The First Doctor proceeded to rescue George, his wife [[Helen Mortimer|Helen]] and their children [[Ida Mortimer|Ida]] and [[Alan Mortimer|Alan]] and took them on a trip to the [[Andromeda (galaxy)|Andromeda Galaxy]] in the [[far future]]. It is possible that, for a brief period after the First Doctor's arrival in 1666, that there were three separate incarnations of the Doctor co-existing in the same time period and in close proximity to one another.
