And Lis Sladen is dead. Which I meant to address yesterday but kept avoiding or forgetting. I kind of blame it on the news breaking over Twitter. I think it's a shame that this is how we found out about it, and I kind of hope the people who actually broke it had permission, because otherwise that's a bit classless.

Um, but the point is, Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith on Classic Who, New Who, and in the Sarah Jane Adventures, passed away yesterday. She was awesome, and she played Sarah Jane as a badass and like a boss, and by all accounts she was a good person.

I spent a lot of today in work reading tributes and scaring the boys by going all woe-faced but being unable to give a rational explanation any better than 'You know when John Peel died? WORSE.'
