The BBC’s Tribute to Elisabeth Sladen
When Doctor Who premiered in America this past Saturday, it ran with a special “In loving memory of Elisabeth Sladen” message at the end. When Doctor Who premiered in the U.K. it ran with this 12-minute video tribute to the woman who played the Doctor’s arguably most beloved companion, Sarah Jane Smith. I’m not gonna lie, if you’re any kind of Who fan, you might want to grab some kleenex. Part 2 is after the jump. (Via Red Eye Chicago)
