        I remember watching that ep when it first ran. Sure, he was a bit irritating, but it sure was a shocker. Sad to see him go, as a hold over from the Baker final year. Very interesting ending (the silent televised one..)

            I initally thought my tv was messed up and turned the knob to max and of course got blown away when the PBS logo came on after the credits

                  Stop picking on Adric.
                  There were a lot more irritating people on Who.
                  How about Rose Tyler's mom, for example?

                    Oh, Rose Tyler's mom's FUNNY..!!!

                    I caught on quickly about how all these guys around town seemed to owed her all these favors.. Just the type of double-entredre that the kids probably wouldn't care about, but us guys are going 'Uhuh, OK, tell us about these favors...??'.

                    I didn't seriously think Adric was bad at all, either. Over the first Davison year, you could tell that script writers didn't quite know what to do with his character, but the actor himself is quite charming. The Davison Who DVD commentaries with all four (Davison and the 3companions..) are extremely funny to listen too ~ They all joke and rant on everything and each other, especially the '80s hairstyles in particular scenes.

                    They're priceless ~ Totally worth watching those DVDs for..!
                    Peace.. Through Superior Firepower.

                      I didn't mind Adric being brainy .... The worst thing I hated about him was him talking back and giving lip to the Doctor all the time.
                      He was lucky he had Davison.
                      Any other Doctor would have gave him a good slap right from the start.

                      Adric and Hartnell

                      Hartnell .... Boy, hm, hm ... get me the Sssspace Time Difference Converter..
                      Adric ... Doctor, it's not a Space Time Difference Converter ....
                      Adric ... It's a Space Time Difference Modulator ...
                      Hartnell .... SLAP !!!!!!!!!!!!

                          I dunno.... even as a kid I used to hate the kid "Identifier" characters. Adric bothered me 'cos he was really REALLY whiney. Although I guess that was his character (they made it clear in his first appearance that he was kind of a nerd) it got old quick. Zoe was another brainiac (aren't there any average or stupid kids in the sci-fi universe?) but she wasn't nearly as irritating.

                          >How about Rose Tyler's mom, for example?

                          Maybe. But she wasn't in every episode.

                            More annoying than Wesley? It is difficult to imagine . . .
