Like so many others, she was my first Companion, alongside Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor. Sarah Jane exemplified all the things I wanted to be when I grew up--smart, brave, funny, loyal, clever, and...well, pretty. Now that I'm in my 40s and "Sarah" is in her...over 40s...she still exemplifies what I want to be when I grow up. Complex, accomplished, active, involved, brave, funny, intelligent, empowered, and...well, pretty... So I'm shallow. Shoot me. Lis Sladen is so wonderful!

The ones they aired back then were Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen. I remember the monsters would scare me and then I couldn't sleep afterward, but I kept coming back every weekend because I loved you Elisabeth, and Tom. Now I'm 32 and a die-hard fan of the new Doctor Who. I was soooo happy to see you do the reunion episode, and then when I saw you were getting your spin-off show. Thanks for coming back to Doctor Who!

More than nice: brilliant! Well done! I have been a fan of the series since it aired on PBS in 1979. The first episodes I remember watching were "The Seeds of Doom", and "The Android Invasion", both Fourth Doctor adventures with Sarah Jane Smith. So just as much as Tom Baker is "My Doctor", so Sarah Jane Smith is "My Companion". She's always been my favorite! I hope I get to meet her someday, at a conventon or something. I promise I won't ask her to say "Eldrad must live!" I have that episode on DVD, so that's sufficient. I just think she'd be an extremely interesting person to talk to. ^_^ Thanks for the memories!
