Asked if a tribute to Sladen will be featured on the upcoming episode, a spokesperson for Doctor Who told Digital Spy that the show's production team are "planning something suitable".

However, further information on what that might include is not yet available.

I was really upset when I saw this on the news last night. I wasn't around when she was on our screens originally, but I was a HUGE Doctor Who fan as a child. We used to rent the videos from the local video shop as often as we could, and I'd spend my pocket money buying them. Sarah-Jane Smith was by far my favourite companion of the Doctor's. She was a wonderful actress, who brought a new dynamic to the show. It's wonderful that another generation of children has been able to fall in love with her character with the new series, and her own as well. Such a shame, and such a loss.

RIP Elisabeth Sladen.
