.P.
    Rest In Peace

    To be honest it shows how much the BBC thought of her, to get a special tribute programme like this so soon is quite rare

  • JuddonMaster

    April 22nd, 2011 - 10:38pm

    Thanks I understand it is a rush but 15 mins is a bit short

  • JuddonMaster

    April 22nd, 2011 - 10:37pm

    I bet she’ll be there with Nick to welcome us with open arms

    This has been a great shock for us all and I believe that she is now watching down from Heaven and smiling her famous big grin. I look up at the stars now each night and say thank you Liz for everything. the really sad thing for me is I never got to meet Liz in person but one day when I pass away and reach heaven Liz is the first I will look for.

    R.I.P Liz xxxxx

    I only know of David Tennant and Matt Smith, obviously they are having to put it together quite quickly so there may be other contributors filming as we speak
