Elisabeth Sladen Will Get A Who Tribute

The Doctor Who production team has today confirmed that they will pay homage to Elisabeth Sladen in the broadcast of The Impossible Astronaut this Saturday. Asked by Digital Spy as to what the tribute will entail, a spokesman for the BBC said the crew were "planning something suitable" to air directly after the first episode of Series Six, but would not divulge further. In all honesty, I think that's a good idea as it will make whatever's coming all the more moving than us knowing exactly what to expect. DWM (the Doctor Who Magazine) has also revealed that we should get to see the last three recorded Sarah Jane Adventures stories that were filmed late last year to originally air alongside three others this Autumn (these were postponed and inevitably cancelled as Liz's state deteriorated) at some point in 2011. The publication revealed that there would be special tribute issues of DWM dedicated to the late Nicholas Courtney and Elisabeth Sladen in the second half of the year as well, so clearly everyone is taking what has happened just as seriously as they should, even though none of us were ready to say Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith.
