      @kat At the time, a fair percentage of #DrWho fans were grateful to the Cybermen. What did you think of Kinda? http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Kinda_(TV_story)

         @mjd I liked Adric! At least they cut the soundtrack on the credits.

            @mjd After Adric died Nyssa's character started to seem quite wooden. Turlough is hardly likeable, and Tegan seems constantly annoyed.

               That's the script editor, Eric Saward. He didn't know what to do with Tardis scenes, so he had people bicker to pad out episodes. Davison did his best to play against it; it gets much worse once he leaves. #DrWho

               Producer JNT sincerely loved and believed in the show; he just didn't understand it, so was only really creatively involved in the staff christmas panto. The show lived or died on the merits of the script editor. #DrWho

               Christopher Bidmead was brilliant at overseeing Tom Baker's last series, and commissioning for Davison's first. Saward fluked a run of good stories in Davison's last, but after that it was pretty dire till Andrew Cartmel turned it round for McCoy's last two years, which were effectively New Who on a fraction of the budget. #DrWho

         @mjd kinda was a good episode. Nerys Hughes was great, also the dream sequences with the mara. :-)

            @kat Yes, Nerys Hughes was the brilliant companion we never got. Worked so well with Davison's Doctor. #DrWho
