"As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves."- First Doctor.
The Doctor fools Nero.
The first of many brilliant Doctor scenes in this serial.
The Doctor tries to mime to the Zarbi that he doesn’t want them to go in the TARDIS. it’s like some rap of ‘My ship, not ya ship, my ship, not ya ship.’
Really love this pic, there’s not many colour pictures of Hartnell, especially where you get to see his entire main costume.
Thanks for creating some truly wonderful sets and creating the design of the Daleks. A great man.
Couldn’t resist the little idiot and his cardigan shenanigans!
You’re the ONE that I want. “During all the years I’ve been taking care of you, you in return have been taking care of me….not any longer Susan, you are still my grandchild and always will be, but now…you are a woman too.”
Pairing: The Doctor, and Susan.
Relationship: Grandfather and Granddaughter. Susan was with the Doctor when he left Gallifrey and they have a bond like no other. They clearly mean the universe to each other and want what’s best for the other. The Doctor’s main priority was always Susan and her safety, she often meant more to him than worrying about himself or another world.
Pros: She had the ability to make him a better man and to bridge the gap between his alien ways and that of humanity. He took care of her and taught her of the stars. It’s wonderful to have the Doctor seen in a family relationship. The two of them together are very special.
Cons: Though he always did what he thought was best for Susan, it was heartbreaking to see him leave her behind with a man she barely knew. It was sad to see their bond broken.
Great Moment: We love their little argument in the Sensorites where she stands up to him and says she wants to be able to make her own decisions, she doesn’t want to be treated like a child anymore.
Did it last? Well he would see her again…one day…but she’ll always be a part of him anyway, no matter what, and no matter what regeneration he is in. The Doctor and his granddaughter are the most special of all relationships.
You’re the ONE that I want. “We’ll have to find out for ourselves, won’t we?” “Thank you for the we”
Pairing: Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright.
Relationship: Colleagues, friends, and obviously much more than friends. Ian and Barbara went on the strangest first date ever when they travelled in time and space. Their relationship deepened in so many ways and all because Barbara invited Ian to a junkyard. They would do anything for each other and even occasionally have a lover’s tiff. They are two halves of a whole.
Pros: They are equals. They are adorable together. They calm each other down and bring out each others good qualities. They weren’t necessarily written as a romance, but the actors’ chemistry shone through and they made Ian and Barbara so perfect for each other. Their careers rather compliment each other too, the history teacher and the science teacher- the past and the future…and they are the present.
Cons:..ummm…they didn’t get an official kiss or some declaration of feelings for each other during their time on the show (not that it needed it).
Great Moment? Way too many. One of the best is when they get home and run giddily around London as if they’re teenagers on a date! They are so happy just to be together, and be home. (even if it is two years out).
Did it last? You betcha! Their romance finally became canon when Sarah-Jane (In SJA) mentioned ‘Professors Ian and Barbara Chesterton’ and they have been written as married in many books and audios. For example in ‘The Face of the Enemy’ book, Ian and Barbara briefly work for the Brig and UNIT, and they are married with a son John.
