I decided to do one of those rambling commentary things for Full Circle. It's in Tom Baker's last season, with Romana and K-9, and Adric's first story.
Episode one:
There are all these kids wearing yellowish clothes and hiding out by a river. Adric's people, presumably.
Oh, yep, they are. And there's the little guy himself.
Aw, all the kids are making fun of him for being smart. Even his older brother. Poor guy.
Some older guys cutting open a watermelon-looking fruit, then saying "It's nearly time". Ooh, ominious.
Romana and the Doctor are confused now. Apparently the coordinates show them to be at Gallifrey, and, well, this isn't Gallifrey.
Some older guy says it's time for mistfall. Everyone else is really scared and goes and hides in a spaceship thing.
Adric sticks up for himself and shows more guts than any of the older kids. Go him!
Oh no, Adric, run! Run!
The guy chasing Adric falls into the river and then gets sucked in. Ooh, creepy.
Haha, I love Adric's reaction when he goes inside the TARDIS. "Where'd the blue box go? From the outside, this looked like a blue box!"
And now K-9 and the Doctor decide to go exploring.
And Adric gives Romana the slip. And shows himself to have amazing healing powers.
Back to K-9 and the Doctor. And man, that is one creepy cliffhanger...
Episode 2:
Ooh, zombie swamp creatures.
Oh man, Adric, can't you keep your mouth shut around those idiots? The girl's the only decent one of the group.
Oh man, I knew those boys were up to no good. They're holding Romana at knifepoint.
Ooh, Adric wrestles the leader to the ground and knocks the knife out of his hand.
And the Doctor goes exploring again. And leaves the door to the super-secret fortress place open. Good going, Doctor.
Grumpy-looking guy gives a boring speech. Says that they were originally from another planet. He wants to get the spaceship working again? Haha, good luck. These guys look pretty primitive.
Oh no, someone's gotten in through the door the Doctor left open.
Meanwhile, Romana and the kids look outside. Hmm, scary swamp creatures. Maybe staying inside is a good idea.
And the Doctor's nosing about again. Just pops up in a group of people and unwittingly tells them he left the entrance open. And...oh no, they've hit him over the head.
Poor swamp creature. It sounds so scared.
Ooh, scary swamp creatures are scary.
Go K-9!
D: They knocked off K-9's head!
Whoa, the three golden guys questioning the Doctor are like the epitome of cheesiness.
Adric and Romana are smart. They get ready to take off in the TARDIS.
But wait, the swamp creatures are leaving! Let's go out and see what scared them!
Um, wow. Now THAT is some pretty creepy stuff. Spider melons?
Those idiot kids locked Romana out again. For heaven's sake, Adric, stand up to them for once!
Ooh, cliffhanger.
