The TARDIS landed in [[Earth]]'s [[Stone Age]]. The Doctor was taken by [[Kal]], who believed the Doctor had produced [[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]].

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".
