During his Academy days, the First Doctor appeared in a production of The Army Game. He would eventually graduate, specifically in the area "of Music and Performing Arts. (PROSE: TARDIS Stolen! [+]Loading...["TARDIS Stolen! (short story)"])
Departure[[edit] | [edit source]]
Still in "his early centuries", the Doctor stole a TARDIS from Sector 5 Zero X and left Gallifrey with his granddaughter Susan. This news made the front page of the 1163rd issue of the Gallifrey Gazette. A Governing Body spokesman suggested the Doctor might be using the TARDIS for a touring production entitled The Who Revue which he was known to be putting together.
However, the Master thought differently, testifying that the Doctor had been very excited the previous month after receiving a communication from the "BB Corporation". He put forward his belief that the organisation was none other than Gallifrey's oldest enemies, the Bed and Breakfast Corps, who were instructing the Doctor to begin an insurrection to undermine the Gallifreyan government, also pointing out the warning present in the Book of Rassilon to "beware men in white wigs". (PROSE: TARDIS Stolen! [+]Loading...["TARDIS Stolen! (short story)"])
Travels with Susan[[edit] | [edit source]]
Noting that the nature of his granddaughter Susan was "one of the most puzzling discrepancies in the whole Who mythos", the Doctor decided to set the record straight. He and Susan explained together that, as Time Lords get younger with each regeneration and Susan was clearly a lot younger than he was, she was not his granddaughter but his grandmother. (COMIC: Doctor Who? 106 [+]Loading...["Doctor Who? (DWM 106 comic story)"])
The Doctor and Susan eventually settled down in London in the 1960s. (COMIC: An Unearthly Child: The Unscreened Edition [+]Loading...["An Unearthly Child: The Unscreened Edition (comic story)"], PROSE: Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary [+]Loading...["Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary (short story)"]) They lived in the TARDIS, which was situated either at 76 Totter's Lane according to the television programme or on Barnes Common according to David Whitaker's book version. (COMIC: An Unearthly Child: The Unscreened Edition [+]Loading...["An Unearthly Child: The Unscreened Edition (comic story)"])
On 17 November 1963, the Doctor paid £13/5/6 for a pair of Chippendale rocking chairs, only to discover they were foreign imports from Hong Kong dated circa 1959. He noted in his 500 Year Diary the belief that he wasn't cut out for the junkyard business. A day later on 18 November, the Doctor lamented that Susan had failed her maths exam (as well as her geography and needlepoint exams) despite him having told her Great Britain had not yet adopted the metric system. On 19 November, Bessie broke down while the Doctor was out on his rounds, forcing him to pull the cart back to the junkyard himself.
On 20 November, the Doctor arrived home to hear Susan screaming and rushed inside the TARDIS to find she had tuned the scanner to the BBC in order to watch the Beatles. The next day on 21 November, a BBC Detector van issued them a fine for tuning in and failing to pay the licence fee. A day after that on 22 November the Doctor was fined again, this time by the police for not having the appropriate licence to deal in junk. He was also informed of the illegality of squatting in a police box, indignantly claiming in his diary that he had never squatted in his life. On 23 November, the Doctor slipped a disc while transporting an iron Victorian mangle down seven flights of stairs.

Travels with Susan, Ian and Barbara[[edit] | [edit source]]
Leaving Coal Hill[[edit] | [edit source]]
In November 1963, Susan's teachers at Coal Hill Secondary School Ian and Barbara began to grow suspicious of her and decided to visit her at her home (COMIC: An Unearthly Child: The Unscreened Edition [+]Loading...["An Unearthly Child: The Unscreened Edition (comic story)"]) later that day on 23 November. (PROSE: Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary [+]Loading...["Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary (short story)"]) There, they encountered the Doctor, who proceeded to drive a lorry full of scrap into the TARDIS all while claiming there was nothing strange going on. He claimed to know nothing of Susan when asked about her whereabouts, offering to sell Ian a used fridge, but Ian and Barbara made their way into the TARDIS when they heard Susan's voice in spite of the Doctor's efforts to distract them with a nice kitchen chair. The Doctor was then forced to dematerialise the ship, without time to allow Susan's teachers leave, due to the approach of Susan Foreman's grandmother. (COMIC: An Unearthly Child: The Unscreened Edition [+]Loading...["An Unearthly Child: The Unscreened Edition (comic story)"]) The Doctor wrote in his diary that he had decided to give the two teachers "the fright of their lives", also bringing along a 15-strong BBC production team along for the ride, believing the look on all their faces to have been priceless. (PROSE: Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary [+]Loading...["Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary (short story)"])
They arrived in the Stone Age about one million years in the past and were captured by a tribe who, though intially believed by Ian to be Blake's 7 fans, intended to sacrifice them to the gods. The group was held captive until they decided to grant the tribe the secret of fire, with the Doctor unable to invent something to help them escape as he was only an inventor in the TV Comic version of the script. However, they did eventually escape, after which they were recaptured and escaped again a further six times. (COMIC: An Unearthly Child: The Unscreened Edition [+]Loading...["An Unearthly Child: The Unscreened Edition (comic story)"]) The Doctor recorded in his diary that they were trapped by the Tribe of Gum on Sunday and remained trapped on Monday, eventually escaping on the Tuesday. (PROSE: Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary [+]Loading...["Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary (short story)"]) Becoming tired of this repetitive cycle, the Doctor told the cavemen that although he was unable to provide them with the secret of fire he could give them "something which might warm [them] up a bit", bringing Raquel Welch out of the TARDIS. The cavemen were satisfied with his gesture and allowed the Doctor and his companions to leave for their next adventure.

Subsequent adventures[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor next took them in search of cornflakes and a fluid link among other things but they were captured by the Daleks while out shopping, with half the BBC production team being exterminated when they attempted to negotiate a merchandising contract. The travellers were afforded a day off the following day due to the Thals running out of hair dye and eye make-up but a day after, on Friday, that the Doctor made what he thought might be his final diary entry as he doubted nothing could save them from the Daleks any longer. However, on Saturday he was pleased to report that through "a stroke of luck" the Daleks had been defeated by having their power cut off due to their failure to pay their electric bill.
In the first four months of 1964, the Doctor had four separate arguments with Ian which he recorded in his diary. (PROSE: Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary [+]Loading...["Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary (short story)"])
While on Vortis, the Doctor, Susan and Barbara enjoyed a picnic outside the TARDIS. The Doctor chastised Ian, who was sulking away from the rest of the group without any trousers on, for complaining about the ants in his pants after all the dangers they had been through. (COMIC: Untitled 4 [+]Loading...["Untitled 4 (The Doctor Who Fun Book comic story)"])
In June 1965, Ian departed the Doctor's company. The Doctor reflected in his diary that he would miss him. (PROSE: Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary [+]Loading...["Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary (short story)"])
Travels with Steven[[edit] | [edit source]]
In July 1965, Steven Taylor intruded on the TARDIS and took up residence before the Doctor had even got the chance to advertise the newly-available room to let. He made a note to himself in his diary to acquire a new rent book. By August, the Doctor was already annoyed by Steven's habits, specifically his propensity to demonstrate the simplicity of making toothbrush holders, plant pots and troughs suitable for a toy farm out of materials such as empty bottles of washing-up liquid and sticky-back plastic. Additionally, he was critical of Steven's cooking. (PROSE: Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary [+]Loading...["Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary (short story)"])
Travels with Ben and Polly[[edit] | [edit source]]
A cave painting believed to be at least 333,00⅓ years old which was found in the ancient caves of Norwich depicted the Doctor, Ben and Polly fleeing in terror from a wooly rhinoceros. (COMIC: Who Was 'Ere! [+]Loading...["Who Was 'Ere! (comic story)"])
Time alone[[edit] | [edit source]]
Multi-Doctor events[[edit] | [edit source]]
The First Doctor once attended the Annual Gallifreyan Doctor Who Con along with his five next incarnations and Dr. Who. A fan asked the panel who was the most evil foe they had encountered over the years to which the First Doctor replied "the Movie Doctor". (COMIC: Doctor Who? 95 [+]Loading...["Doctor Who? (DWM 95 comic story)"])
The First Doctor once competed against his next five incarnations in a race through time and space to the end of the universe. (GAME: The Universe Marathon [+]Loading...["The Universe Marathon"])
As a doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]
While working as a genuine medical doctor, the First Doctor received his sixth incarnation as a patient and informed him that he was going deaf. The Sixth Doctor replied it was an occupational hazard, with the First Doctor also suffering from deafness as he did not hear this response and neither man picking up on Peri Brown's repeated screams. (COMIC: Doctor Who? 120 [+]Loading...["Doctor Who? (DWM 120 comic story)"])
Nearing the end[[edit] | [edit source]]
In July 1966, the Doctor noted his 500 Year Diary that "the biggest threat to us all" had been unleashed, explaining that ITV had put Batman up against them in the Who time slot after three years of being beaten "hands down" in the Saturday evening television ratings. The Doctor believed this threat had significant merit and wondered if they would survive.
In November 1966, the BBC bought the Doctor a new set of clothes but got them two sizes too small. The Doctor acknowledged the "very generous" gesture but was also disparaging of "the fools", questioning in his diary if they believed him to Patrick Troughton. (PROSE: Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary [+]Loading...["Extracts from the Doctor's 500 Year Diary (short story)"])
Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]
While in the depths of the TARDIS after having changed its exterior light bulb, Peri Brown climbed a long staircase and passed a portrait of the First Doctor labelled "No. 1". It was positioned next to a portrait of the Second Doctor and accompanied many other similar portraits, among them "-10", "-6", "No. 33" and "No. 13".

As a fictional character[[edit] | [edit source]]
The First Doctor existed as a fictional character in the television series Doctor Who where he was played by William Hartnell. During Hartnell's audition for the part, he was reminded by a member of production that he was not in The Army Game any longer. (COMIC: Ever Wondered What Happened At.. The Auditions For The Seven Doctors? [+]Loading...["Ever Wondered What Happened At.. The Auditions For The Seven Doctors? (comic story)"])
"All six Doctors", including Hartnell's First Doctor, were featured in the Doctor Who Fortieth Anniversary Special. One scene with all the Doctors was ruined by Patrick Troughton who pulled a piece of string which was literally the only thing holding the set together, causing it to fall away. The Doctors also featured in a special souvenir photograph which also contained many of the companions and monsters from the special.
