Doctor Who fans were in mourning last spring when it was announced that Elisabeth Sladen, who played the beloved Sarah Jane Smith, had passed away after a long battle with cancer. The trailer for the final season of The Sarah Jane Adventures was just released.
To the credit of the BBC, they decided that The Sarah Jane Adventures without Elisabeth Sladen playing the title character would not be The Sarah Jane Adventures. They are therefore only going to air the episodes that were completed prior to Sladen’s death, and they have no plans for a future series featuring a replacement actress.
Most American Doctor Who fans may only be familiar with the character of Sarah Jane Smith from her appearances on the show in the David Tennant years. Her spinoff series, The Sarah Jane Adventures, were only relatively recently released on DVD in the US, so American fans may not have had as much of a chance as those in the UK to see the series. The series is definitely aimed at a younger audience, but is well worth watching.
