Sarah Jane

I've just read that another great British TV icon has died; Elizabeth Sladen, forever known to fans as Sarah Jane Smith in Doctor Who and also in her own (spin-off) the Sarah Jane Adventures.

Sladen originally appeared opposite (3rd Dr) Jon Pertwee and (4th Dr) Tom Baker. She then returned in a guest starring role in the relaunched series opposite David Tennant before starring in her own programme. Tennant later guested as the Doctor in the SJA before Matt Smith followed in 2010. A fifth series had been planned for broadcast by the BBC this Autumn.

Cause of death has yet to be confirmed although it has been said she had been battling against cancer. Read more about Elizabeth Sladen here.

You'll be missed, Sarah Jane but I know somewhere in the Universe you will keep on having adventures.
