Daniel Anthony and Anjli Mohindra, stars of The Sarah Jane Adventures<\/a>, have shared their favourite memories of the late, great Elisabeth Sladen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sladen, who played the iconic Sarah Jane Smith in Doctor Who<\/a>, and then in her own spin-off, died in 2011, with fans and cast members often remembering her huge impact.<\/p>\n

As they reunite for the new Big Finish story Rani Takes on the World, Anthony, who played Clyde, and Mohindra, who played Rani, have recalled Sladen\u2019s \u201ccheeky\u201d sense of humour and the memories of her that will always make them smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have got one that springs to mind,\u201d Mohindra recalled.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe were doing a scene in the Figaro, which is a notoriously small car and all four of us where in there. I think Lis and Tommy were up front and you and me were in the back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll never know but somebody blew off, don\u2019t know who it was, and we just laughed hysterically for ages and we just managed to calm ourselves down and then Lis laughed again and snorted so loudly and then we all were literally in hysterics for the rest of the afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anthony added: \u201cThere was just a lot of laughter all the time with Lissie. When we used to get gooed, we\u2019d be in fits of hysterics and Lissie would be the main instigator in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-jinkx-monsoon-role-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Doctor Who star Jinkx Monsoon reveals what led to role in season 14<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/david-tennant-bernard-cribbins-tv-performance-doctor-who-newsupdate\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">David Tennant: Bernard Cribbins\u2019s last TV performance will be Doctor Who<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sladen first appeared in Doctor Who in 1973, leaving as a regular cast member in 1976 but often reprising her role in decades to come.<\/p>\n<p>She was so well-loved that when Russell T Davies rebooted Doctor Who, he created a spin-off based around her character, The Sarah Jane Adventures.<\/p>\n<p>Sladen starred alongside a young cast including Tommy Knight (Luke), Anthony, and Mohindra.<\/p> <p dir=\""auto"\"><strong>Doctor Who is available to stream on\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episodes\/b006q2x0\/doctor-who"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">BBC iPlayer<\/a>\u00a0with episodes of the classic series also available on BritBox \u2013 you can sign up for a\u00a0<a title=\""https:\/\/watch.britbox.co.uk\/"\" href=\"\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?id=489797&clickref=radiotimes-0&awinmid=33021&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwatch.britbox.co.uk%2F"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""sponsored" noopener noreferrer\">7-day free trial here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0coverage and visit our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a title=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/"\" href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\""https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/&source=gmail&ust=1667900325374000&usg=AOvVaw1G2c7_FAYz3431qFxW1wHd"\">Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013 <\/strong><a title=\""http:\/\/radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription?utm_term=evergreen-article"\" href=\"\/\/radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription?utm_term=evergreen-article"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\"><strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a><strong>.
