Doctor Who star Elisabeth Sladen’s daughter dresses up as Sarah Jane for Halloween

She captioned the images: "What do you mean you don’t dress up as your own mum for Halloween? Amateurs!"

The costume went down a storm with her followers, with one writing: "This is just bloody Perfect!!!" and another adding: "I know it's not a competition but I think you have just won Halloween."

In recent years, Miller has voiced Sarah Jane in a number of audio adventures for Big Finish, including Return of the Cybermen alongside Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor and The Third Doctor Adventures with Tim Treloar as the Third Doctor.

Sladen had originally starred as Sarah Jane in the classic series from 1973 to 1976 – appearing alongside Jon Pertwee and then Baker – before she returned for episodes of the revived series in 2006.

A year later, she was given her own spin-off series, The Sarah Jane Adventures, which ran for four years and 53 episodes on CBBC.

She died in 2011 at the age of 65 from pancreatic cancer.

Recently, Doctor Who writer Toby Whithouse exclusively told RadioTimes.com how it had been a "privilege" to write for Sladen on the New Who episode School Reunion.

"I'm trying to remember kind of where I was in my career, I think that she was, in a way, the most iconic actor, performer, I think I'd ever written for at that point," he said.
