ADD QUOTES
- Elisabeth Sladen: (About her Sarah Jane Adventures co-stars) K-9 is good when he's used properly but it's difficult to work with an inanimate object. I know Tom [Baker] used to kick him across the studio. So to have the children instead, real flesh and blood, is better. I was worried because you look at the age group and they could have been spawn of the devil. But they are such lovely children.

- Elisabeth Sladen: (About the first day filming School Reunion) I just wanted to go in and do the work, I had so many flowers in the trailer I thought I'd died! It really was not very low key.

- Elisabeth Sladen: Occasionally hoodies will come up and I think 'Oh God, I'm going to be mugged',but they're so nice to me! 'Hello, Sarah', they'll say. At Charing Cross Station the other week, I was just sitting there with my coffee waiting for a connection, and this guy didn't stop walking, he just came up and said 'god bless you, Sarah', and walked off! It's sort of non-intrusive and I'm sure it's not what the Doctors get at all, but it's always very sweet, I like it.
