 ## Full Circle: A Solid Foundation for a New Era 
  
 **Full Circle** marks a significant turning point in Doctor Who, 
 introducing a new companion, Adric, and setting the stage for 
 the E-Space trilogy. While it doesn't reach the heights 
 of some classic Who stories, it's a solid entry point for a new era. 
  
 * **Strong Concept:** The idea of a planet inhabited by descendants 
 of a crashed spaceship offers a unique and intriguing setting. 
  
 * **Character Development:** Adric's introduction is handled well, 
 establishing a dynamic with the Doctor that would be explored further 
 in subsequent stories. 
  
 * **Tom Baker's Charisma:** As always, Tom Baker shines as the Doctor, 
 bringing his trademark wit and eccentricity to the role. 
  
 However, the story does have its shortcomings: 
  
 * **Pacing Issues:** Some parts of the story feel rushed, while others drag, 
 leading to an uneven pacing. 
  
 * **Lack of Depth:** The Marshmen, while visually interesting, 
 are not fully developed as antagonists. 
  
 Overall, **Full Circle** is a decent story that lays the groundwork 
 for future adventures. It's a solid foundation for a new era of Doctor Who, 
 even if it doesn't quite reach the heights of the series' best. 
  
 **Rating:** 6.5 out of 10 
  
 Would you like to know more about specific aspects of the story, 
 such as the characters or the plot?
