I vividly remember Adric dying even though I was only 6 at the time, it was a very traumatic moment for me LOL I think he was one of my very first TV crushes!! The Doctor needs another Adric :)
Adric was a very underrated companion, I think. Even so, his tragic death was one of the most poignant moments of the classic series and further cemented the TARDIS crew of that time as a family, a family who had lost one of their own
@KangiTanka1 Adric's demsie aboard the Spaceship was, more dramatic and more poignant in billions of ways than Gan's demise in Pressure Point and also Adric was a much stronger character than Gan.
I heard they had a audio story where Adric saved himself using block transfer computation.
Where he was an old man who lived for a very long time, thanks to BTC.
That would probably make a good new series episode where the 11th Doctor meets a "powerful", BTC, old man in prehistoric earth who wants revenge on him and he later learns is someone he knows.
You know what they should do? They should just imply that The Doctor already saved him, they could make an episode that shows The Doctor's to-do list and have one of the crossed out items say 'save adric'
Oh, this is really good. Not a bad trailer, especially considering a lot of the clips came from different eras. I would love to see Adric brought back and this is a good idea for it.
I would love to see Adric back, as well. It would be interesting for the Doctor to have a guy companion for a while. They are still pretty rare. Although if the Dr saved him at that moment, they couldn't bring Waterhouse back, because Adric would still be a youth, so I like the idea that someone else saved him and taught him to hate the Dr, who would feel guilty for leaving him and have a hard time fighting back. Although, I'd still like to see them join forces after a bit of a row.
doctor who with the 11 doctor as an enemy because the doctor did not save him when the old cybermen were there and tring to destroy the doctor it would be good to see him back.
There is a doctor who audio, by big finish called 'the boy the time forgot' where Adric returns, Andrew (Manuel) Sachs voices a much older Adric who's after revenge on the doctor
i too hope they bring back Adric in new series of the Doctor in 2010. Adric could become a dramatic storyline that the Doctor feels as much regret for not saving Adric as he did not save his own people in the Time Wars. Or Adric could be a new enemy of the Doctors bitter as hell for how the Doctor left him behind.
@sny625 We al know that Matthew Waterhouse is too old and now lives in America but I know a Canadian actor named Ted Knight who looks alot like Matthew and would make a good Adric. I am also writing and Episode where Captain Jack rescues Adric.
In the end I decided to hold out for State of Decay - which is Adric's best story with Tom Baker, Romana 2, K9 and vampires, Planet of Fire with Turlough, Peri and Kamelion and Time Flight with Nyssa and Tegan. Episodes of good acting were pretty sporadic in some periods.
Good job. I liked Adric. I wasn't that old when I saw his death and thought it must be a mistake they could fix somehow. Apparently at some point in the sixties Doctor No 2 had two men and one woman as companions and they're reputed to be some of the best (lost) episodes. What do you all think the best Adric Nyssa Tegan story was?
The first two Doctors weren't men of action,so a male,female companion wasa good idea.I like Adric,Nyssa and Tegan but the writers struggled to write for all three,Nyssa was written out of Kinda by being unwell.
If anyone should not be back it's Rose. I liked Adric. As soon as the TARDIS had 4 people in it (including the Doctor) the writing got very poor for him. Nyssa was not supposed to be a permanent character, and they should have gotten rid of her like had planned
no... it would not matter if adric lived or died, because the ship was already heading too earth, tegans tells this to the doctor but he refuses to do anything.
Adric was written wrong then - there are so many great reasons to bring him back. Time for new villain Adric knew the Doctor like no other companion. He knew the Doctor was hiding many things and not necessarily to protect his companions. Beings of great power hate to share knowledge and that drove Adric to be annoying he was super smart and the Doctor knew it. Imagine a being able to travel in time and not breaking that rule to comeback and save you, if you survived somehow you'd hate him.
I agree! The person who posted this evidently has a warped imagination and far, far too much time at their disposal. Adric is possibly the worst ever companion to appear in Doctor Who.
The master took over Nyssa's father's body in "keeper of Traken" circa 1980 series and pretended to be her father for an episode or so, her father was a single parent who married a crazy woman who aided the Master unknowingly.
Dear god yes!!!!! Adric is the second best companion of the classic series (second only to the mighty Ace). It would b so cool to see him alive, but that would bring up too many plotholes and paradoxes.
And as for those who say that Adric was the worst companion ever, I have one word for you.
NOOOOOOO! Adric, IMHO was the ABSOLUTE WORST assistant EVER. He was always doing things against the Doctor's better judgement and getting them into trouble. I know it's a fan trailer, good job on that, but ugh, the thought of it!
Nyssa was the worst companion EVER she was utterly useless whiny little gal who was only on the show because Peter liked her personally Adric character was changed after Tom Baker left and Peter regenerated into the part of the Doctor Adric was suppose to be like the Doctor when he was a youth unfortunately they didn't continue writing it that way actor Matthew Waterhouse deserves to come back in new series guest shot like
i know! he is one of my fav comaptions! but nyssa was good.. she aws good with a gun =) but they should bring him back! like he dident crash and he was sent to the futer or somthing!
And Adric should be allowed to come back to the current Who series. Just as he had left the escape pod at the very last second (dammit!), perhaps he could have found a way to restore the control device and enter in the last code. It wouldn't be possible to show the Doctor repairing the TARDIS console in time to save Adric because the viewers' perspective is from inside the TARDIS. We don't really know for sure if Adric was still on board.
Just wondering, sorry, what's the name of the song? I have it on my iTunes somewhere, I've heard it a dozen times. But got so many tracks, I don't know what the name of it is to search for it..
I love the concept. For years I saw the episode showing in Canada, I kept hoping and wishing they'd bring back the character - in one form or another.
I've been wishing they'd bring back Adric since I was 12--always hated how he "left the show"--with as deep and real as his character had become, he deserved better....
Since we never actually saw Adric die (did we see him blow up? No, we saw the space station blow up). So therefore, Adric is not dead until we see his remains and as we have never seen his remains, one can only speculate that help came for him at the last moment.
Haha, do you know any time travelers who would be willing to go back in time to save him? Because obviously the ship blew up thousands if not millions of years ago. Of course, if they were able to save the camera crew... ;)
heh, yes, well, the thing is, Doctor Who is a tellevision show, so my theory is, if we can garner enough support, we can force RTD to bring back the charictor, that sweet little nerd that looked so awkward danceing with Nyssa in Black Orcid... *sigh*
Thanks! You totally made my day! I'm glad you liked it cause I thought it would be awful since there was something I was trying to add that didn't work.

Part of the reason the three companion worked earlier is because Ian or Steven took most of the action sequences because Hartnell was much older.
