I'm in tears, Sarah-Jane was such a big part of my childhood TV experience. Thank you Elisabeth Sladen for bringing Sarah-Jane to life for us all, you were extraordinary and will always be loved by your millions of fans. ❤❤❤
Even 12 years after she passed away, I have so many fond memories of her with Tom Baker, Jon Pertwee, but the special way they brought her back to play alongside David Tennant, and Matt Smith, just added to her longevity as one of the finest actors to play in the Dr Who series. Credit totally deserved.
I couldn't form the words till now. By far the best companion. A sweetheart of stars traveling in the tardis flying towards infinity. She will be missed and always be loved by so many. Cheers
She’s my first, Doctor’s companion. I saw Sarah Jane and the Doctor first in 1973. Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Elisabeth Sladen were my introduction to the adventures. I enjoyed every episode then and now. Lis Sladen got me back then and forever. I miss her.
Arguably the greatest of all the Doctor's companions! And even though she passed away in 2011, she is still terribly missed. Rest in peace Elisabeth- you're definitely among the stars now!
I was 38 when Lis died. I wept like a baby when I heard the news. I have never been more devastated by the news of a celebrity death. She meant everything to me in my life. During my childhood and my adulthood, Doctor Who was/is my favourite show and she was my favourite companion. She was my safe place. She seemed like such a kind and genuine person off-screen and I deeply regret having never met her. Here I am 9 years later and still weeping. The world will never recover from losing this incredible woman. My Sarah Jane Smith.
Yeah, We have the girl who walked earth. The impossible girl. The most important woman in the universe. And Bad Wolf. But Sarah Jane Smith, oh she was a beautiful one. She wasent just important. Or beautiful Or amazing. She was meaningful. She gave Doctor Who a whole new purpose. Goodbye my Sarah Jane. Goodbye my best friend. We love you Elizabeth. Elizabeth Sladen, you will be missed. And yeah, I know she died 6 years ago. But it still hurts like she died today.
I really disliked the Sarah Jane Spinn-off. A 15 or so Girl was constantly shown exposing so much of her chest. It was really made a point. Can't accept something like this in every episode, so i quit.
Sarah Jane helped me get through my childhood when my parents broke me up I was broken 9 year old me was never the same , watching the programme made me feel magical like I could be happy again thanks x
Elisabeth Sladen was a great actor and played the part of Sarah Jane to perfection, - as a fan of the series and of Elizabeth's I was saddened by her passing away so early in life R.I.P. Elizabeth Sladen (aka Sara Jane Smith)
I remember watching this on cbbc when it first aired and crying so hard. It's impossible to imagine now how long she's been gone. Strangely it still feels like she's alive and always will be.
This is the first time I have seen it since it first aired. And yes, it had absolutely the same impact on me as it did at the time. Still very much missed.
Elisabeth Sladen will always be my model of not only a beautiful woman but an amazing human being. As a child I loved watching her and I was so happy to see her come back in the later years to be a part of Doctor Who again. Sarah Jane Smith is THE companion of ALL companions...she challenged the Doctor and made him better as a being...as a small child I loved her so much I named my dog and best friend after her...and even that Sarah was a beautiful soul like Sarah Jane. If I am lucky enough to have a daughter one day she will be called Sarah Jane in honour of Elisabeth and everything she taught me about being a strong human being. We miss her every day as Doctor Who fans but are blessed that we got to know her through Doctor Who and can still enjoy her performances today and forever. Thank you Liz!
I just started watching this tribute, and then i realised i'm here on the 10th anniversary of it's original upload date. I was 7 years old when i heard the news, and i genuinely cried for an hour, like a typical kid haha. Sarah Jane Smith was a massive part of my childhood, and i carried that on growing up. Over the past few years i have been on a journey to collect every single doctor who episode. I'm now on series 22 and along that journey i have had the pleasure of watching every single episode she ever appeared in, from facing sontarans and dinosaurs with Jon Pertwee (may he also rest in peace), to teaming up with the tenth doctor and helping defeat the dalek empire, and then to have her own show. Absolutely phenomenal. She is by far the greatest companion in doctor who history to me. And elizabeth sladen for this reason is by far my favourite actress of all time. 10 years on and i still cry every time i watch this. She was so magical, and youthful, and special to me and i'm sure so many other doctor who fans. I will never forget her, or her character. "Until we meet again, Sarah". RIP Elizabeth Sladen, 1948-2011.
I remember watching this so vividly at just 9 years old, never truly comprehending how big this loss was. Doctor Who, and maybe even more so, The Sarah Jane Adventures was such a formative part of my childhood and now being old enough to appreciate the classic series (and in my opinion, the perfect Season 12), Elisabeth Sladen's impact on Doctor Who is almost incomparable to anybody elses. Thank you for hours upon hours of entertainment Miss Smith - you truly were magical.
I have just finished watching all four and a bit seasons of the Sarah Jane Adventures and I had forgotten just how truly brilliant it was. With a couple of exceptions, there was not bad episode. This was not only due to the writing and the excellence of the regulars but mostly due to the complete brilliance of Elisabeth Sladen.
As a Matt Smith fan I'm very pleased Matt got to work with her, albeit briefly. Also for the fact that you knew this documentary would've probably interviewed the then current Doctor anyways and due to him having actually worked with her, it made sense for him to be in there.
@@homeschoolingrules1 It's a shame they never spoke to Tom Baker, then again, if you have seen that clip on RU-vid where he burst into tears talking about Lis, maybe he wouldn't be able to get much words out.
I remember a tweet from not that long ago in which Mina Anwar (Rani's mum) mentioned that Lis Sladen would've been pleased to know that there is now a female Doctor. And I thought it was nice that she got a mention again and that her fellow castmates haven't forgotten about her. (didn't think they would've forgotten her, obviously)
When I have kids, I am going to introduce them to Doctor Who and the Sarah Jane Adventures without a doubt. They are my favourite programmes of all time and they've always made me happy.
I just finished sees 4 of her adventures and this was listed as the first of the next season and ow Im blabbing my eyes out. Actually even from the previous 3 episodes to. I my not have grown up with these characters but over the last 3 years they are such big part of my life. such wonder and comfort.
god I have so many memories of SJA. I remember hearing the news she passed, my mum came in with the newspaper, and there it was, a double page spread dedicated to Liz. I still vividly remember seeing the trailer for The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, and shouting to my mum that The Doctor was making an appearance. That show, it was so wonderous, so magical and so incredibly heartfelt. I don't think I'll ever not cry at Liz's death. It was the first celebrity death that well and truly broke my heart. 21 years old now, and I still rewatch the show. I can't wait to show my future kids this show, so they can experience it too. An absolute legend, and a gift too so many generations. So grateful that they filmed a final episode last year. The story goes on, forever.
I'm an older Man , and modern people may not understand what it means to say a woman is a "good girl" ; they may take it wrong , thinking we mean it derogatory , but on the contrary , we actually mean it with the utmost respect and admiration : for us , to say a woman is a "good girl" is to say that she is everything any woman could , should or ever would be - and as , Tom Baker said , "you're a good girl , Sarah"
I literally miss her like she dies yesterday. Cried my self to sleep 3 times from Monday. I've never lost any immedient family so I'm really sure about mourning and that, but her death still impacts me.
21 years old, was only 11 when she passed. 10 years later, still heartbroken, and I still cry. Whilst we didn't know her as long, she was a huge part of our childhoods too . I vividly remember what I was doing when I was told that she had died, and watching each new episode as it aired. We do know the sadness, for many it will have been the first experience of loss like that, we loved her dearly. There isn't a competition in grief, Elisabeth, and Sarah Jane reached across so many generations, she was a treasure to us all.
Also, I'll count Martha because while she did say I love him and it was obvious that she loved him, she knew when to stop obsessing over someone and leave.
I really disliked the Sarah Jane Spinn-off. A 15 or so Girl was constantly shown exposing so much of her chest. It was really made a point. Can't accept something like this in every episode, so i quit.
Seriously 🙄🙄 have you seen 15 year olds compared to them Maria was very modest and I dont think it was indecent at all the actress was never uncomfortable so why does it matter to you?
