  I was a humble visual effects assistant on some of this series. Abiding memories: it's true Peter Davidson was an easy going bloke, and spectacularly popular with the make up department! And drove a red Audi Quattro, which to my shame I envied. The vegetation in the Kinda studio absolutely stank! Poor Janet Fielding thought she had legs like bottles. In reality she was very attractive. Also, what punters don't appreciate is that Dr Who was used as a punishment for recalcitrant staff, or as practice for newbies, like me. Happy memories, though.

  ‘Adric Tales’ is quite possibly the best use of that character ever. Well done.

  My favorite was Teagan knowing Pharos was ancient Greek for lighthouse. Yeah ok

  Although my age suggests Baker the first should be my Doctor, it was Davidsons run that I really grew to love the show. Also Nyssa was my teenage crush. And whilst we all hated Adric even then, that silent credits roll is a piece of TV history that has stuck with me till today, you simply didn't expect it.

  As I understand it, Adric's hologram in "Time-Flight" was included so that the listing in Radio Times would include Waterhouse in the cast, keeping the twist of Adric's death in "Earthshock" a secret.

  Using Adric's death for humor seems to be helping give people catharsis!

  5th was always my favorite doctor of the classic era, more approachable but you can still tell he’s a Time Lord with hundreds of years under his belt.<br><br>Also enjoyed his companions too, even Adric, who I honestly feel people are way too unfair to.

  Ah Richard Todd; survived D Day and the defence of Pegasus Bridge, rewarded with a co-starring role opposite Nerys Hughes. As if it wasn&apos;t bad enough that he lost his dog because he daren&apos;t call out its name in public.

  Been binge-watching your Who synopses today, enjoying the comedic asides the whole while. But &quot;Dutch artist and rapper M.C. Escher&quot; made me laugh a lot more than it should have.
