An Unearthly Child (1963), with the first episode focusing on her as an unusual teenager with an advanced knowledge of history and science. This catches the attention of her teachers at
Coal Hill School,
Ian Chesterton (
William Russell) and
Barbara Wright (
Jacqueline Hill), who follow her home to a junkyard. It is revealed that she and her grandfather,
the Doctor (
William Hartnell), are exiles from their own people in "another time, another world" and have been travelling through space and time in a machine she named the
TARDIS from the
acronym "Time and Relative Dimension in Space". As Ian and Barbara have gained this knowledge, the Doctor whisks them away on the TARDIS against their will, and he cannot accurately fly the machine.
