RIP Elisabeth Sladen

Wow, a "celebrity" death that I actually care about. Very sad to hear that Elisabeth Sladen has passed away at only 63, due to cancer.

I know this is primarily a Supernatural blog, but I'm also a Doctor Who fan - and I really loved Sarah Jane when we were reintroduced to her in the new series. I even watched the Sarah Jane Adventures when I was unemployed and depressed in Montreal back in 2007, because nothing quite cheers you up like a show targeted towards children (that still has epic bromance in it).

So, a song for Sarah Jane:

This is so sad! She was pretty much my first companion when I started watching the show. The Tom Baker years were airing on PBS, and I loved her. When she showed up in "School Reunion" I was so happy. She was great.

I agree. And shocking, because I didn't even know she was ill and she certainly looked young and healthy.
