Ian Chesterton was one of Susan Foreman's teachers at Coal Hill School, London. He is intrigued by Susan's advanced scientific knowledge, and in talking with another of her teachers, Barbara Wright, finds that he is not the only person who has noticed a strange knowledge in this pupil. One evening, as school is finishing, Ian and Barbara decide to follow Susan home. They are concerened about her, and curious. When they see Susan enter I.M. Foreman's junkyard in Totter's Lane, the two school teachers become more concerned for Susan's safety. Following her inside the yard, the two discover a Police Box sitting incongruously with the junk. Barging their way in, when they discover that Susan is inside, Ian discovers something he cannot believe (An Unearthly Child).

Ian's scientific mind makes him sceptical of anything he has no proof of. When Susan and the Doctor tell him that the Police Box is, in fact, a machine which travels through Time and Space, he is initally scpetical. He feels that the TARDIS is a scientific dream he does not expect to see answered in a junkyard. However, when the Doctor displays his disgust at Ian's arrogance, and ignorance, Ian states that he wants to understand. Once he has proof that the TARDIS is indeed a Space/Time craft he accepts this fact, and becomes the most practical of the travellers.
