Doctor Who will pay tribute to Elisabeth Sladen when the show returns for a new series this Saturday.
The actress, loved for her portrayal of investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith, passed away yesterday morning after battling cancer.
Asked if a tribute to Sladen will be featured on the upcoming episode, a spokesperson for Doctor Who told Digital Spy that the show's production team are "planning something suitable".
However, further information on what that might include is not yet available.

I didn't even know she was ill. Rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it either, was really surprised to hear that. It's really sad not only because I was hoping to see her in DW again somehow after the SJA finale :(
ReplyDeleteLis Sladen will be missed as an actress and as a Human Being..I Love and Miss YOU Ms. Sladen!!!!
ReplyDeleteSad news. I didn't realize that she had passed away when I noticed her name on my screen today. In the too few episodes I have seen of her on DW, I really liked her character.
ReplyDeleteLike Aydrian, I didn't know that she was sick. Omgosh.. Much love, respect and strength to her family and friends. Thank you for all your work Sarah, we will greatly miss your grace and talent.

BBC America is also planning to air an acknowledgement of Elisabeth Sladen during the season premiere Saturday night, but the report I saw (http://www.tvline.com/2011/04/doctor-who-elisabeth-sladen-dead-at-63/#more-209078) does not indicate whether it's the same thing the BBC will be airing during the UK broadcast or not.
