RIP: Sarah Jane, Doctor Who's Companion

[thewayne]

Elisabeth Sladon passed away, she'd been battling cancer. She started with Doctor #3, John Pertwee, then continued with Tom Baker and got a spin-off show with K-9. She was definitely one of the more fun and interesting companions.

Apparently she did more than one spinoff: Sarah Jane Adventures (2010), not to be confused with Sarah Conner Chronicles, SJA: Alien Files (2010), and K-9 & Company: A Girl's Best Friend (1981). Adventures and K-9 are available on Amazon, it would seem that SJA is not yet available.

I haven't seen any of them except for the extended Dr. Who episode she did which was sort of a crossover with Sarah Jane Adventures. If you pick up any of them, I'd love to borrow them from you some time, and I'll extend the same offer if I manage to snag any of 'em any time soon.
