Ian introduced Barbara | Ian introduced Barbara to [[River Song]], who had been hired at Coal Hill as a history teacher. The two got along well, with Barbara confiding in River that she would love to travel, but couldn't do it with their current salary. Barbara told Ian and River about her worries about a student, [[Sheila Page]], who seemed to be behaving strangely. Deciding to act upon it, Barbara went to see her foster parent, but the man was very rude and refused to help. She then enlisted the help of both Ian and River to come back and insist, but when they came to the house, they found the owner dead and Sheila and her adoptive brother, [[Lloyd Walker]], missing. Ian and Barbara came to fetch the police while River surveyed the area. When they returned, River announced she had found Lloyd. The four of them headed to the pub, where River left Ian and Barbara to take care of Lloyd as she went out looking for Sheila, turning down Ian's request to come with her. The two teachers eventually came out nonetheless, but River assured her it was all over. Before leaving Coal Hill, River said a fond goodbye to both.

Barbara met with [[Joan Wright|her mother]] every Sunday afternoon for [[tea]] and to discuss the events of the week. On the last Sunday before Barbara was abducted by the Doctor, she told her mother about Susan Foreman. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Small Semblance of Home (audio story)|A Small Semblance of Home]]'') Impressed with Susan's schoolwork, Barbara asked her if she would mind working with her at her house. When Susan refused becuase her grandfather didn't like strangers, Barbara asked the school secetary for her address and walked there after school. She was surprised to find a junkyard instead of a house.

When the TARDIS landed in [[19th century]] [[Japan]] before it was opened to [[Westerner]]s, the Doctor and Barbara were taken prisoner at the orders of the daimyo [[Takagi Mamoru]], while Ian and Susan managed to escape, as Mamoru suspected the two of being spies from [[England]], sent to spy on his preparation for a revolt against the Emperor, who was about to open the country to strangers. The Doctor and Barbara tried to escape, but ended up being involved, together with Ian and Susan, in a battle between Mamoru's samurais and the Emperor's forces. After a hole had been blown in Mamoru's stronghold, the group retreated back to the TARDIS and fled.

As Pygmalion was to bless his new ship, Ian was nearly killed before he was rescued by Elissa and brought aboard the ship as they sailed away from Tyre, though leaving the Doctor behind. As Ian fought off Elissa's flirtations, Barbara tried to reach out to the despondent Susan before they arrived at the site of the future [[Carthage]]. Along with Susan, Barbara was nearly conscripted into a temple before the Doctor caught up with them and painted him and his friends as emissaries of the gods. After defeating Pygmalion's fleet, the TARDIS crew took off again, Ian finding that he'd inspired [[Aeneas]], before the ship was drawn to [[Tick-Tock World|a temporally unstable planet]].

As the ship hurled out of control, Susan suggested drawing power from the [[TARDIS force field]], being supported by an echo from a fading future version of herself, allowing the engines to break free.

A later attempt to use the [[fast return switch]] to get Ian and Barbara home, resulted in the group's return to Skaro, fifty [[cycle]]s after their last visit. Brought to the [[Thal City]], the group was shown some of their new inventions before it was found that Susan and [[Jyden]] had snuck off to the Dalek City. At the Doctor's request, Barbara stayed behind, in case Susan returned on her own, talking to [[Damadus]] about the Thals' evolution before Susan and Jyden returned with two active, yet unarmed, Dalek drones who claimed to want peace. When the Daleks were allowed to speak to the people however, they abandoned their ruse as the [[Dalek Supreme (Return to Skaro)|Dalek Supreme]] arrived with an army, striking the Thals with lightning from the ionising towers. Rallying the Thals once more, the group managed to free the Doctor who turned the towers against the Daleks, ending their invasion before the group left Skaro once again.

After speaking to Thomas Preston, the British Consul, Susan and Barbara posed as [[nun]]s to infiltrate the house of [[Nicholas II]] and his family, Susan befriending [[Anastasia Romanov]]. As Barbara questioned how useful she and Susan were, Ian and the Doctor returned only for Nicholas II to reveal that he had come to terms with death and encouraged them to flee. Running back to the TARDIS, Barbara spoke with Susan again, humouring her pupil's belief that Anastasia might have escaped execution.

Following the ship suddenly losing power, the Doctor and Susan managed to force it to self-repair which necessitated an emergency landing. The travellers found themselves on a dystopian future Earth where they were taken prisoner and forced to submit to a genetic scan to prove they were human. Though the Doctor had sabotaged the machine to read Susan as human, intending for Ian and Barbara to look after her, humanity's genes had evolved so much over the eons that Ian and Barbara did not read as human. As a result, they were sent to work in the mines with the gestalt being [[Brooskin]]. When Ian tried to escape, he wound up exposing himself to the vacuum of space with Brooskin informing the humans that they were not on Earth but on [[Urth]], a space habitat smaller than [[London]]. Following Susan currying the favour of the settlement's rulers, she managed to free her friends before representatives from the remainder of the human race arrived. Convinced that the problems would sort themselves out very shortly, the travellers made for the TARDIS and left.
