'''Bessie''' was the [[Third Doctor]]'s main mode of transport during his [[exile on Earth]], although other incarnations of [[the Doctor]] have also used the [[car]]. A canary-yellow [[Edwardian era|Edwardian]] roadster, she was a key part of his compensation package from [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]], and the only specific demand he made of [[the Brigadier]] when he agreed to be UNIT's [[scientific advisor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'') Despite being beloved by the Doctor, the car was frequently ridiculed and underestimated by the Doctor's friends. Heavily tricked out, the car's many modifications often bewildered his associates. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dæmons (TV story)|The Dæmons]]'', ''[[The Time Monster (TV story)|The Time Monster]]'', ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'') The Brigadier in particular was dismissive of the car's abilities and, at least early on, didn't even believe it was capable of basic [[locomotion]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)|The Ambassadors of Death]]'') | '''Bessie''' was the [[Third Doctor]]'s main mode of transport during his [[exile on Earth]], although other incarnations of [[the Doctor]] have also used the [[car]].
