Well done to BBC Four for showing The Hand Of Fear as a tribute to the late, great Elisabeth Sladen. Not only is this a classic serial but it also marks the original departure of Sarah Jane Smith in a scene which is arguably the most heart rendering departure of them all.
Tom Baker and Lis Sladen were a magical partnership and her leaving is still affecting to this day when it comes to an end. Sladen's acting in that final scene encompasses her entire contribution to the series. She is funny, heart wrenching, endearing and absolutely beautiful throughout.
And like this scene we will never, ever forget her. God bless Sarah Janes and Lis Sladen.
