Sladen stayed on ''Doctor Who'' from the start of [[Season 11]] to midway through [[Season 14]]. She worked with Pertwee as the Third Doctor and [[Tom Baker]] as the [[Fourth Doctor]], receiving popular and critical acclaim. When she left the series in [[1976]], it made front page news - previously only a change of Doctors had received such attention. Bob Baker and Dave Martin intentionally left Sarah's departure scene in ''[[The Hand of Fear]]'' unwritten; Sladen and Tom Baker co-wrote it themselves. She later returned for ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', and then at [[Russell T Davies]]' behest for ''[[School Reunion (TV story)|School Reunion]]''. This then led to her headlining her own [[CBBC]] series for five years.}} | ||
