clocketpatch: A small, innocent-looking red alarm clock, stuck forever at 10 to 7. (Sarah Jane and the Brig)

You will be missed

After a great evening out I came home and went to check the DbyA for new posts/spam/unwhited spoilers. People had left messages in the C-box. I sort of skimmed them but my eyes caught out the words "will miss the SJA" and all I could think was: "Damn! It's been cancelled? But I loved that show! I love Clyde/Rani and Sarah-Jane and K-9/Mr. Smith"

If only.

It's not really sticking yet. Reading various posts, I think it's a big shock to everyone in fandom. No one knew she was sick. She always looked so young. All I can think now is that 63 is my mum's age, which I generally forget because she looks so young too. My sympathies and prayers are going out to Lis Sladen's friends and family tonight.

Good bye Sarah-Jane, we won't forget you.

I'm sure her family would appreciate the kind words; everyone should know (if they don't already) how many lives she's touched.

As for Sarah Jane, the character ... the petulant part of me is screaming at everyone, "shut up, shut up, she's still saving the world!"
