80 Days left and while I am glad to be closer to our goal, today also marked the loss of Elisabeth Sladen better known as Sarah Jane Smith. What a great loss to the Who-verse. I must admit I have yet to watch the old Doctor Who episodes when she was companion but I have seen her in the more recent episodes as well as select "Sarah jane Adventures" episodes. While this is certainly not the blow to me that it is to long-time fans of her work I did think she was a lovely a vibrant actress and I will miss her contribution to the fandom I am so fond of.  If you have anything to share about her please feel free to post below or join us on @BarrowmanDay where instead of Barrowman Day this week we are having Sarah Jane Day. Just fans getting together and posting lovely thoughts, videos and photos. That will be all day. John actually came online today and tweeted his thoughts about the loss. It was very hard to read that he was taking it so hard so in case you missed it here's what he said:

@Team_Barrowman  Elisabeth Sladen Matriarch of Dr Who I loved my time on the Tardis with her I am proud to have worked with such an icon of the sci fi world

@Team_Barrowman your Dr Who family are very sad and will miss you and your beautiful smile. jb

@Team_Barrowman RTD called me this morning when I woke up. jb

@Team_Barrowman She lived in my Flat in Cardiff when she was filming SJA she was a delight.

@Team_Barrowman Cant tell u how sad I am..

@Team_Barrowman wanted to let you know I got the news as a lot of you were concerned I'm off to chill I hope u understand. Will tweet this weekend in PS. jb

I think a lot of fans really appreciated John coming on and being so candid. It broke my heart to see

But that's not why we're actually here. I  owe you a Torchwood countdown blog and as it's Tuesday I'll be posting the various videos, articles and photos I have found for the week. Honestly I haven't run into much this week but here's what I have found.

This is a short interview with JB, JG & BP from French site

94 days left and the last few days have been ALL ABOUT TORCHWOOD. Thanks to John Barrowman and Bill Pullman appearing at MIPTV in Cannes everyone is talking about Torchwood. I keep finding news stories, interviews and pictures of the guys. It's a whole heck of a lot to keep up with!

That being the case I thought today instead of a normal chatty blog I could give you various links to pictures, videos and articles to come out of this weekend. Hope that sounds ok. I'm thinking since we have 100 blogs to get through, well 93 now, it would be cool if once a week I just post a sort of round-up like this. I'll probably do that on Tuesdays since I am generally up to my elbows in BarrowmanDay prep by then. To be clear, as always, we're not claiming any ownership of the content.

Here's this weeks offerings (videos posted below blog):
