I cannot think of any time where the doctor has visited a planet where there are only the natives present, no foreign species or alien invaders. And if he has, what happened and did they react in the same way humans do when they see anything strange i.e. mistaking aliens for supernatural forces or just being scared of them?--Coop3 ☎ 20:11, September 19, 2013 (UTC)

(I apologize in advance for telling you more than you probably ever wanted to know, but I'm like that.) Ever heard of the Classic Era "histories", stories in which arrival by TARDIS and the Doctor being an alien are the only sci-fi elements, the rest being either actual historical events, or fictional events in a historical setting? (i.e. "Marco Polo", "The Reign of Terror", "The Romans", "The Crusade", "The Myth Makers", "The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve", "The Gunfighters", "The Smugglers", "The Highlanders", and "Black Orchid")

Other than that, actually yes, "An Unearthly Child" (once the past was reached, it was locals only), "The Daleks" (Daleks caught on their native planet), "The Keys of Marinus" (all enemies native to planet), "The Sensorites" (discounting humans), "Planet of Giants", "The Savages" (pretty sure all were natives), "Doctor Who and the Silurians" (Silurians native to Earth), "Inferno" (danger came from beneath Earth's crust), "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" (dinos native to Earth, albeit the past), "The Deadly Assassin" (think it featured only Time Lords), etc.

And thinking about NuWho, "Rise of the Cybermen"/"Age of Steel" isn't technically invading "aliens", as the Cybermen were built right there; "Planet of the Ood" was on the Ood's home planet; "The Hungry Earth"/"Cold Blood" again the Silurians are Earth natives; "A Christmas Carol" features only natives to that planet, minus the space cruiser in danger of crashing.

That's all I can think of that seem to fit. Sorry again for so much information. —BioniclesaurKing4t2 - "Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically, . . . run." 21:01, September 19, 2013 (UTC)

I think Coop's question naturally excludes the Earth as the Doctor is there so frequently. So none of those examples are valid to his question. Planet Of The Ood wouldn't count as the humans controlling the Ood and not native to the Ood's home being human. A Christmas Carol also wouldn't couldn't as that "technicality" is actually pretty significant, I think, as the TARDIS actually first arrived on that space cruiser, not on the planet its self. The Doctor et al aren't really visiting the planet by choice, he is going there because said space cruiser is in danger. So there are no actual examples from NuWho that you've given to answer Coop's question although several of those classic ones seem to meet the criteria.DCT ☎ 11:41, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

New criteria in mind (no Earth-based, etc.), then the remaining candidates are "The Daleks", "The Keys of Marinus", "The Savages" (reconstructions only, sadly), and maybe "The Sensorites". Any others I missed?

Also, he brings to mind the good point that most Doctor Who after a certain point became mostly "drive out the enemies that should not be here", so alien-planet-natives-only stories are rare. —BioniclesaurKing4t2 - "Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically, . . . run." 03:50, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

There are more examples in the audios, although again they're mostly, but not always, First Doctor stories (Quinnis or The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance, The Masters of Luxor, The Dark Planet, Spare Parts, does The Holy Terror count?) JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 10:15, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

I think you may mean to be talking about "First Contact" situations for the natives(?) If not, while the Doctor was known to the Logopolitans, they were primarily interacting (directly) only with him and his friends, as the Master was concealed throughout the story. It seems that there were other cases where the Doctor met people with no knowledge of space travel, but they were humanoid just the same.Phil Stone ☎ 06:43, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
