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.

Not sure if this is Radio Free Monday material or not, but a couple of fangirls started a justgiving page in Lis Sladen's memory HERE (http://www.justgiving.com/inmemoryofelisabethsladen) They hoped to get a couple of hundred pounds, and it's already over 2000.

Absolutely RFM-worthy, thanks!

oh, thank you Sam. I wasn't involved in setting up the page, but I have been signal-boosting where I can, It'd be great to see in in the RFM. She was my first companion, in the Tom-Baker-on-PBS days.
