Who</a></i> and a <a href="/wiki/Companion_(Doctor_Who)" title="Companion (Doctor Who)">companion</a> of the <a href="/wiki/First_Doctor" title="First Doctor">First Doctor</a>. She was one of the programme's first regulars and appeared in the bulk of its first two seasons from 1963 to 1965, played by <a href="/wiki/Jacqueline_Hill" title="Jacqueline Hill">Jacqueline Hill</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Prior to Hill being cast the part had originally been offered to actress Penelope Lee, who turned the role down.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Barbara appeared in 16 stories (74 episodes). In the film version of one of the serials, <i><a href="/wiki/Dr._Who_and_the_Daleks" title="Dr. Who and the Daleks">Dr. Who and the Daleks</a></i> (1965), Barbara was played by actress <a href="/wiki/Jennie_Linden" title="Jennie Linden">Jennie Linden</a>, but with a very different personality and backstory, which includes her being a granddaughter of "<a href="/wiki/Dr._Who_(Dalek_films)" title="Dr. Who (Dalek films)">Dr Who</a>". </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Appearances">Appearances</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Barbara_Wright_(Doctor_Who)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Appearances"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Television">Television</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Barbara_Wright_(Doctor_Who)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Television"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Barbara Wright first appears in the first <i>Doctor Who</i> serial, <i><a href="/wiki/An_Unearthly_Child" title="An Unearthly Child">An Unearthly Child</a></i> (1963), where she is teaching history at <a href="/wiki/Coal_Hill_School" class="mw-redirect" title="Coal Hill School">Coal Hill School</a> in <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a> in 1963, working with science teacher <a href="/wiki/Ian_Chesterton" title="Ian Chesterton">Ian Chesterton</a> (<a href="/wiki/William_Russell_(English_actor)" title="William Russell (English actor)">William Russell</a>). They are curious about their student <a href="/wiki/Susan_Foreman" title="Susan Foreman">Susan Foreman</a> (<a href="/wiki/Carole_Ann_Ford" title="Carole Ann Ford">Carole Ann Ford</a>), who shows an unusually advanced knowledge of science and history, but a rudimentary knowledge of other subjects. In an attempt to learn more about Susan, Barbara and Ian follow her home to a junkyard, where they hear her voice coming from what appears to be a <a href="/wiki/Police_box" title="Police box">police box</a>. During a confrontation with her grandfather, <a href="/wiki/Doctor_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doctor (Doctor Who)">the Doctor</a> (<a href="/wiki/William_Hartnell" title="William Hartnell">William Hartnell</a>), Barbara rushes in to the police box, only to discover that its exterior hides the much larger interior of the <a href="/wiki/TARDIS" title="TARDIS">TARDIS</a>. After the Doctor reveals to Barbara and Ian that he and Susan are aliens exiled from their own planet, he tells them he cannot risk their revealing information about the TARDIS to their contemporary world, and dematerialises the craft against Susan's protests. At this point in the series the Doctor had no control over where or when it would land, making a return to London in 1963 impossible to co-ordinate. They are transported back in time to 100,000 BCE Earth, where they are captured by a prehistoric tribe seeking the secret of fire. Once they escape back to the TARDIS, <a href="/wiki/The_Daleks" title="The Daleks">their second trip</a> takes them to the planet <a href="/wiki/Skaro" class="mw-redirect" title="Skaro">Skaro</a>, where they encounter the <a href="/wiki/Dalek" title="Dalek">Daleks</a> for the first time. At the end of the first episode of that serial, Barbara becomes separated from her fellow travellers and is threatened by an unseen creature with a metal arm, marking the first appearance of a Dalek. </p><p>In the subsequent story, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Edge_of_Destruction_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Edge of Destruction (Doctor Who)">The Edge of Destruction</a></i>, tensions between the TARDIS crew reach the point of overt conflict when he accuses them of trying to sabotage the TARDIS in an attempt to return to 1963. Barbara remains level-headed and logical, allowing the Doctor to trace the source of the distress to telepathic influences from the TARDIS (which is trying to warn them of a major failure). Seeing that Barbara has been hurt by his accusations, the Doctor apologises and begins to realise he can rely on the two teachers, sealing a friendship which lasts until their eventual departure from the TARDIS. Although mutually respectful and increasingly affectionate, the relationship between the Doctor and Barbara is often tested by their opposing viewpoints. In <i><a href="/wiki/The_Aztecs_(Doctor_Who)" title="The Aztecs (Doctor Who)">The Aztecs</a></i>, Barbara is mistaken for the reincarnation of a high priest, Yetaxa, after they find her in possession of his bracelet. Barbara seizes this opportunity to change the course of history, and tries to persuade the Aztecs to abandon <a href="/wiki/Human_sacrifice" title="Human sacrifice">human sacrifice</a>, so that by the time <a href="/wiki/Hern%C3%A1n_Cort%C3%A9s" title="Hernán Cortés">Hernán Cortés</a> – who overthrew the Aztec empire – lands he will find a glorious civilisation. The Doctor warns Barbara that she cannot rewrite history, but his protests fall on deaf ears. Barbara fails and, although she has influenced some Aztecs, history remains on course. </p><p>Angry at Ian, the Doctor tries to take him and Barbara home, but in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Reign_of_Terror_(Doctor_Who)" title="The Reign of Terror (Doctor Who)">The Reign of Terror</a></i> they end up in the <a href="/wiki/French_Revolution" title="French Revolution">French Revolution</a>, where Barbara and Susan are captured and nearly <a href="/wiki/Guillotine" title="Guillotine">guillotined</a>.

The Doctor is furious and tries to persuade them to stay with him by suggesting the journey might kill them, but the two teachers had made up their minds. After an emotional farewell to the Doctor and Vicki, Barbara and Ian are returned to London, albeit two years after their disappearance. Back on the TARDIS, the Doctor uses the time-space visualiser to check they have returned safely, and tells Vicki how much he will miss them. </p><p>Following her departure in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Chase_(Doctor_Who)" title="The Chase (Doctor Who)">The Chase</a></i>, Barbara has been name-checked in the series on four subsequent occasions.
