In the real world, it was Adric, or rather Matthew Waterhouse, who was sworn at, and generally treated like s**t by Tom Baker, most days, during his brief tenure.

A great way to leave the series though. Most people remember how Adric left. Tegan my fav had a crap send off. Peri's was the worse but could have been great if only JNT didn't get his way and Dodo just went to the country how bad is that. Gonna list the companions now and simply on a scale of 1 to 10 rate the way they left. 1 very bad 10 very good

Yes, but on the other hand even Matthew himself now admits that he was insufferably obnoxious at the time.

Loved the recent DVD commentary in which Lalla Ward refers to him as 'Matthew Waterlogged, or whatever his name was'...

I voted Someone Else, thinking of Dodo. She wasn't even there to say she was going to the country to recover!

Amy Pond - she's suffering the ongoing indignity of being featured in the Daily Heil...how cruel is that?

For me, the worst treated companion has to be Nyssa, purely because of how inconcievably calm she is around The Master during her various confrontations with him.

Let's think through what the Master did to Nyssa. First he possessed and killed her stepmother AND her father, then took the form of her dead father and tricked Nyssa into helping him with a plot which destroyed quite a lot of the unverse, including Nyssa's entire planet. And just to top it off, he killed the Fourth Doctor as well... and got away with all of this scot-free.

If I was Nyssa, by the time of Castrovalva (where she kidnaps and in her mind, possibly kills Adric) I would probably have gone beyond dirty looks...
