She is one of the best remembered companions from the earlier series and reappeared in the newer version as well. She had the longest run of any companion and starred with more Doctors than anyone else. She also had two spin-offs, one unsuccessful and one very successful, from Doctor Who.

My thoughts go out to her family and may she always be remembered as the best companion a Doctor could ever have.

It's a sad day for anyone who grew up with Doctor Who from the Tom Baker era onwards.

School Reunion was one of the best new!Who episodes because of Elisabeth Sladen's reprisal of Sarah Jane Smith and the look at what happens to a Companion when they've been through time and space...and now is back on Earth again.

RIP. Elisabeth Sladen. A finer lady and actress would be hard to find

It isn't "goodbye", it is "so long for now."

First the Brigadier in February, and now Sarah Jane. Damn, I feel old.

So far, I think this is my favorite tribute to her:

Again, I concur. Also, with the dog. K-9, it's silly, but I catch myself worrying from time to time what he must be going through.

World still upside-down, and I'm at a loss for words. Whoever said let it never be said that words fail me, but rather that I fail them. I feel this way now, and still I lack anything original to say.
