Who: Sarah-Jane's Best Moments

Elisabeth Sladen's death was such an untimely passing, so unexpected, that it  took every fan by surprise yesterday. To keep the spirit up for those of you who are still finding the grief hard to cope with (and believe me, the situation is the same for me), let me remind you of the actress's best episodes as Sarah-Jane Smith:
THE TIME WARRIOR- Posing as a journalist, Sarah-Jane joined the Doctor on the TARDIS to fight a menacing Sontaran in medieval times, and even in her first story Liz is innocent yet totally believable as a companion.
SCHOOL REUNION- 43 years later, Liz returned to the show, older and yet somehow the same, but this time tear-inducing as she asked the Doctor why she was left behind and eventually got a new lease on life.
THE TRICKSTER STORIES (SJA)- All three of Sarah-Jane's encounters with the ultimate time meddler featured an emotional hurdle for Elizabeth to try and empathise with, and every time she managed it perfectly- the scene where she meets her doomed parents and they reconcile before they go to their deaths in The Temptation Of Sarah-Jane Smith is utterly heartbreaking and so well played.
THE DOCTOR STORIES (SJA)- Twice the Doctor returned to help his old companion in two different incarnations, and both times the chemistry was spot-on, one of the best relationships between the Time Lord and his companion so far. Sarah-Jane's tearful goodbye of sorts to the Tenth Doctor in Wedding is highly relevant today, especially one line she said when her old friend asked her not to forget him: "No one's ever going to forget you."
