When free from work, she attended some of the Doctor's lectures at the university. The Doctor saw her unfulfilled potential and invited her for a series of personal tutoring sessions.

Biography

Before the Doctor

Bill's mother died when she was young, so she was brought up by a foster mother, Moira. (TV: The Pilot)

Bill served chips at St Luke's University in Bristol and, despite not being a student, attended some of the Doctor's lectures. Noticing her potential, he became her personal tutor.

Bill cries while looking at her mother's pictures. (TV: The Pilot)

During Christmas, Bill mentioned to the Doctor that she was "supposed to look" like her mother, but, as her mum rarely had any picture taken, Bill didn't really knew if she looked like her. When she returned to her flat, Moira told her she had found a box with pictures of Bill's mum. In one of the pictures, Bill could see the Doctor photographing her mum in a reflection.

Over the course of her tutoring Bill developed a crush on another student, Heather, who showed her a puddle that cast a reversed reflection. Bill asked Heather not to leave without her. While Bill was walking around the fence, Heather was "eaten" by the puddle and later followed Bill home.

Bill went to the Doctor's office, where Heather continued to follow her. The Doctor brought her into the TARDIS to try to outrun the water creature, and they eventually travelled to a war zone in the Dalek-Movellan War. Bill realised she was being pursued as Heather had promised not to leave without her. On the Doctor's advice, she released Heather from her promise.

The Doctor took her back to the university, where Bill expressed regret at having turned down Heather's offer, with the Doctor telling her it was unlikely they would ever see each other again. Bill then looked at the TARDIS, the Doctor realizing what she was suggesting and made her stand close to him, intending to wipe her memory of these events, but she convinced him not to. The Doctor then agreed to take Bill with him on his travels, acknowledging that they might run into Heather again one day. (TV: The Pilot)
