Elisabeth Sladen - 1948-2011
It is with great sadness to hear that Elisabeth Sladen has passed away. Known and loved by many as the Doctor's companion, Sarah Jane Smith, Elisabeth Sladen remains one of the most popular actresses in the show's history. She first appeared on the show in 1973 and portrayed the extremely popular character until 1976. She appeared along side Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker during that time period. As Sarah Jane she made appearances in The Five Doctors and a pilot series called K-9 & Company. 
She would reprise the role in 2006 in the new Doctor Who series with David Tennant and star in the spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures It was there that Sladen continued to bring us our beloved character and met the latest Doctor played by Matt Smith.
Sladen had been battling cancer for some time. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go to her family.

Tardis Coffin
This is old news from 2009 but I stumbled across it while looking for photos of the TARDIS for the China article. A Doctor Who fan who died in an accident had a Doctor Who style funeral complete with the Doctor Who theme music and a TARDIS coffin. Readings were quotes from the series.
It is a sad story of course but what an original and cool way to be sent off!!
China Bans Time Travel
The Chinese government has banned depictions of time travel on television stating that it is unhealthy. Two recent Chinese TV shows included history changing ideas that the government didn't like too much. They also feel that time travel is more about statements about current events and is therefore dangerous!
