On a planet visited by the First Doctor, the Elders dismissed those who lived outside the confines of their cities as savages to justify their medical exploitation of that group. (TV: The Savages)
On more than one occasion, the Fourth Doctor referred to Leela as a savage due to her primal behaviour. However, he employed the term with affection and melancholy — though she could not hear it — when he bade her farewell. (TV: The Face of Evil, The Invasion of Time)
