RIP Ms. Sladen
“Sarah Jane” of Doctor who famed has died.
I loved the episodes in recent years where she reprised her role as Sarah Jane. Really good!
Personally, I could never sit thru a full episode of Dr Who... within minutes I was channel surfing again.
Oh, no. Agreed, it was good to see her reprise the role one last time before she left us. How sad. She was so wonderful.
Why? The new one or the old one?
The ‘Adventures’ for reprised for children. She was very good with children ...
The ‘Adventures’ were reprised for children. She was very good with children ... sorry about the double post, not seeing really clear right now.
ANY one. Just not my cup of tea, you might say.
Is it just the Brit stuff?
No, loved Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Are you Being Served (some were better than others). Hated Benny Hill... and Dr Who.
Blake’s Seven? Red Dwarf?
Loved Red Dwarf . . . see a little of the cat in meself. Dave was ok, but curry? . . . please!
And certainly, when I needed an intellectual aside, always turn to Holly.
Incidentally, Craig Charles, who plays Lister on the show, has stated that Red Dwarf will be shooting a new series in 2011 that will be aired some time in 2012. UKTV confirmed on 10th of April 2011 that a new series of Red Dwarf, entitled Red Dwarf X will be on Dave once production has been agreed
I did not care much for the Red Dwarf: Back to Earth.
Red Dwarf Ping!
What will K-9 do now? No more Mistress.
Such a shame. Prayers for the repose of her soul and for her friends and family.
She will be missed.
I was amazed at how young she still looked in the new Dr. Who series.
I was privileged to watch all of the old series after I got married. Sometimes, branching out into a new experience can be fun.
