Doctor Who- The 80's Companions

[XxLi3rose123xX]

Just wondering, the episode when Adric is on top of the tardis. What ep is that from? :D

[XxLi3rose123xX]

I miss Adric, Nyssa and Turlough :'(

0:49....who is that? beautiful!

[luacwick99]

@b5904 That's Peri, played by Nicola Bryant

[lovelyl1976]

You forgot a very important one of the Doctors companions.... K9 II, he left with Roman II.

[pufferfishish]

@marcsharp82 lol, fair enough, he did have a strange habit of always having his hands in his pockets as if he didn't care whether he was in the show or not.

That said, who says he would have to be played by Matthew Waterhouse?

[rbobinsky]

Never realized this before, but isn't amazing how similar Romana and Rose are in physical appearance...???

[danacartersgx]

Yes, you're right! Both of them are... blond! XD

[LaraElSupergirl]

@rbobinsky ...no they're not... Rose has an oval-shaped face. Romana (II, anyway) has a heart-shaped face. Rose has hazel eyes. Romana has gray eyes. Rose has a permanent duck-face, Romana has cupids-bow lips. Rose has an upturned nose, Romana has a button nose. The only similarities, really, are that they're both white and blonde.

[mightyd76]

It's a wild idea but imagine a series of Romana's adventures, flying about in her own TARDIS? In the show, she was left in E-Space and may well have survived the Time Wars. She was awesome.

i agree Romana coming back would be a welcome storyline too for the next Doctor/Matt Smith. i hope the current writers will tackle some these ideas for the series can't wait for the series too resume already.

[farmgent]

is that Ricky Hatton at 1:27?  Just Kidding!

[1gallifrey1]

I liked Adric the best! there was/ is something about him that pulls your attention onto him. ( that's what i think).

[MsipmsonW]

My favorites are:

Adric

Tegan

Nyssa

Romana

Peri

& Ace

I hope they come out as action figures. That would be great.

[dwswh]

thought Nyssa was best suited to the 5th doctor, she was really good and intelligent, maybe not as much as Romana but still i think that she was one of the best.

[dbwokc]

Loved Romona #2 and Nyssa. i thoguht they were such babes!

[adriciscute3]

Bring back ADRIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slavemale2]

0:47 hubba, and indeed hubba

[mancojim]

what year did sarah jane leave?

[luacwick99]

She left in the 1976 story Hand of Fear.

[ticket2]

Adric's character was not developed as it should have been the writers back then saw youths as a nuisance. Adric's need to know everything could've lead too so much more, Adric was not in owe of the Doctor, which annoyed Davidson's Doctor Who. Adric knew the Doctor was hiding things from his companions and not necessarily for their own good. Like any Lord, The Doctor is selfish about his knwowledge and that annoyed Adric to the very end. There are several ways to bring him back it'd be Fantastic

[ticket2]

Adric was one of the best they should bring him back

[mydoctorwho2008]

I hate to tell you but Adric was blown up in episode four of Peter Davisons "Earthshock".

[ticket2]

i hate to tell you but if anyone who writes for scifi series cannot figure out a way too bring back Adric then they need to change professions if i were asked too i can write several different storylines that would be plausible in resurrecting Adric's character

[derantike2]

I don't think it should be done.

Adrics death was what elveated him from mediocrity. By reversing that you would reverse all the impact that death had.

Idiot.

[ticket2]

Your entitled to your opinion and i'm NO idiot. only someone immature and unimaginative would stoop so low as to call someone they don't know a idiot for expressing a idea different from their owns. For a fan of Dr. Who a character that is based on imagination fairness and freedom of expression you truly have no concept for what you've been viewing in regards to this show and it's lead character. Adric's return would open up a great storyline it can be done and it's time it was done.

[derantike2]

Sorry. I get your view even if I don't agree.

[pufferfishish]

Like any death not actually shown on screen, it is up for speculation that he actually died. It is entirely feasible that he could be brought back.

[icecube280000]

The Boy That Time Forgot is a Big Finish audio drama set 500 years after Adric "died" (in fact he didn't)

[ticket2]

Brillant thanks for info! I will see if it's available in my country. Again updated storyline would take a fresh take on a old character.

I hate some of the hateful things i've heard and read about some of the fans being so hard on Matthew. When he came into the series it was near Tom's ladder years and Tom knew it. He said in interviews that he was unfair to Matthew from the beginning. The writers changed his character from a rogue adventurer to a whinny kid brother to Peter's Doctor.

[TiberianSiger]

Nicely done !

[luacwick99]

thank you
