| Caroline John and Jon Pertwee |
Fans of the classic Doctor Who may remember Caroline John, the actress who played Liz Shaw, one of the classic Doctor Who companions since the Jon Pertwee years. It's sad to say that this memorable actress who became The Doctor's companion in the past has passed away.
"Caroline was a brilliant actress and in her role as Liz Shaw, a tremendous co-star for Jon Pertwee in his first year as the Doctor. She was not just a sidekick but a scientist in her own right and a match for the universe's number one know-all. The Doctor's companions should never be his assistants - they're the people who keep him on his toes, and that's what Caroline did. From everyone at the show, our thoughts go out to Caroline’s family." said Steven Moffat, the lead writer and Executive Producer of Doctor Who.
R.I.P. Caroline John, 1940 – 2012.
She'll be joining the ranks of other deceased personalities who are greatly involved in Doctor Who, especially Elisabeth Sladen who died last year but still one of the all time Doctor Who greats.
