Probably not many Classic Dr Who fans here but....

I think Adric (played by Matthew Waterhouse) being pilloried is a classic case of people's aversion to incels.



Lalla Ward's reaction seems typical:

Lalla Ward (Romana) is said to have disliked Matthew Waterhouse from the moment he started on the programme. Waterhouse himself remembers nothing but cordiality but looking back there do appear signs of aversion. In the DVD commentary for Warriors’ Gate

, when asked what it was like hiding under a blanket with Waterhouse, Ward replies, ‘I think it’s a question you shouldn’t ask because I’m likely to let off such a stream of invective that it will all be bleeped to the point where we’ll collapse.’

Likewise, in a documentary on the making of Full Circle, she says of Adric, ‘I think it would have been a wonderful idea if Adric could have, say, taken the plot over the edge of a cliff and never come back, but they didn’t see it that way, so he stuck, like a burr.’
