Amongst fellow viewers when I was in Australia, Adric was almost
universally disliked with the exception of one couple who named their child
Adric!!!
Teegan in the first few stories was particularly painful because of her
dreadful 'australian' accent. We don't all speak like that! On the other
hand I enjoyed her asides about Brisbane which is way up there on my list
of places I would most like to see annihilated.
BTW, annihilate was one the catch phrases of the Daleks in the Hartnell
series. There is a record condensed from the soundtrack of the last few
episodes of The Chase. It consists largely of groups of Daleks screaming
'Exterminate, Annihilate, Eliminate...'
Re changes of the doctor: I guess one always remembers distant episodes
more fondly and forget their shortcomings. Every time the doctor has
changed I have thought the new one is not as good, I prefer the old one
etc. But they tend to grow on you. It helps to see the actual regeneration
story too.
Ok, trivia fans out there...
Trivia question #1: what companion posed for a nude spread with a Dalek!
Trivia question #2: the opening credit and music have remained constant in
them (if not detail) for the entire series...what music opened the very
first episode of Doctor Who?
