36 minutes? No one’s got time for that.

Susan’s the Doctor’s granddaughter, who traveled with the First Doctor through Season 1 and the first two serials of Season 2. She was supposed to be about 15 years old.

She leaves the show after The Doctor saw her flirting with an older guy in post apocalyptic London. The Doctor, knowing what was best for her, came up with the pretense of going into the Tardis briefly to repair one of her shoes, then locked the door and took off so she could continue her relationship.

To recap, The Doctor left a 15 year old kid in a post apocalyptic hellhole with some guy she just met and no change of clothes, no toothbrush, and only a single shoe.

The First Doctor was kind of a dick.
