 Why did Adric have to die ?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)

 Doctor Who And The Cake Of Finality by nostalgia
Adric was doing maths for fun when the Doctor walked in, largely.

 Doctor Who — Article: A Bit of Adric in All of Us
Why Adric is almost universally panned has always confounded me. With the exception of that, er, slight misjudgment of character in Four To Doomsday, he presented an intelligent and amusing companion, whose youth and naïveté was well utilised for both comedic and dramatic effect.
Of course, that selective memory does not recall that Adric had been trying to stop Tegan from attempting to use the TARDIS (a foolish action at best, more likely suicidal), or that, when the Doctor was threatened, how his true loyalty showed through, using words to stop Monarch and, later, action to destroy Enlightenment.
And so Adric the homeless youth died, holding the marsh-reed belt of his brother, the badge of the Outlers.
