When Adric first started travelling in the TARDIS, he was dazzled by the Fourth Doctor. “He’s this 15-year-old boy who flees from his planet to follow Doctor Who, so he sort of hero-worships him,” says Matthew Waterhouse, who played the role, “and stories like [1981’s] The Keeper of Traken, of course, make that pretty clear – every time the Doctor does something, the boy mimics it, so there is that hero-worship element.”
