Enter Adric!
The Doctor and Romana are sucked into E-Space en route to Gallifrey and hilarity ensues. Actually it is the beginning of the end for Romana, at least. The Time Lords have summoned her home but she seems less than excited. Conveniently the TARDIS takes them on a detour.
Full Circle is somewhat of a return to classic Doctor Who with Marshmen emerging from the water (ala Sea Devils), giant spiders emerging from coconuts shells (ala Planet of the Spiders), and a backwards community of people (ala Face of Evil reversed). It's actually a good story and holds up well after all these years.
Then of course there is Adric. For his debut story, he's hits all the typical Adric points and says all the Adric things in his special Adric way. You can tell immediately that Romana has no patience for him and annoys her. Of course Adric's bother is quite cute and would have been a better companion. For good or bad, let the era of Adric begin!
