Doctor Who News
Both the BBC and BBC America premiered the next season of Doctor Who tonight.
The episode was dedicated to actress Elisabeth Sladen, who portrayed Sarah Jane Smith, one of the Doctor's companions and the star of the recent spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures. Sladen passed away earlier this week from cancer. The Guardian online has her obituary and some nice tributes to the actress. Further details on Sladen can be found on Wikipedia.
