Such a great and touching story! Very Sarah Jane of her and you.

I’d love to see the pictures from that convention, and could you reproduce your interview with her, or point us to where it may be found? I’d love to read it.

Thanks, Matt. I’m glad you liked it. That was actually the scaled down version – the events of that weekend would probably make a good comedic novella or short film. It was pretty insane.

A couple of people have asked if the photo is from that convention. Unfortunately, my scanner picked last week to go rogue so I couldn’t get those scanned in. The photo at the top of the story is from a few years later. If Lis’ face looks a little different it’s because she was pregnant with her daughter, Sadie, when that was taken (it’s the same reason she got a pretty unflattering outfit in THE FIVE DOCTORS; they had to hide the ‘baby bump’). I am planning on getting those scanned and will post a link here to them.

Thank you for sharing that wonderful story! Hand of Fear was the first Doctor Who I ever saw, and she and Tom had me hooked. I too was shocked to hear of her passing, and my prayers go out to her family.
