Adric and K-9 (Doctor Who)
If you think Catherine Tate's annoying, you clearly don't know Adric. Bowl haircut? Check. Gauche alien mannerisms? Check. Maths genius? Check. Adric, played by Matthew Waterhouse, was picked up by the Doctor in the alternative universe E-Space.
For some of his time on the show, Adric shared the TARDIS with K-9. K-9 was a robot dog, and no matter what your misty-eyed dad says, he was rubbish. If you're going to make a robot dog, at least make one that can get around. Muffett could get around -- that's how he ran off all the time.
Admittedly, it was quite sad when Adric got blown up. He was attempting to crack the logic puzzle codes that had locked a spaceship on collision course with prehistoric Earth, but when a curmudgeonly Cyberman stopped him, his last words were, "Now I'll never know if I was right." Smug git -- the dinosaurs probably weren't too chuffed either.
