Sladen praises Letts for 'Sarah Jane' appeal

Speaking to Wired about the popular companion, who first appeared in the time-travelling show in 1973, Sladen said: "I sometimes think, 'If I knew what made Sarah Jane so popular, I'd bottle it'. I love her as a character, and I credit Barry for instilling something special in the character. He is a true gentle and honorable man and has such a wonderful take on life. I took some of that influence for Sarah."
Sladen, currently appearing in spinoff show The Sarah Jane Adventures on BBC One, added that she has drawn from her own experiences to play the role: "You also scavenge some of what you are as well. But, I wish I was more like her."
