Four and Adric would mean less of Four with his better companions. I'd mich rather have more Romana and Leela than Adric. To be fair, there's been three seasons of Leela as companion (a fourth hinted for 2017), one of Romana I and the next two are with Romana II. There's lots of untapped potential for at least one story with Adric as companion. Leela: 22 (potentially 8 more come 2017) 4DAs, plus two five hour box sets, one subscriber special and the 50th anniversary special. Four Companion Chronicles. Romana I: 7 4DAs. Two Companion Chronicles. Romana II: 16 4DAs, plus the novel adaptations. Three Companion Chronicles plus one Destiny of the Doctor. Adric: 2 CCs, 1 DotD and 1 four hour box set

Adric: 2 CCs, 1 DotD and 1 four hour box set By the time Romana's two seasons are over, it will be have been at least two years since we've had any Four and Leela. I wouldn't mind a season in E-space that has Romana and Adric, but I don't see why they would do stories with just Adric, when there are two good companions (three if you count K9) who are available.

I can see Big Finish doing a series of Four and Adric, he's as part of the show's experience to a prospective customer as any. The problem is selling such a series to a wider audience of Fourth Doctor customers.

He's over here several times a year though. He's game.

Because different people like different things, and it's not a set fact that Adric isn't good. Or indeed that Leela and Romana are.
Personally, though, I like all three. I'm nice like that.

I can't help but wonder if they factored into the relativily early demise of Andrew Cunningham.

But you're right that he's a big supporter of BF Day and enjoys the day a lot. I don't think he's ever come over especially for BFD, he was always already going to be here, though I do remember one year where 10th Planet said 'well since you'll be over in January can you make sure your dates include the BFD date?' IIRC he's done one BFD as a BF guest, one as a 10th Planet guest, and then - since it turned out he'd be in the country - he offered to come along to the last one to spend the day with the Dark Shadows gang and help promote the range. To be honest, I've raised the notion to 10th Planet that we get him along to the next one as well and do a Full Circle photoshoot... since there are already three Full Circle guests there.

I can't help but wonder if they factored into the relativily early demise of Andrew Cunningham. He's usually around for a few weeks. He normally spends a few days in recording studios and does a couple of events. He might even get some personal time too. With regard to your spoiler point, I don't remember that being raised as a consideration - no.

He's back in the next 5th doctor trilogy according to the bf podcast Sounds marvellous, they've been able to work wonders with reforming the character over Psychodrome and Iterations of I. I look forward to whatever they've got planned next.

If it's anywhere near the quality of the box set we are in for a treat. Well done BF more good news. P.s. from the sound of Janet's tweets the gang were on form in the studio!

I just hope Matthew stops trying to force his younger voice. As much as I love the 5th Doctor boxset, it was a little jarring.

Sounds like a number of people got their oft-expressed wish.
I, too, hope that he just used his normal voice. It sounded too forced in the box set.
