“He’s got two hearts - imagine them both breaking.”
That broke me
Alex Spiddleston same here:’)
Rani's speech did it for me. The fact she still held out hope its a perfect story of the heroic adventurer saving the universe, and the doctor she traveled with
@@cameronmonaghan6883 I've just seen Luke's bit and I'm now properly sobbing
@@cameronmonaghan6883 same thats when i stared full on crying 😭😟
Same
This was the most fitting ending for the quintessential Doctor Who companion. My first memory of Sarah Jane Smith was watching 'The Ark in Space'. My Mum & Dad bought it for me for Christmas, and it was the very first Doctor Who I ever watched. Immediately, I fell in love with the show and that was largely to down to her and her legendary dynamic with my personal favourite Doctor, Tom Baker. I had also watched The Sarah Jane Adventures religiously every autumn that it was broadcast on CBBC; quite possibly the best show on CBBC. Hearing about Elisabeth Sladen’s death really affected me when I first heard the news. A character that I really adored, a part of my childhood, was suddenly gone. Elisabeth Sladen had so much more to give as Sarah Jane, and if she was still around with us today, not only would The Sarah Jane Adventures still be continuing to this day, she would've most likely have been in the 50th Anniversary special and had a few good adventures with the Twelfth and Thirteenth Doctors. It’s heartbreaking that Sladen never got to continue that journey with Sarah Jane as she meant a lot to so many people. She’s the reason why many kids grew up to be fans of Doctor Who. It was such a great part of my childhood that I will forever cherish. She will never be forgotten and I genuinely hope more people and generations will discover Sarah Jane and grow to love her in the same way we did as children. #FarewellSarahJane
Great ending wish it was done in a doctor who episode unfortunately it wasn't to be but hopefully her legacy continues she was truely great actor
Beautiful words haha well said and yes I agree!
I agree her legacy will hopefully go on
"quintessential", so grown up
@@DJKin98 I think quintessential is exactly the right word, in conjunction with the word Companion to describe Sarah Jane Smith. And that's not a criticism of the other Companions. From both the Classic series & the new series some of them have been fantastic.
I broke when Tommy Knight had a picture of him and Elizabeth Sladden in the background.
Sarah Jane was probably the most iconic companion to this day, she was truly the most faithful companion to the timelord known as The Doctor she was well loved by the cast and crew and I loved meeting her once and I’m glad to of met her, somebody so caring and so wise rest in peace Elisabeth you are missed indeed.
Damn you met her? Must've been an experience. I once met Peter Davison and once met David Tennant but I was very young
She was not a companion. She was THE companion.
"Eldrad must live"
Along with k9 yes she is
Elisabeth with an S.
“The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it’s a world or a relationship, everything has its time. And everything ends.” - Our Sarah Jane Smith
Katie Adams I had that quote pinned to my border when I was at high school. She gave me so much in strength. She is my Sarah Jane. I love and miss her dearly. 😔
Man this is so true.
So nice that the cast got together to do this, it's like the finale we never had
I know right! Its like an elegy of Some sort
I'm glad they didn't throw every monster at us and gave us a sad finale instead, its even sadder
Yes
It could’ve been better if they’d actually filmed it with the characters talking together and in the correct settings.
@@natashabaillie4414 quarantine likely made things harder
I will never forget the day that Elizabeth Sladen died she will forever be our Sarah Jane
Sarah Jane never died, like Rani said, she’s out there travelling time and space with the doctor.
This is going to be my headcannon now and I'm never changing it
Curator was taking a return trip...
Yes forever timeless
Best part is it can be. Since we don't know which Doctor, the Doctor could've at any point went back to her, and it can be forever, since there's no end point for a specified Doctor. It could be the last Doctor for all we know.
@Santa's Got An Axe well as we know, he actually dropped her in aberdeen
It might seem silly, but I've never truly gotten over her loss. Even now, after all these years, my mind occasionally turns to Elizabeth Sladen and I remember and my heart breaks a little.
Goodbye............ our Sarah Jane.
You’re not alone there. I’m still devastated every time I watch her later stuff. Especially The Temptation of Sarah Jane. Gets me every time 🥺😢😭
I cried over Liz's passing and not my Grandmother's...really upset my Dad at the time. But it was true.
@@robertbrendan2931 you’re weird I feel bad for your dad
It's not silly at all : she shall always be Our , Sarah Jane
She’s honestly the one celebrity that I am saddened by the loss of, Sarah Jane adventures and doctor who was everything to me as a kid. It broke me when I first found out
"Don't forget me."
Oh, Elisabeth. No one's going to forget you ❤️
This song is ending but the story never ends
Elisabeth Sladen was taken much to soon she had so much life to live and lived what she was given until the very end
Farewell Elisabeth Sladen miss Sarah Jane Smith you are loved and missed a very talented actress and the most loyal companion to ever grace the TARDIS to a life well lived
R.I.P February 1 1946 - April 19 2011
Yeah 😭 it's so sad. I remember hearing the news on the TV back in 2011 i was so sad 😭 the Sarah Jane adventures was my childhood. Doctor who my all time favourite interest
@@SephoraBloons I'm a 56 year old - Sarah Jane was my childhood too. And it was so wonderful to see her return in the Sarah Jane Adventures - it was a great show, and a wonderful testament to the brilliant Elizabeth Sladen.
@@richardcoleman3425 yes it was. It's an amazing show. So beautifully done
Elisabeth Sladen is not really gone from us she's alive in All of us
is there an actual video to this or is it just a story told by this guy,
I’d like to believe there is a picture of Sarah Jane in the National gallery that the humble curator put up and that he passes by everyday and which makes him smile.
spoilers for the big finish story doctor who once and future: the artist at the end of time
but the sixth doctor was the curator much like how 4 was in the 50th anniversary but the curator was painting some of his paintings and i think he would have done that for sarah and most of his companions who hes lost over the years and i think even on some of the doctors bad days he would look in this room full of lost faces and remember everything magical that he had done with them and all their adventures
Possibly a painting as the 12th Doctor did paint Clara in the confession dial, so the Curator definitely did one of Sarah Jane.
Before David Tennant regenerated in 'The End of Time: Part 2' 10 years ago, Russell T. Davies had the opportunity to have his FINAL say on the show. To say what meant the most to him. And the last lines of dialogue of the Russell T. Davies era are;
"This song is ending, but the story never ends."
"I don't want to go"
The last line is heart-breaking, but the one before?...I don't think it was until this touching tribute that I TRULY understand what Russell meant by that.
Because the world of 'Doctor Who' is a massive, complex, insane family. A family that's always growing and its legacy is passed on all through our lives.
And even though Elisabeth Sladen may be gone, her legacy and her story NEVER ends.

My headcanon: Rani is right. The Doctor comes back for one last trip with Sarah Jane. But it isn't 10 or 11. It's the Curator
Well if it was going to be any of the future version, The Curator makes sense.
Wow - beautiful! Who knows?!✌
Najawin is that like a big finish thing? Or is it just head canon?
Najawin must have missed that detail when I read it then...
Best comment - such a great idea
My GOD....Russel T Davies has NOT lost his touch. That man can pack more real emotion into a ten minute raw piece like this than most fully-produced hour-long television shows. The BBC would do well to bring him in for scripts in the modern era of Doctor Who.
Oz Baxter, Inc. amen.
He doesn't want to though and has said so many, many times.
@@aisey100 No, that's changed. He asked them to write for them and for Doctor Who, I believe but they don't want any part of him now. It was on the commentary to DEATH OF THE DOCTOR on one of the recent BLU RAYS I believe. Possibly a Jon Pertwee box set (season ten).
@@charlesmento5968 Completely untrue, no matter how much you'd like it to be.
@@aisey100 Glad you checked the sources. You are untrue.
Jo Grant is as wonderfully chaotic as ever. That line about the Doctor's two hearts, though... I appear to have something in my eye.
We all miss you, Liz.
Can't believe next year will be a whole decade since Elisabeth Sladen sadly passed away. Still remember not being able to sleep that night after hearing the sad news. RIP Sarah Jane Smith :'(
jc
Blimey, I can't believe it. I was thinking it was 4/5 years ago! :(
@@hobbitgillam Yeah, still feels like it was only recently.
Only managed to bring myself to watch this today. It's been 11, nearly 12 years since she passed, and I've held off watching the SJA series 5, and then this, because then it really would be the end of the story. Sarah Jane was a role model to me when I was growing up, watching her adventures with the Doctor on PBS. She was still a role model all through SJA when I watched it in my late 20s/early 30s. Elisabeth Sladen brought such life to Sarah Jane that I was afraid of ever meeting her at a convention, even though I desperately wanted to (and never got the chance), because I knew I'd be that weird lady who, despite being good with other actors and separating actors from roles, would just be, "Oh my gosh, you're Sarah Jane Smith. Did you know you're Sarah Jane Smith?" and entirely tongue-tied. But, as she said years ago, "Everything has its time and everything ends". So today, a week before Christmas, I decided I needed to see the end. And I'm still crying as I type. This was the goodbye Sarah Jane deserved, with all her friends celebrating how wonderful she was. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this (not that you'll ever see this comment). Thank you all so much for honoring Elisabeth Sladen and Sarah Jane this way.
I was an extra in Sarah Jane Adventures twice - firstly in April 2008 and then again in April 2010. And both times at Cardiff High School in Cardiff, where they filmed the school scenes. The first time round it was the episode from series two with the clown. Then the second time round, it was the 'Nightmare Man' one. Anyway, I met Elisabeth Sladen during the filming of 'Nightmare Man'. Before we filmed the scene where we all ran outside with our A-Level results, which took three hours to film by the way, they had a coffee machine on a crew table outside the school. I think I was going to get a drink before we filmed the scene and Elisabeth was by the table. She was struggling with the coffee machine, so I showed her how to use it even though I can't stand coffee. We talked for a bit before we had to go to our positions ready for filming the scene.
Then inbetween one of the takes, a number of us were sat on some sofas inside near the school entrance. Elisabeth sat with us and spoke to every single one of us. She thanked me again for showing her how to use the coffee machine and she asked us where we were from, how long we'd been doing supporting artist work and what time we left for Cardiff that morning (as I'm from Swansea, which is about an hour away). We were all so deep in conversation that we got shushed by one of the crew as they were about to go for a take. Even including Elisabeth herself! She was very friendly and down-to-earth. No pretentiousness or arrogance whatsoever.
That's why her death came as a huge shock to me. It was so soon after her diagnosis and having met her and been in her programme twice! :(
@@kwesiidun8512 That is a really lovely story. I'm glad you had the chance to meet her and work with her, and I'm glad to hear that she really is as special as I think of her being. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
@@citrinedragonfly - It's a pleasure. I'm happy to be able to share it. Kathleen, she really was special and more. I remember being struck by how real she was. When we were chatting, it was as though we were two old friends catching up and having a gossip rather than the main actress of a programme talking to an extra she'd met just seconds earlier. As I said, there was no pretentiousness about her. And it's clear that Tommy Knight, Daniel Anthony and Anjli Mohindra thought the world of her. I worked with those three a lot more because I was 18 at the time, so I was playing a sixth-form pupil. I appeared on screen a couple of times during the scene with Luke's surprise party, which again took hours to film. In the final edit which was broadcast, the song playing at the party was 'Untouchable' by Girls Aloud, but in real life we were actually dancing to 'I Gotta Feeling' by Black Eyed Peas. They had to play it about 40 times for takes, camera angle changes, etc., so by the end of the day I became sick of that song! Which is why when the episode went out, I was shocked to hear 'Untouchable'. But the best were the bits when Tommy, Daniel and Anjli had dialogue. In those instances, we had to dance in silence, so after the director would go "action!", we'd just be there dancing in silence while Tommy and Daniel were in the corner filming the part of the scene where Luke and Clyde are talking about who's idea the party was and how cool Rani is. And this again was done many times for takes and camera angles. It was so funny and many of us said that it was like being at a silent disco. :')
I'm 52. I was gutted 12 years ago now. I seriously felt like I had lost a friend. I am same age as David T. Imagine getting to play the Doctor! Then meeting your childhood companion!
is there an actual video to this or is it just a story told by this guy,
Sarah Jane never died. She's still in our hearts. She's out there traveling with The Doctor and K-9.❤
No K-9 leaves with Ace
@@No1ShalkaFan There was more than one K-9. One stayed with Leela on Gallifrey, the Doctor left one for Sarah on K-9 and Company, he built himself another one.....
@@No1ShalkaFan no there are at least 5 versions of k9 Leela kept him with her on Gallifrey, Romana2 kept one Sarah Jane was gifted 2 so which one left with ace?
@@julieeverett7442 K-9 MK 1 - Left on Gallifrey with Leela

RIP Sarah Jane, gone but never forgotten!
Damn right
Never forgotton
THE LAST TIMELORD never, _ever_
We don't know what happened to her in the series yes we know the actress passed away but the character we have no clue on her current situation and if she died then why didn't the doctor get informed about it like he did with the brigadere. And on the subject in think the doctor being given the news of Sarah Jane passing away would have made that scene hit 10X harder. Don't you think?
well said I agree she was THE companion
HE HAS A PICTURE OF THEM BOTH AND A CYBERMAN HELMET IM GOING TO CRYYYY LUKE AND SARAH I MISS YOUUU
"He has two hearts. Imagine them both breaking". Russell broke me with a single line, when I first saw this I cried so much. I'd never really mourned the death of an actor before, but this absolutely floored me.
This was so nostalgic to me 🥺 rest in peace elisabeth sladen, you will forever be missed ✨
Holy I never expected domvlogs to like Sarah Jane adventures?! I always imagined what it would've been like to see a video like, calling the weeping angels at 3am years ago lol
Omg hi dom, I've just come back to these and I see you here.
Mina and Anjili crying broke me (tv mother like tv daughter eh?) they must miss Lis terribly just like the rest of us. And the photo of Lis and Tommy in the background of his clip. 😭💖
Katy as Jo is when I started to cry
How could anybody forget Sarah Jane. She was like a piece of joy every kid needed.
Steve Davies well that’s just a bit weird
The speech Rani gave at the end really broke me. I haven't cried that bad in a long time. Rest in peace Elisabeth Sladen.
I thought she died ages ago
You can join Russell T Davies, David Tennant, Catherine Tate, director Graeme Harper and more, as well as Doctor Who fans around the world who are watching ‘The Stolen Earth’ and ‘Journey’s End’ tonight (19th April) from 7pm BST, with the hashtag #SubwaveNetwork on Twitter 💙💙
I actually watched both episodes late last night 🤗. Farewell Sarah Jane 🕊️
Nick Briggs, Big Finish, please:
You've managed to make Torchwood stories that focus exclusively on Ianto or Toshiko or even PC Andy. Please, please, PLEASE, give Luke, Clyde, and Rani stories! They can be solo stories set at any point in time! I'd pay double! PLEASE!
Where do we watch this?
Ethan McWahaha If I remember rightly, their respective actors don’t want to continue playing the roles without Elisabeth Sladen. I assume this was an exception since it’s a final goodbye to the character.
Can Russell T Davies please do more torchwood I miss it so much I've just watched series 1 to 2 then children of earth and Mircale day on BBC IPlayer but now there ain't any more please Russell if your reading this make some more Torchwood thank you and God Bless Sarah Jane Smith you are very sadly missed.
*”Impressively, you have accessed the Holy Grail. You may make one wish.”*

“You heard what I said.”
This guy gets it
I had a sort of vague hope, or wish, that - after a decent interval - Luke, Clyde and Rani could take up the mantle and carry on Sarah Jane's work, as young adults. Maybe bring in a kid for teen appeal, but the three of them and Mr Smith carrying on the legacy.
I agree, Luke should have his own show and it could be set in his university with K9 and we get to see the charming Sanjay that we keep on hearing so much. I doubt it would be produced though with lockdown and all.
@@leonidasrising5998 - I was thinking more along the lines of Luke moving back into Bannerman road with his partner and starting up Mr Smith again - after all, more than one episode said that the Earth needed Unit, Torchwood AND Sarah Jane - or someone at Bannerman Road, anyway - to be fully protected.
And Clyde and Rani would be there, and maybe Sky as well. And if we need a "supervising adult", why not have Alan and Maria move back? Obviously their old home wouldn't be available, but Number 13 looks a big enough house.
lol don't want much, do I??
PS and they could still drop Sarah Jane in now and then: in a "What would Sarah Jane do?" moment there could be a clip of her giving some sage advice.
Also Ace and Jo
The attention to detail, by having a picture of Luke and Sarah Jane in his room, it's amazing.
I'm thinking that's just his room and he keeps that picture (along with the cyberman helmet) on display
seeing that picture top right hand corner genuinely made me cry
My dad always said he wasn’t a Whovian. But then again I was named Sarah Jane for a reason.
What about your mom?
@@cryptozoomauler5505 My mom always liked the name Sarah, so it wasn’t a big deal when they decided on Sarah.
Russell T can produce a gem like this on a shoestring budget during lockdown! It just shows that if the writing is good, you don't need a huge budget and fancy special effects
The bit that broke me most was Lukes bit because he has a picture of him and sarah jane in the background
I watched this as a child and broke when she died. THIS IS WHAT THE SHOW DESERVES
I really didnt know what to expect but i can tell you it made me cry 😭💔
From a show perspective, leaving it open is better though.
And of course this part was probably filmed in Tommy Knight's house, meaning that is Tommy's personal photo of him and Liz Sladen.
I'm not one to cry or get emotional at stuff like this, but this was put together is such a fantastic way, despite the lockdown and stuff that I nearly cried. Russel T. Davies, the actors featured and Jacob Dudman, thank you so much for this. This was truly an amazing nine years later experience. And thank you, Elisabeth Sladen for giving the world such a wonderful character, great person and for bringing so many people together.
Weakling. I'm bawling like a baby
@@Fyreflier same
I couldn't cry but I felt the sadness in my heart. She was very special. She held me together during my teen angst phase. I love her so much. I still remember the ending to the last episode of the Sarah Jane adventures but "the story goes on".
I like to think the Doctor did come to Sarah Jane's funeral. A random woman, standing in the corner, no one knows who she is but she watches and a tear rolls down her cheek and she whispers "Goodbye... My Sarah Jane" before leaving without anyone noticing. Because no matter how much it hurts I don't think the Doctor would miss it for the world.
I have written a Ace\Graham fic where Luke makes an appearance and they talk about the funeral and Ace realizes that the Doctor was there as at that point only Tegan, Kate and herself had seen the 13th Doctor. It takes place post Power of the Doctor.
@@gsrforever1338 is there anyway I could read the fic?
She barely reacted to the mention of Rose, nor did she have much affection when she saw Ace and Tegan. No, I imagine Capaldi saying those words.
@@mayotango1317 the Doctor has long gotten over Rose and she had affection for Tegan and Ace even saying "it's good to see you both" which was lovely. Though they werent very happy with her at first. So what are you talking about? Lol
Part of me hopes they all did, somehow.
"Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether its a world... or a relationship. Everything has it's time, and everything ends."

Goodbye Sarah Jane Smith and rest in peace Elizabeth Sladen
Well, that's me in tears. What a beautiful tribute to a marvelous character and actress 💙
Ten years. There are truly no words more fitting than the final seconds of the last officially aired episode. "And the story goes on, forever" A decade later, and Elisabeth is still so sorely missed. What a legend. Thank you so much for making our childhoods.
I was a titchy little high schooler when she died. I'll still be missing her when I'm old and grey.
is there an actual video to this or is it just a story told by this guy,
Can't quite comprehend how potentially different my childhood would have been if I'd seen a character like Luke come out in my favourite TV show. So sad that Elisabeth died before the story could run its full course.
They planned to do that in fact. Luke and Sanjay was the plan when the show was in production before Elizabeth died.
I imagine after everyone left the house, a row of 13 police boxes appeared at once.
Jonathan Schultes nice thought but I don’t think 1 or 2 would show. And 3 regenerated with her so he’d be out too. But 4 on is fair game.
No sir... all thirt- oh...
Imagine all future versions too
Oh yes
There is 14 doctors. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, war doctor, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
Shaking crying on the floor, sobbing throwing up, screaming and destroying property. Over a year later and this still makes me cry more than anything.
Me too
I nearly cried man. That was a beautiful tribute. It’s so wonderful to see Daniel Anthony, Tommy Knight, Anjli Mohindra, Mina Anwar, Katy Manning and Sophie Aldred reprise their roles for this. I loved the references to The Battle of Bannerman Road with Sky, Luke being married to Sanjay and Ace having that adventure with Sarah that never got filmed. Beautiful tribute to Elisabeth Sladen. I like to believe what Rani said was true about Sarah Jane travelling to the stars with The Doctor which would explain his absence. RIP Elisabeth Sladen. Sarah Jane will always live on in our hearts. Beautiful narration from Jacob Dudman. I so wish we could see more adventures with Luke, Rani and Clyde.
"martha and mickey with their son august" yes! it's finally canon that they had a kid! i love martha and mickey. such underrated and unfairly hated characters. i would love to see them both come back to doctor who someday. this was a great tribute to sarah jane, and i loved the amy and rory reunion piece as well.
I have always loved Martha too. I just don't understand her unpopularity. And beautifully acted. Saved the world three times over, from The Master, the Daleks and not using the Osterhagen key. Mickey...... well, my problem with him was the first episode, Rose. He was just an awful character and so badly acted. And the special effects for plastic Mickey were terrible. All of these put together made me dislike the character immediately. But to Noel Clarke's credit he's did say in an interview in DWM that when he took on the part he didn't think Doctor Who would have taken off like it did and he thought he would only be in that one episode so he didn't take it too seriously. He realised his mistake, apologised to the producers and went on to make Mickey so much more than "the robot dog". I'm glad Martha and him got together but wonder what happened to her engagement to that dishy doctor! And I wonder if there's a reason they called their kid August. Any ideas?
Me I think her and mick should rock up in a unit tv series after unit was shut down and help then save the world along with there son
Ikr!
Martha and Mickey were both very good however the sudden 'we're married now lol' came out of nowhere and makes not much sense. many other questions but what happened to Tom?
They were hated?
It’s great to finally have some closure on these characters after how abruptly the series had to end back in 2011. Thank you Russell for writing such a fantastic and satisfying conclusion to the most influential show of my childhood. The legacy of SJA will live on forever ❤️
And on this note of closure, childhood (apart from Dr who itself) is finally over😭
Thank you Russell T. Davis, Tommy Knight, Daniel Anthony, Anji Mohandra, Yasmin Paige, the late Elizabeth Sladen and everyone involved
‘They’re out there now. Sarah Jane and the Doctor in the TARDIS. Travelling through space and time forever. In a story that never ends.’ Elisabeth’s song may have ended, but her story will never end. ❤️
This made me tear up bro

😢😢😢
I can picture it actually happening. The Doctor knowing her time is coming and spent their final time with her like with River Song.
Absolutely!
Narrator: the outpouring of grief was tangible. None more so that from a mysterious blonde woman who sat in the back row. No one knew exactly who she was but everyone was sure they knew her from somewhere. They just couldn't put their finger on it. She seemed quite hit hard by grief and was completely lost for words whenever anyone spoke to her. The only words she spoke the whole day were to K-9. What was said was between K-9 and herself but the robot dog was seen nodding his head.
Sorry, whose that referring to?

I was born in 2001, long after classic who finished. The first ever episode i saw was 'Silence in the Library' and it hooked me like nothing else.
When I saw the episode where the tenth doctor meets Sarah Jane, i was confused. I had no idea who she was. I hadn't even known classic who existed up to that point. Sarah Jane was what motivated me to look up classic who and take a look.
These days, she's one of my favourite companions, the fourth doctor being my second favourite doctor of all time.
The first episode I saw was the Aliens of London
I was born in the same year I watched the first ever episode of the sarah jane adventures she was my childhood
2001 baby here too😊
SAME!!!! The Sarah Jane episode was my sole motivator to watch Classic Who. I mean, I already knew of it, but I didn't really feel much motivation to watch it. But everything about Sarah Jane made me curious about her adventures with HER Doctor (or I guess I should say Doctors) and then the other companions I wasn't aware of and obviously I couldn't just jump into Pertwee's final season. I had to start from the beginning. But just starting from Pertwee's first season isn't enough. How did he become the Doctor? And how did the Doctor before become the Doctor? And before I knew it I was watching "An Unearthly Child".
That was the perfect send off-to someone who can’t properly have one-how important she was!And to see she is still remembered now and will be in the future!
K-9 left with Ace. I can't think of a better team there.
This was absolutely wonderful. Thank you all so much for making this final story.

RIP to Elizabeth Sladen, by far the best and most beloved Doctor Who Companion, gone but never forgotten, having left her mark and memory on us all; fans, cast mates from her time and the current time, we miss her and are forever heartbroken but will watch her in Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures for all time to come. ❤️
9 years ago today, a year from now it’ll be 10, and we all still love and miss her dearly.
“The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it’s a world or a relationship, everything has its time. And everything ends.” her best line of dialogue. Only her memory, inspiration and essence to us all has never ended.
Russell T. Davis is a genius ..... this I was not expecting ..... this tore me up ...... I had to catch my breath so many times, I grew up with Doctor Who, I am as old as the show..... Sarah Jane is the First Lady of space...... I think about her at times as I think about my own mother both departed just months apart.....she’s with my doctor now traveling in space and time.
It is quite sad because in Luke's part if you look beside him there is actually a picture of him and Elizabeth Sladen. (Man I miss her more than ever. :()
This tore my heart out, but we truly needed this. Elisabeth, SARAH, deserved a proper end to her story. Or a new beginning, off the pages, so to speak. She was an inspiration and I am so glad to see all the cast, past and...more recent past, come together for her. I only wished that Tennant, Matt, or Baker had appeared at some point. But who knows? Maybe 4, 10 and 11 were there. Maybe they all were, just not in the part we will get to see. Sarah Jane's definitely among the stars, where she and Elisabeth can be among their own kind.
4 is too busy in e space
I don’t think they will be able to recreate the group this well again so it’s better off not
definitely
@@alexrobisnon6288 I believe 4 is the one who came back at the end though.
@@timrob12 me too
I cried like a baby. No brings the whoniverse alive like Russell t Davies. He makes you care as only he can. I felt the pain of her loss as if it's happening right now. Thanks so much for that beautiful love letter to Sarah Jane!
I wish we got this in the most recent Era Of Doctor Who this is what the most recent Era Of Doctor Who has been lacking recently.
This was absolutely beautiful, I'd forgotten how much I'd missed Clyde, Luke, and Rani but getting to see them one last time and see how their lives went had me tearing up. And considering how iconic both Elizabeth Sladen and Sarah Jane are to Whovians I'm amazed RTD was able to give her such a perfect send-off.
From the moment Katy Manning appeared, I was expecting this to end with either Tom, David or Jodie giving some great speech about how much Sarah Jane meant to them, but having her story end with her getting one last trip with any one of The Doctor's is wonderful.
I’m sorry but this is beautiful. It feels like she passed just Yesterday in the way that it is done. ❤️💛
Yeah, I still remember not being able to sleep that night after I heard the sad news :'(
To me this was the tribute Sarah Jane deserved, but no one could really write yet.
Omg I remember being so excited when this series started . It was like catching up with an old friend . Sarah Jane was my all time favourite Doctor Who Companion. I practically grew up watching her . I am in floods watching this . Such a fitting tribute . RIP Elizabeth Sladen . Our very much loved Sarah Jane . Really miss you x
Luke got to come out to his mum and she set him up, that's so perfect.
I had to rewind and make sure I heard it right. I could imagine that she would have been so proud of him
The SJA were an integral part of my childhood, and it’s so inspiring to see those involved come back in order to celebrate the amazing Elizabeth Sladen. Well done Russel and everyone involved.
What did it mean ‘Sky briefly manifested in her human form’
PunMaster Sky is the daughter of the Trickster. In the planned series 5 finale, she was going to be revealed as the Trickster’s daughter with the Trickster manipulating events to bring Sky and Sarah together. He was going to awaken Sky’s Trickster half and use her to attack Sarah Jane. At the end of the story, it would be a emotional ending as Sky sacrifices herself and becomes an entity that guards the Trickster in his prison for eternity. This story was called The Battle of Bannerman Road.
@@jaydenyugi9034 And that explains why The Trickster attacked this time, Sky left her guardian duty for a moment.
Sarah Jane Smith, and even moreso Elisabeth Sladen was a gift to this world, and, while she of course wouldn't want us to see the world as any darker, it is quieter. I'm glad we can always look back on the wonderful memories we got with that amazing woman.
I feel like they're also talking about elizabeth sladen when they say things about sarah jane in this
They are. You can see it in their faces 😢
Of course they are.
Well they are.
The part with Geeta made me cry. Loved her character she was hilarious in the show. Amazing actress that she can make you laugh out loud and cry at the same time. ❤️
Who is Gita? I’ve only watched a few episodes of Sarah Jane adventures, and haven’t seen a lot of classic
@@ApexGorilla1 Rani's mum
ah ok
@@ApexGorilla1 rani's mom, she was brilliant in the later series
Such a beautifully touching tribute to an actress, a character and a show, each one inspiring so many. Our Sarah Jane. May the adventures and memories live on forever.
This was such a beautiful ending to the story, just all the little things like Luke marrying Sanjay, everyone saying their last goodbye, and I absolutely believe Rani is right; they're both still out there somewhere, travelling together forever.
Still miss you Liz, and this was an amazing send off
@@IdioticSynergy Mate, how the hell could I forget you? XD
@@QueenCreeps well how are you? Do you still have that discord server?
@@QueenCreeps Also I have a twitter now so sorry for the spam lol
I remember when I found out about Elizabeth dying. I was in my local shop getting some afterschool sweets to go home and to watch the season finale of Sarah jane adventures. I was waiting in line to pay when I saw the newspaper stand. I saw them mentioned Sarah jane then I saw "Elizabeth Salden Sarah Jane Adventures star dies at 60" I remember leaving the line and standing staring at the page reading the article. I'll never forget the feeling that I just lost a part of myself.
The irony is that she died between the 1 part being aired and the 2nd part of the series 4 final and the episodes were called goodbye Sarah Jane
@@katiethomas5394 it was so bittersweet
‘i honestly don’t think she’s dead’ why did that make me cry so much 😔
This was absolutely fantastic! Bravo Russell T Davis! (On a side note genuinely this is what Doctor who has been missing these past few years.. RTD is one of thee best writers the shows ever had and it needs him back!)
Mattie YES !
I miss his writing so much but he doesn't want to come back. I just hope they change writers and bring back the spark that the last few seasons have been missing.
Your crystal ball is in great working order. :)
@@eshbena Lol. I'm so happy! I hope he has creative control.
@@strigiform3s He apparently does. His first project is the 60th anniversary and then he's doing Season 14 as head writer and executive producer again
I’m sat here in floods of tears all over again. I remember being a child and bumping into Liz once in London and it was the most surreal thing and I said I’m sorry Sarah Jane and she said oh it’s fine must dash though.
When She passed away I remember the rolling news and just breakingdown in floods of tears and those tears are back but it has put a close to the story.
Thank you Russell and more importantly thank you Elisabeth for bringing joy to everyone’s lives.
I remember hearing the sad news. I was in a travelodge with my family when the news reporter announced she had died. Both me and my twin sister, Ella, who had been fans of the show, were both shocked and saddened by the news. Elizabeth Sladen was taken from us too soon. She is, and will always be Sarah Jane Smith to so many of us.
Christ, we're all locked up indoors trying to keep ourselves together and they release this! I was done when Ace appeared, let alone the rest.
Elizabeth Sladen needs a gigantic statue of herself, so we can really show how much we love her. Take it out of the tax payers money, we don't mind. 55 Ft Statue of Elizabeth Sladen, now. She deserves it!
55? _55?_ 700ft, at least! In solid gold, of course...
With armed guards
@@jacklees9529 armed UNIT guards ;)
700ft gold statue of Elizabeth Sladen stood next to the TARDIS, on the bottom have the inscription "No-one ever forgot about her."
Sumone make a pertishon to get it dun
So beautiful. I'm especially glad Katy Manning came in for this. I know most people remember Sarah-Jane for her time with the fourth Doctor. But I'll always love her time with the 3rd. All Hail Sarah-Jane the Most iconic companion of them all.
I tend to think of Sarah and the 3rd too. Them in the TARDIS going on holiday and talking about Florana and how she can sink anywhere. haha.
And I dont know for some reason I think he would be the Doctor to come back to see her at the end. He comes back before he regenerates and takes her away to Florana and they sit on the beach looking out. She notices a tear and says to him "Tear? Doctor? Dont cry." and she whips away a single tear as it runs down his face.
Bit sappy but I think it works.
@@diracsea4590 I would SOO love that! You are absolutely right!
@@madeleine5561 Thank you. It seemed like the perfect time traveler book end to their relationship. And if I could draw I would draw it up; them sitting on the beach as the sun sets her head leaning on his shoulder.
@@diracsea4590 that would be perfection!
I would love for this to be turned into an actual special episode, it would be a great way to give respect to the actor and character of Sarah Jane
Omg, THIS.
The BBC is too busy pushing forward the shitshow that is Chibnall's era to do anything that respectable.
@@SaintsBro217 Hey, you know perspective? Some of us who've managed to cling onto it can actually go into a comments section about a doctor who thing and make a comment that's related to the video. I know, it seems wild, but you should try it.
Rad Historian true
I would very much petition for that.
I think a rewatch of “School Reunion”. Yeah.
Update: watched it. Blubbed. 🤷🏻♂️
That one is the 2nd best episode of Doctor who just under the stolen earth and the 2nd part to that episode
Aye aye!
"Oh, it's you isn't it . . . Doctor?"
God no , can't tonight , I would have to drink a full bottle of JD to numb the pain.
The people who disliked this just missed the like button because they couldn’t see through the tears
Yes, let's go with that because I can't bear to think that people could dislike this. ❤
It's like a small piece of my childhood has finally closed.
I really relate to that
This is the most beautiful thing ive seen in a long time. Sarah Jane Adventures is what introduced me to the world of doctor who, my fondest memorys are of watching the episodes when i was little, and the trickster making his way into my dreams. Im so so glad this was made. Tegan and Nyssa? Luke having a husband? Martha and mickey having a kid? Everyones speeches made me tear up. Thank you so so much for this :)
This is the best thing Russel ever wrote. When he’s doing sci fi and he’s got no limits, he’s just out of control. That’s when we get stuff like the Doctor being revived by faith and the Master being a lightning fueled skeletor. But when Russel is writing small, character driven stuff? That’s what he’s best at. That’s what he’ll always be remembered for. The Sarah Jane Adventures weren’t only his best work in the Doctor Who universe, they were his best work period.
That was so very moving. And so lovely to see the wonderful cast again. A fitting tribute to the wonderful Lis Sladen. xx Thank you
Sarah Jane Smith makes me feel nostalgic with The Sarah Jane Adventures. I am so happy to grow up with not only Doctor Who, but also this beloved spin-off of her adventures! I feel sad that it will no longer continue, so Rest in peace, Sarah Jane! We will never forget you! #FarewellSarahJane
''And the story goes on... forever.''
I was really trying to hold it together and then I see Luke has a picture with Liz!
I remember the day she died and i just sobbed on my parents bed...
Tahlia Green25 we all did
Tahlia Green25 me too 💔
Tahlia Green25 she died on my birthday... 💔
@@justinwaymanmusic Happy Birthday, at least?
Caitlin O'Brien thank you :)
So, very heartbreaking. I just miss *our* Sarah Jane, every single day. 😭
Sometime before Elisabeth's passing, my mum saw her a few times at our local tranquility beauty salon in Ealing. She didn't want to disturb her because she noticed that Elisabeth was looking "pale", and had no idea - like us all fans - that she was suffering from cancer. When my mum first told me, she wasn't aware that I was such a die-hard fan of Sarah Jane Smith. But if she had been able to tell Elisabeth about my appreciation, at the time, I think she would have felt comforted. Nevertheless, we all move on and continue to remember her.
Good
Marvel: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event of all time

They never said that, that was Infinity War
@@No1ShalkaFan wdym?
@@pepebabushki9376 there probably was another movie such as endgame in the original comment, Ben corrected it and then the first comment was edited

*OH NO THAT’S WHAT THIS IS. DON’T CRY*
Amazing work, everyone. I was so lucky to be even a tiny part of this show's legacy through the promotion and events and, thanks to Lis, it will live on forever. All the best from the CBBC Office to Bannerman Road
I was fine until Rani gave her speech and now I’m crying over my coffee. She’s been gone so long but it doesn’t feel that way, this is my first time watching this. SJ and DW where a staple of my childhood
I wasn't expecting Gita to make me cry, never really liked her as a character, suppose it was that "Best friend" line, all those hours pretending I was in the show, part of the group, yeah I suppose younger me did think of Sarah Jane as a friend in away. That's why Elisabeth Sladen's death got to me so much.
So R.I.P Miss Sladen and Miss Sarah Jane Smith.
i love d in tine
Rhys Causon Gita was when I absolutely lost it here. I think because she’s such a fine actress and really seemed to be committing to what had been given to her.
No need to apologize mate, we all get that way for the icons from childhood. I was the same when Tim Brooke-Taylor died last week. For me, a lonely kid in Australia in the late 70's, my afternoon revolved around The Goodies and Doctor Who, which at that point was showing either first run or repeats of Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker.
I expected this to be a nice little treat but now I’m balling my eyes out
I had the great pleasure to meat Elizabeth Sladen at a Star Trek convention of all places. So no one was that interested in Dr Who. As a result I got to spend a long time chatting to her and ended up with an autograph pin badge of her and John Pertwee’s Dr and an autographed box with a seal of Rassilon mug in it. She was as lovely as everyone says and I was so glad I’d got to meet her. It was an honour and a privilege. God Bless You Elizabeth
A beautiful, moving and perfect send off for the great woman. The cameos by all the characters were performed beautifully. Thank you to Russell for writing this, the idea that shes still out there is lovely, and that one day....one day Ace and K9 might pick it all back up again! Loved it. If you didnt cry, you're not human ❤❤
Even K9 and Mr Smith probably cried, digitally.
The Sarah Jane Adventures was my introduction to the world of Dr Who, and this is such a lovely tribute. 😭😭😭😭 I hope they'll put SJA on iPlayer again.
I have just re watched SJA as an adult and finished off with this and on man have I cried absolutely beautiful tribute
I'VE ONLY BEEN WATCHING A MINUTE I'M ALREADY CRYING!
*EDIT* THAT WAS OVER 13 MINUTES OF ME COMPLETELY CRYING MY HEART OUT LIKE I DID WHEN I WAS LIKE 16 FINDING OUT LIZ HAD DIED 😭😭😭😭😭😭
