It would not be until the last adventure of the Doctor's second incarnation that the name of the Doctor's people (the Time Lords) would be revealed, and the third incarnation before the name of his home planet ( Gallifrey) was first spoken. The Doctor describes himself and Susan as "exiles" without specifying why or even whether their exile is self-imposed. He has a ship that travels through time and space, the TARDIS, which is currently disguised as a police box (Susan notes that it used to be able to change to blend in with its surroundings), and is bigger on the inside. The First Doctor is a mysterious character and little is known about him at the outset except that he has a granddaughter, Susan Foreman, and that they come from another time and place.

The character occasionally appeared in the series after Hartnell's death, most prominently in 1983's The Five Doctors where he was portrayed by Richard Hurndall, and two episodes in 2017, in a cameo in " The Doctor Falls" and in the Christmas special, " Twice Upon a Time", portrayed by David Bradley. Hartnell reprised the role once, in the tenth anniversary story The Three Doctors (1973). Of the 134 episodes Hartnell appeared in as a regular, 44 are missing. His final on-screen companions were the sailor Ben ( Michael Craze) and the posh and sophisticated Polly ( Anneke Wills). In later episodes, he travelled alongside 25th-century orphan Vicki ( Maureen O'Brien), space pilot Steven ( Peter Purves), Trojan handmaiden Katarina ( Adrienne Hill), and sixties flower child Dodo Chaplet ( Jackie Lane). The First Doctor's original companions were his granddaughter Susan ( Carole Ann Ford) and her schoolteachers Ian Chesterton ( William Russell) and Barbara Wright ( Jacqueline Hill). Hartnell's portrayal of the character was initially a stubborn and abrasive old man who was distrustful of humans, but he mellowed out into a much friendlier, grandfatherly figure who adored his travels with his companions. The concept of regeneration, initially referred to as a "renewal," was introduced when Hartnell needed to leave the series, due to his increasingly bad health, and consequently has extended the life of the show for many years. At the end of life, the Doctor regenerates as a result, the physical appearance and personality of the Doctor changes. Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in the TARDIS, frequently with companions. He was portrayed by actor William Hartnell. The First Doctor is the initial protagonist of the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who and the first, and original, incarnation of the Doctor seen in the series.
