More on Susan Foreman

The First of Many

     The first Doctor had many companions. Although he had many, the first of which, Susan Foreman, was special. She was a Time Lord. She played in Doctor Who from 1963-1964. She played in the first season and two episodes of the second. She returned for the feature-length 20th anniversary episode The Five Doctors in 1983.

     As well as being a Time Lord, she was the doctors granddaughter. Susan and The Doctor had been traveling together for an unknown amount of time when they have to stop in London to make repairs on the TARDIS. The name Foreman was an alibi that she picked up from the owner of the junkyard that they stayed in while making repairs. The owners name was "I. M. Foreman".


     Susan eventually leaves The Doctor after The Dalek Invasion of Earth. During the events of that story, Susan falls in love with David Campbell, a young freedom fighter in the 22nd century. However, Susan felt that she has to stay with The Doctor and take care of him. The Doctor, realizing that Susan is now a grown woman and deserves a future away from him, locks her out of the TARDIS and leaves her in London to start her own life.
