A new month is kicked off with a celebration, as we ask you to join us in raising our glasses and wishing Elisabeth Sladen a very happy birthday!

We all know Sladen as the one and only Miss Sarah Jane Smith, who was originally introduced to the Whoniverse as a companion to the Third and Fourth Doctors from 1973 through to 1976.

She returned in Series 2’s School Reunion in 2006, and then again in Series 4’s The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End, and she was briefly seen on New Year’s Day in The End of Time, Part Two. And, of course, for the past 3 years she has been entertaining a whole new generation in her very own CBBC series, The Sarah Jane Adventures!

Lis is celebrating her 62nd birthday, and we hope she has a marvellous day!
