I know I've been a bit neglectful of the blog lately, but things like this can't be passed over.
Liz Shaw, though a short-lived companion, was a particular favorite of mine. I loved her independent attitude, her brains, and her mentality of always needing to keep moving. If the Doctor was captured, she'd continue his work. If she was captured, she'd work out a plan of action instead of just waiting to be rescued. She was a strong woman with admirable abilities and it's a shame she's been so overshadowed by her two (still rather excellent) successors. Caroline, you will be missed.
RIP Caroline John
