Overview[]
Biography[]
The First Doctor stole a Type 40/Mark I TARDIS and along with his granddaughter, Susan Foreman, journeyed to Earth to the year 1963 where they took up temporary residence at the I.M. Foreman Junkyard at 76 Totter's Lane in Shoreditch, London, England. Susan became a student at the Coal Hill School. Two of Susan's teachers, Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton found her to be quite a peculiar child and followed her home where they found the TARDIS. The Doctor tried to force them to leave, but their determination to unlock the secret behind Susan prompted them to enter the TARDIS. Once inside, Susan told them the truth about the Doctor and she. In order to keep their existence a secret, the Doctor felt he had little recourse but to keep Barbara and Ian aboard the TARDIS where they became his first human traveling companions. [1]
