Barbara Wright

Barbara Wright is a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who and a companion of the First Doctor. She was one of the programme's very first regulars and appeared in the bulk of its first two seasons from 1963 to 65, played by Jacqueline Hill. She was a secondary school history teacher whose curiosity about her student Susan led her to the TARDIS. The Doctor kidnapped her and her colleague Ian Chesterton out of fear that they would reveal their presence as aliens to the authorities. However, with time they became friends with the Doctor, while still hoping that the faulty TARDIS would one day bring them back home. Barbara appeared in 16 stories (77 episodes).

In the film version of one of the serials, Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965), Barbara was played by actress Jennie Linden, but with a very different personality and backstory, which includes her being a granddaughter of "Dr Who". …more
