Day 550: Logopolis Part 1

There's a short lived relationship, for reasons that soon become apparent, between the Fourth Doctor and Adric that's quite interesting to watch. The Doctor takes Adric on as a student, almost, teaching him about how various concepts work and operate. An example is when he talks about entropy, quickly and elegantly describing the concept such that Adric can understand it. It works because Adric is naturally curious, seeking to discover more about the world of maths and science, at least when the current script editor, Christopher H Bidmead, is writing for him, and this extends to a certain proportion of the audience, allowing us to become the Doctor's students as well. But, as entropy states, everything decays, and things are going to change awfully soon.
