Dr Who was a rather eccentric Human scientist, living in a cottage in England with his grand-daughters Susan and Barbara. He also had a niece named Louise. Dr. Who had invented time travel in the form of Tardis, a machine, the exterior of which looked just like a police box.
While Ian was visiting his house he, Susan and Barbara went to have a look at Tardis. A lever was accidentally pressed and Dr. Who and his friends and family, transporting them to Skaro.
Trying to return Tardis home, Dr. Who opened the doors to find a Roman legion marching towards the ship. (Film: Dr. Who and the Daleks)
Tardis subsequently materialised on Oldark Moor, where Dr. Who and his companions encountered Count Tarkin. (ST: The House on Oldark Moor)
Subsequently, joined by Louise, they fought Daleks who had invaded Earth in the year 2150. (Film: Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD)
- It is not known what happened after the end of this adventure. A third film, based upon the televised serial The Chase, was planned but never made.
[edit] Behind the Scenes
Unlike the Doctor of the television series who, in common tradition, is never identified by the name "Doctor Who", the Cushing version is explicitly referenced by the name; the character's first name in this context is never revealed.
