Sarah Jane Smith. You don't need to say anything else. She's a legendary character played by a legendary actress, Elizabeth Sladen. This episode finally connected the nuWho with classic Who is a beautiful way and returned to the screen a beautiful woman. Considered pretty much the best companion of the classic series and possible all of Doctor Who, Sarah Jane owns this story. Her reunion with the Doctor is heart breaking and elating at the same time. Her banter with Rose is classic and her fostering of Mickey is lovely. And we can't forget about the return of K-9!
Of course this story relaunched Elizabeth's career as Sarah Jane, spinning her off into her own series of adventures with young companions, aliens threats, a new K-9, an adopted son and an adopted daughter. She was even reunited with the Brigadier, Jo Grant, the 10th Doctor and the 11th Doctor. It was the most amazing time and reminded us of how much we loved Sarah Jane and Elizabeth. When Elizabeth died of cancer, our hearts broke. We would see no more of her beautiful face on our screens, giving us the best of times, but we learned to cherish every second of screen time we had been blessed with for over 40 years. We will always love you Sarah Jane and Elizabeth!
