On YouTube i found this tribute to Liz Shaw after I found out about it on another website (that's dedicated to the manga and anime Detective Conan). I hope you like it.
BBC's "Doctor Who" Website has put up a collection of 12 pictures from Caroline John's time as Liz Shaw on "Doctor Who". They encompass her episodes "Spearhead From Space", "The Silurians", "The Ambassadors of Death" and "Inferno".
I hope you enjoy them:

NOTE: One of the pictures has Nicholas Courtney without his trademark mustache of the Brigadier so be on the lookout for that.
