So, Adric, he was my childhood crush. I had never watched Classic Who when I was younger, but I made myself memories the companions. And Adric was closest to my age, though I was a lot younger, and I adored him. I look at him now, and feel nostalgia.
Watching Season 19 felt like a countdown, obviously I know what happens to Adric, I had never watched it before, but I knew when it was. And boy was it heartbreaking!
I love it when Classic Who Doctor's have male companions, there's something about it, like a bond between them which is always nice to watch.
