So we were all excited by the 60th anniversary of some TV show or other recently, but today also marked the 50th anniversary of one of its most important casting changes:
Lis Sladen making her debut as Sarah Jane Smith (posing as her aunt to break into UNIT) in “The Time Warrior” on December 15, 1973. I always thought she got a pretty rum deal at the end of her time, just getting dropped off at the end of “Hand of Fear”, so I was pleased to see her getting a second chance on the revived show and with her own series. After all, if you were going to bring back a classic series companion, she was the obvious first choice.
