Tears for Sarah Jane (video)
It is more than a year now that the wonderful Elisabeth Sladen passed away. Therefore I thought it would be time again to post this beautiful tribute video made by Babelcolour.

Elisabeth Sladen
Today would have been the birthday of Elisabeth Sladen whom we all knew and loved in the role of Sarah Jane Smith, companion of the Doctor and later in the spin-off "The Sarah Jane Adventures".
I didn't know her before Doctor Who was relaunched in 2005 but I think today is a good day to remember, what she and her role meant for you and maybe say a small thank you for being who she was.
Thank you Lis.

SJA: The Man Who Never Was, Part 2
This is it. The last episode of "The Sarah Jane Adventures".
Summary:
Sarah Jane, Luke and Sky are captured after they find out that Mr Serf is a hologram, which is operated by aliens. The aliens are slaves and are punished when they don't do what they should. Rani and Clyde sneak into the launch of the computer and can get the punishment pen but loose it again shortly afterwards. Mr Smith call for help for the aliens and in the end the can be rescued.
The second part of this episode was great too and I really liked the scene when Sky and Luke controlled the hologram. The alien were cute as well and they weren't bad, which you thought after the first part. It is really sad that the series is over now but it wouldn't have worked without Elisabeth Sladen and I'm glad that they haven't tried to do it without her. I really liked that they showed scenes from the whole series at the end of this episode to get a nice ending and they had a scene with David Tennant too. We will miss you Liz!
You can watch the episode online.

Doctor Who Spin-offs
I really enjoy the Doctor Who spin-offs Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures.
Torchwood was the only show from which all episodes were shown on German TV. It's at reruns at the moment probably to prepare people for the upcoming new series (Tuesdays 21.50 on RTL2 for those who are interested). I really love Jack in Torchwood but I wasn't that sure about the character when I first saw him on Doctor Who. Well, I guess he's a bit more grown up now. The last series of Torchwood was a bit shocking with so many loved characters dead but it was shown before that the people behind the scenes are not afraid to let main characters die in this show. I think I have to watch the show in English one day to hear the "original" voices but I sometimes have problems to understand strong accents.
I'm still catching up with the episodes of the Sarah Jane Adventures but I have finished watching the first series by now. Unfortunatly there won't be any new episodes except the already filmed ones because the actress of Sarah Jane, Elisabeth Sladen, died recently. It was quite unexpected for everyone and a lot of people will miss her (RIP). I only know her from the newer Doctor Who and Sarah Jane Adventures episodes but I think she was a great actress and really loved her job. It's good that they don't cast another actress for the role because I think nobody would watch the show then. There can only be one Sarah Jane. The Sarah Jane Adventures are more for a younger audience but I think it is fun to watch for children of all ages.
Because of the different spin-offs which expand the Doctor Who universe it never gets boring. I hope there will be a lot more episodes of Doctor Who and Torchwood in the future.
