BIG FINISH'S DOCTOR WHO-THE BOY THAT TIME FORGOT




 ABOUT Big Finish's THE BOY TIME FORGOT: the all time worst betrayal committed on fans and the worst of all time BIG FINISH production ever foisted upon us. First, we get the exciting idea that Adric might be saved (despite the equally dismal SPARE PARTS nonsense that he can't be; he already was saved in the FASA Cybermen AND Master role playing books).

Second, Adric is an old man, played by someone who once played an old Time Lord in I think ARC OF INFINITY. And old man bent on revenge against the Doctor in semi Masterful ways. He also is cruel and vicious unlike Adric on TV and everywhere else. He wants to rape Nyssa and tries. He pushes the Doctor down a pit of mutated failed experiments of his.
THEN, to make matters worse, cliche wise and narrative wise, this old man Adric decides to help the Doctor and Nyssa and dies ONCE again. THEN, he's a ghost or something.
THEN, later, years later, they make another ADRIC story with Matthew where Adric returns as a ghost again or something. And vanishes again.
Shame on everyone involved in this from Davison (whose fault it was Adric had to die) to Magrs who wrote this trash to director Barnaby Edwards to Nick Briggs for allowing this, to producer Dave Richardson.
This is even worse than the worst of the worst ZAGREUS.
I HATE this story, THE BOY TIME FORGOT should be forgotten by all. BF should rectify this with a solid story about how Adric was saved but not by this coward of a Doctor.
This story is disrespectful to Matthew Waterhouse and the character of Adric and those who wrote well for him like Chris Bidmead and Johnny Bryne. Shame on all the ones who went into approving this trash.
Nick Briggs once apologized about this, saying it should never have been commissioned and he was sorry it was made, then he backtracked when Magrs called him out on that! On that!
