Are the BBC total idiots?

I really can't imagine how they think this is a good idea, since it totally ruins something pretty important from an earlier season.

You know, I was just thinking that they'd run into Adric and possibly Romana again.

That's the problem with accessible parallel universes. If there are an infinite number of universes where Adric lived, and others where the Doctor failed each episode, why should we care about the version we saw?
(Real life might have infinite parallel universes too, but since we can only perceive one, there's a reason to care about it, even if in theory an infinite number of alternate us might be caring about their own different version.)
