Classic Who: Full Circle

[neuralclone]

 For nearly a year I've been watching all the classic Tom Baker serials, one episode at a time.  I'm in the home stretch right now: last night I started watching "Full Circle".  It has been such a long time since I last watched the E-Space Trilogy that I can't remember much of it (except, Space Vampires!) so it's almost like watching something new.  

I haven't much to say about "Full Circle" at the point except: Adric!  Poor nerdy boy-genius with a star for mathematical excellence who became the most hated Doctor Who companion, ever.  Though personally I think  Perpugilliam Brown gave him a run for his money.

John Nathan Turner: the era of terrible Doctor Who companions.

I never hated Adric anywhere near the way I hated Peri. I could kind relate to Adric, having been a nerdy and largely unliked kid myself, and he wasn't doing a fake accent that hurt me to the very depths of my American-born soul. :)

I've always been fond of "Full Circle," too. although it's been long enough since I've seen it that I'm not sure I could tell you all the reasons why.

Adric was annoying: Peri was like listening to nails dragged down a blackboard.

(And yes, even to an Australian that accent was awful!)
