Memories: Elisabeth Sladen,
Never To Be Forgotten

Today's Tune: "The Warrior" By Scandal
Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) and the Doctor (Jon Pertwee)

wrestle with a Sontaran in 'Doctor Who' - "The Time Warrior" (1973).
English actress Elisabeth Sladen was born on February 1, 1946, in Liverpool, England. Therefore, since today is the day of the year to celebrate her birthday, this 'Today's Tune' is dedicated to her.
I have always been a big fan of Elisabeth Sladen, ever since she starred in 'Doctor Who', the longest running science-fiction television show of all time and space. From 1973 to 1976, Sladen portrayed an investigative-reporter named Sarah Jane Smith, the most popular of all the many companions that 'the Doctor' ever had. Sarah Jane is the role Elisabeth Sladen is most remembered for. She then reprised the role a few times, including in the 'Doctor Who' spin-offs, 'K-9 And Company' and 'The Sarah Jane Adventures'. Unfortunately, Sladen died from cancer on April 19, 2011, at the age of 63.
The very first story that included the Sarah Jane Smith character was called "The Time Warrior", which originally aired in four episodes, from December 15, 1973 to January 5, 1974. This story's title led to my choice of musical track for today.
The American (US) band Scandal, fronted by singer Patty Smyth, released a song called "The Warrior" in August, 1984. It comes from the album of the same name, also released in August of 1984.
Scandal were popular for a few years, 1981 - 1985, creating a few hits before splitting up. They reunited in 2004, and have continued to tour off and on since then. Band members have changed over the years.
Scandal - "The Warrior" (1984)
Original official video reminds me of the musical, 'Cats'. How 'bout you?

REVIEW: The Sensorites DVD
By Cameron K McEwan at Blogtor Who
...a great story that demonstrates some interesting character traits on behalf of our heroes. The Doctor is as delightfully crotchety as ever - never have the words "hissy" and "fit" seemed so apt for the young Time Lord. His anger and impatience at the Sensorites is fascinating to watch and comes off as quite a nasty piece of work; almost over~bearing when it comes to his attitude towards Susan. It's an engaging watch, all to easy to forget that even back then, characters had "arcs"...

Review: U.N.I.T Files - DVD
By Dale Who at Doctor Who Online
...The TARDIS arrives back in present day London, bringing The Doctor (Jon Pertwee) to a deserted capital city. However the TARDIS isn't the only time machine operating in the area; and it's up to the Time Lord and his companion Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) to work out who's responsible for the rather large stegasaurus in the middle of Pall Mall in this two disc release from the BBC / 2|Entertain stable; forming one of the two stories making up the U.N.I.T Files Box-set...
...Doctor Who Stories: Elisabeth Sladen: Part One - Culled from "The Story Of Doctor Who", this featurette does two things: it makes you remember just how great Sarah Jane Smith was, and it breaks your heart when you think that Lis Sladen is no longer with us to reprise that great character. Featured in part one are her experiences with the Third Doctor, from her meeting with Barry Letts and Jon Pertwee, through her memories of Daleks, Exxilons and Whomobiles. It's hardly new material, or in most cases new stories and anecdotes, but it's just great to see such a wonderful Doctor Who legend on screen looking so full of life, even if knowing there'll be no more new stories adds a piquancy to the featurette...

Before There was Elf
By Joe Siegler at Black Sabbath Online
Those of you who have been following this site for awhile know of my affinity for trying to present the entire story, not just bits and pieces, or just selected parts. Well, that’s why this piece is of particular interest to me. I’ve been following Ronnie James Dio’s career for a long time. First hopped on board in 1981, and followed his work until he died in 2010. Pretty much everyone knows about his Rainbow & Black Sabbath careers. Some know about his Elf material before Rainbow, but I’d say it’s a safe bet that the majority of fans don’t know about his pre-Elf material. There was a decent amount of it. Ronnie’s first recorded anything came out in 1957. Which means his recording career ran 52 years from...

CR AWARDS: Queen
By gbarton at Classic Rock
Queen won the Best Reissue Of The Year Award – come inside for exclusive chinwags with none other than guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor...
...Do you have any theories about why those old Queen albums are still so popular?
Taylor: That’s such a difficult question to answer, there were so many great bands that didn’t last the way we have. We definitely put our hearts into what we did back then. It was beautifully crafted; Freddie and Brian were always utter perfectionists.
May: We were also very competitive at the beginning, and that contributed to our high standards. Being so critical of each other definitely helped to raise the bar. We could all be self-indulgent, but between the four of us we managed to stop that.
Are the newspaper rumours true, is Lady Gaga going to join Queen?
Taylor: No. Even though she nicked the name [from Radio GaGa].
May: It’ll never happen.

Abu Dhabi preview - DRS to dial up electric Yas Marina
Posted at Formula1.com
Last year the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix saw Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel snatch the world championship crown from Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and his own team mate Mark Webber, but the dearth of overtaking played a key role in the final outcome. This year both the drivers' and constructors' titles are long settled, but the use of DRS could make for a much more exciting race...

Racing against the clock - 2011 pit stops analysed
Posted at Formula1.com
The combination of DRS and Pirelli tyres has made 2011 a bumper year for the sport, but not just in terms of on-track passing manoeuvres. The characteristics of the Pirelli tyres, designed to improve the racing, have also seen the total number of pit stops rise steeply - so far, there have been an average of 58 stops per race. Slick pit work has always been important in Formula One racing, but the frequency with which the pit crews have been in action this year has brought both speed and consistency to the fore. Mercedes explain more...

POSTGAME NOTEBOOK: Islanders 5, Capitals 3
By Mike Vogel - Senior Writer at WashingtonCaps.com
Caps Can’t KO DiPietro – Through the game’s first 20 minutes, Washington had the homestanding New York Islanders right where they wanted them. The Caps owned a 2-0 lead, Isles goaltender Rick DiPietro looked shaky to the point that the fans were chanting for back-up Al Montoya as the clock wound down in the first frame, and the offensively challenged Islanders were up to more than 100 minutes since they scored their last goal...
Review: All-star cast shines in 'Masterpiece' film 'Page Eight'
By Alan Sepinwall at What's Alan Watching? via HitFix.com
..."Page Eight" was written and directed by David Hare, who wrote the scripts for "The Reader" and "The Hours" but is a playwright by trade. And there's a very stage-like quality to the film, much of it consisting of Johnny sitting in conference rooms and drawing rooms discussing his life, his legacy and the current state of British intelligence with friends and colleagues, most of them played by a murderer's row of British (and/or Australian) character actors. In addition to Bill Nighy as Johnny, we have Michael Gambon as Benedict, Judy Davis as their colleague Jill, Rachel Weisz as Johnny's inquisitive neighbor Nancy, Ralph Fiennes as the British prime minister, Alice Krige as one of Johnny's many ex-wives and Felicity Jones as their estranged daughter...
Alice Cooper - Welcome 2 My Nightmare

As the first day in Spain is gravel, we do have a good start position, which hopefully will benefit us.
