Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sladen was the only classic companion to headline her own spin-off — twice, if you count the failed 1981 pilot 'K9 and Company'.
The documentary reveals Sladen turned down multiple returns to Doctor Who in the 80s and 90s, waiting until the role felt right rather than desperate — a power move rare for actresses in genre roles.
