RIP

Liz Sladen, known to many of us as Sarah Jane Smith from Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures, has died of cancer. The news has been confirmed by Nicola Bryant, who played Peri (companion to The Fifth Doctor), and Paul Cornell, who wrote several episodes of New Who, as well as the 2003 mini-series.

Liz was 63.

A very sad day for her family, her friends, and for fandom.

ETA: How very, very bittersweet that the last episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures that will ever air were titled "Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith: Parts 1 and 2."

Goodbye
