Because of today’s sad news, it’s a very simple question this week:
What’s your fondest memory of Elisabeth Sladen?
It can be of her personally, of Sarah Jane Smith or one of the other characters she played. My favourites, oddly enough, are from the BBC’s adaption of Gulliver’s Travels, Gulliver in Lilliput, where she played a Lilliputian, from School Reunion when she meets with David Tennant’s Doctor outside the TARDIS for the first time, and from her first Doctor Who spin-off, K9 and Company, when she actually gets to kick in one of the baddies in a fight for the first time.
But how about you?

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
