Elizabeth Sladen RIP

I am saddened by the shock news of this well known actress

BBC News report

Me too. I'm a big dr who fan so it's very sad to hear this

Sad news hope the BBC show some old Doctor Who's as a tribute

Big Dr Who fan this is very sad news I had no idea she was ill and on the eve of the new series as well

Only found about the news late last night, still in shock about R.I.P Elizabeth Sladen

Sad news I grew up with the Tom Baker era and Sarah Jane Smith was my favortie assistant RIP

Very sad news. My condolences to her family and friends.

Not a Dr Who fan but I always thought she was gorgeous. Really sad news.

A little bit before my time as a Whovian, but have seen her performances on the classic series as I have most of the dvds, and her recent appearances in the new episodes and all I can say is very, very sad news. Was really shocked to hear this today. I think the returning series of Dr Who on Saturday will have something suitable as a tribute.

RIP Elisabeth Sladen

The world is a poorer place today - I grew up watching Liz and Tom, and for me she's always epitomised Dr Who.
My thoughts and best wishes to her family, friends and colleagues at this sad time.

I'm sure the BBC and the current Dr Who production team will find a suitably fitting way to celebrate her life.
