Ack! My favorite Dr. Who actress. That's awful.
I'm glad she was the co-star who was brought back for the new series, and that it led to success and a chance for a new generation of watchers to enjoy her work.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Crap! First the Brigadier, now Sarah Jane.
Elizabeth Sladen was, by all accounts a wonderful person to know as well.

Dork Tower just gave me allergies. K-9 shouldn't be able to do that to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
K-9 shouldn't be able to do that to me.
Heh. Yeah, I got some allergies during School Reunion when it seemed K-9 was going to sacrifice his life to save the others. Damn tin dog....
I mean, I thought K-9 was kinda' lame in the classic Who episodes. Maybe the ticker-tape printer in his mouth was cool back in 1970 or whenever, but not for long....
