i never watched the original but i remember finding out the significance of her in school reunion and loved her!

That was one of my favorite episodes. Her and Rose comparing monster encounters was funny.

And Mickey realizing he is the tin dog.

He really didn't like being thought of as the tin dog....poor Mickey.

Edit: He did save the world once though with a big yellow truck.

SJS was one of my favorite Who companions. I enjoyed seeing her brought back with Tennant for "School Reunion".

You can read the article from Gizmodo here

Danger, Mistress.

I found this from the episode "The Five Doctors". K9 warned Sarah, "danger mistress", and she looked around and determined there was nothing there.....right before she was pulled away.

I was 2 days into a holiday when I heard of her death, ruined the whole week. One of the hardest hitting losses for me

One of my old laptops had her and K9 as the wallpaper, it is always emotional when I have to boot it up.

She will be missed.
