And from everything I know about Ms Sladen (not that much, I admit), I think
she'd rather enjoy the discussion. It is, in its own twisted way (highly
appropriate for this list, wouldn't you say? <g>), a celebration

of life, and hers in particular, rather than a focus on death. I think
Sarah Jane Smith would be both ever-so-slightly disapproving and amused
at the same time.

Funny how most of those have been male -- possibly because the female of

the species is what the DW Minis Game calls a "Screamer Companion". Rory

is an interesting example of the breed, being outwardly gormless but with a
core of steel if Amy is threatened. He nicely passes the Ace Test

after "The Big Bang" and shooting out the Stone Dalek's eye <g>.
