The mistake, however, wasn't not knowing who the companions were; instead, the mistake was simply watching the least effective of the three first - and getting a false impression of William Hartnell's Doctor. Of all the Doctor Who stories I've watched so far, from all the Doctor's regenerations, The Edge of Destruction was by far and away the least effective. I didn't like the William Hartnell Doctor, nor did I like the Susan character. But the biggest problem was the story itself; it didn't make it clear why the Doctor and Susan were so paranoid (I suppose it was because they were, literally, out of time and space; and therefore completely out of their element). At any rate, when I watched An Unearthly Child, I got a much more positive impression of Hartnell's Doctor - in fact, he was the only one of the four travelers who seemed to have a sense of the danger they were in. I've read other reviews of other Doctors where Adric or Tegan or Peri was considered the worst companion ever. But I nominate the Doctor's granddaughter Susan for that honor; she was simply unbearable. Hartnell's Doctor, however, I would place just below Tom Baker's as the best of the early Doctors.
