After the sad news that Elisabeth Sladen passed away on Tuesday with a long battle of cancer, the official BBC Doctor Who website has confirmed that there will be a tribute programme, lasting 15 minutes on Saturday 23rd April, and it will air straight after 'The Impossible Astronaut' at 6:45PM BST.The full report can be seen below:
Elisabeth Sladen created one of Doctor Who's best loved and most enduring characters, Sarah Jane Smith. For over 35 years she brought the feisty, compassionate journalist to life, creating a figure that was adored by audiences of all ages - truly a heroine whose appeal had no boundaries.
This 15 minute programme is both a tribute and a celebration of Elisabeth Sladen. It brings together stories from friends and colleagues and draws on a rich archive of material to remind us of Sarah Jane's journey, from companion to the Third Doctor to the central character in CBBC's award-winning The Sarah Jane Adventures.
Produced by Gillane Seaborne and Brian Minchin, My Sarah Jane: A Tribute to Elisabeth Sladen is on CBBC on Saturday, at 6.45pm, straight after the end of The Impossible Astronaut.
There will also be a dedication at the start of the episode, which kicks off Series 6 of Doctor Who.
