Baker-Who seemed more upset over Leela's leaving than any other of HIS companions, yes, but I'd say offhand--strike that, I've thought about this a bit: I'd say that Pertwee-Who's reaction to Jo Grant's marriage was much more upset, even to being teary. I always thought that the wonderful old goat had a romantic streak that ought to be brought out more. Rich -------

After all, he immediately put himself to work on K9 mk2. I'd say he was the most upset after departing from Romana. It was this departure that set the tone for "Logopolis". To be fair, I have not yet seen the Jo Grant departure (ask me in a few weeks). I don't think, however, that we should forget Nyssa's departure and Adric's final sacrifice (from the Davison era). -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.

He never added anything to ANY story, apart from his last one. His *explosive* death was was a fitting end.

I don't think, however, that we should forget Nyssa's departure and >Adric's final sacrifice (from the Davison era). Actually, the most touching departure of a companion that I've seen was when Susan remained on Earth with her freedom fighter in "The Dalek Invasion of Earth." Susan obviously loved her freedom fighter (whose name has slipped my memory), The Doctor realized that, went into the TARDIS with Ian and Barbara on a pretense, closed and locked the doors, explained to Susan why he did that, and left. Extremely touching. -- James C Armstrong, Jnr. { ihnp4 || allegra || mcnc || cbosgb } !abnji!jca Send a pound to Auntie Beeb before she slits her throat!
