Probably the worst time for me to watch it to be honest. Someone else said: "I've never seen this clip. Them two truly never stopped being The Doctor & Sarah Jane." One fan said: "I think part of it is that, whenever a camera is on Tom, he's "on", and there's always so much (admittedly wonderful) shtick that you're kinda held at bay from what his truth and this clip is a rare glimpse through that."Īnother added: "They were really an iconic duo just seeing the way Tom is being unable to remember that final goodbye is heartbreaking. A number of fans also seemed to be moved by the clip, with some saying they were "crying" alongside him. Poor us, eh."īy the end of the clip, Tom appears to be moved close to tears. But I don't remember the last time I saw her. I remember the last two or three times, when we would say goodbye - we were always a little bit tongue-tied, you know. Tom said: "I don't remember the last time I saw Liz. The clip, which is under a minute long, shows Tom becoming tearful as he remembers his friend. I was there, I knew her, she was good to me and I shall always be grateful, and I shall miss her."Īs fans came together on social media today to celebrate the birthday of one of their beloved Doctor Who legends, one fan shared an interview with the star in which he discussed Elizabeth's death. He concluded the emotional reminiscing by saying: "I am consoled by the memories. Read more: Doctor Who fans think they recognise David Tennant on The Masked Singer from clever clues

He said: "A terrible blow to her friends and a shattering blow for all those fans of the programme whose lives were touched every Saturday evening by her lovely heroic character, Sarah-Jane Smith." The two shared a great friendship during their time on Who and beyond, and Tom shared a heartfelt tribute to Elizabeth on his website following her death. Elizabeth tragically died of cancer in April 2011. The short clip shows Tom tearing up as he recalls Elizabeth, who played Sarah-Jane Smith on the long-running show between 19, as well as the modern CBBC spin-off, the Sarah-Jane Adventures between 20. Fans took to Twitter today (Friday, January 20) to celebrate the star's 89th birthday, but have been left broken up over the tearful video.


Doctor Who fans have been left emotional after a video resurfaced on the internet of former Who actor Tom Baker remembering his co-star Elizbeth Sladen.
