"I understand these people better than you. Their minds reject things they don't understand."

Seemingly just an ordinary pupil at Coal Hill School, Susan's teachers Ms Wright and Mr Chesterton quickly discovered that she was anything but. Following her back to her junkyard home at 76 Totter's Lane, they discovered that both she and her crotchety old grandfather were in fact travellers from another world!

Susan is the Doctor's granddaughter. Exiled from a distant time and place, the pair lived aboard an extraordinary ship called the TARDIS, which to passersby in Shoreditch, 1963, looked like any other police box. The Doctor and Susan soon left their quiet, earthbound life behind to explore the wonders of time and space, taking Susan's teachers along with them!

Curious, quick-witted and kind, Susan was the first of the Doctor’s travelling companions to leave him, settling with David Campbell after defeating the Dalek invasion of Earth. The Doctor hasn't seen her in a very long time.
