In [[1963]], Barbara taught [[Susan|Susan Foreman]] history at [[Coal Hill School]] ([[TV]]: "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]") in [[Shoreditch]], [[London]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') in classroom [[Class C4]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)|Nothing at the End of the Lane]]'') She had a particular interest in the [[Aztec]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Aztecs (TV story)|The Aztecs]]'') The odd gaps in Susan's knowledge and her knowledge of things she could not know intrigued Barbara. Informing her colleague Ian Chesterton of the strange girl, together they followed Susan to [[76 Totter's Lane]], where they heard her voice from inside a [[police box]]. They forced their way inside, discovering the massive [[console room]] of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. | In [[1963]], Barbara taught [[Susan|Susan Foreman]] history at [[Coal Hill School]] ([[TV]]: "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]") in [[Shoreditch]], [[London]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') in classroom [[Class C4]].

Susan's grandfather, the [[First Doctor]], kidnapped Ian and Barbara in the TARDIS, which [[Time travel|travelled back in time]]. The TARDIS landed in [[Earth]]'s [[Stone Age]]. The Doctor was taken by [[Kal]], who had apparently seen him produce [[fire]] from his fingers (the Doctor had been lighting his pipe using matches). The others tried to rescue the Doctor, but were taken to the [[Cave of Skulls]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'') During their imprisonment, Barbara told the Doctor the story ''[[Godfather Death]]'' by the [[Brothers Grimm]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Knight, The Fool and The Dead (novel)|The Knight, The Fool and The Dead]]'') The [[Old Mother]] released the Doctor and his [[companion]]s because she did not want them to bring fire back to her tribe, and they escaped into [[Forest of Fear|a nearby forest]]. Ian and Barbara aided [[Za]]'s injuries from an animal when he tried to chase after them, but were returned to the cave. Ian produced fire for the tribe and devised a way of scaring the cavemen by setting the skulls on fire. The group escaped to the TARDIS, which took off again and landed on the ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'') dead planet of [[Skaro]].

Susan | According to a dissenting account, Barbara had been personally tutoring Susan and only met Ian after he had a [[car crash]] on [[Barnes Common]]. This account claimed the TARDIS travelled directly to [[Skaro]] after they encountered the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks (novelisation)|Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks]]'') During the [[Last Great Time War]], a "version" of the Doctor met [[the Barber-Surgeon]] and outlined this version of events as how they met Barbara and Ian. However, the [[War Doctor]] declared the version of events in Totter's Lane as the truth and remembered those as how they met. He outright said the events in Barnes Common "never happened" after the Barber-Surgeon recounted them. The Barber-Surgeon only responded by telling him "everything's happened somewhere".

When the TARDIS landed on Skaro, the Doctor lied about the [[fluid link]] needing more [[mercury (element)|mercury]], when there was nothing wrong, so he could explore [[Dalek City|a nearby city]]. The [[Dalek]]s imprisoned the Doctor and his companions inside the city, confiscating the fluid link they brought along. | When the TARDIS landed on Skaro, the Doctor lied about the [[fluid link]] needing more [[mercury (element)|mercury]], when there was nothing wrong, so he could explore [[Dalek City|a nearby city]]. The [[Dalek]]s imprisoned the Doctor and his companions inside the city, confiscating the fluid link they brought along. Having escaped, they assisted the [[Thal]]s in their attack on the Dalek city. The Daleks' power supply was damaged in the attack. The Daleks died and their plans to flood the [[atmosphere]] with [[radiation]] failed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'') | ||

With the fluid link retrieved, the Doctor left Skaro for Earth, using the [[fast return switch]]. The spring in the switch was faulty, causing it to stick. The TARDIS was sent to the beginning of a solar system and everyone was knocked out in the trip. The TARDIS tried warning the crew about the [[atom]]s forming around them when they came to, but the Doctor assumed that this was Ian and Barbara's sabotage of the ship. Once Barbara figured out what was going on, the Doctor fixed the spring, ending the fault.
