The Doctor is the central character in the long-running BBC television science-fiction series Doctor Who, and also features in Attempting to solve the mystery of this "unearthly child," Ian and Barbara follow Susan back home to a junkyard, where they hear her voice coming from what appears to be a police box. A police box was in 20th century Britain, a special type of Telephone kiosk or Callbox for use by members of the Police, or for When they investigate further, they discover that the police box exterior hides the much larger interior of a time machine known as the TARDIS, and are whisked away on an adventure in time and space with the Doctor and Susan. The TARDIS ( T ime A nd R elative D imension(s I n S pace is a time machine and Spacecraft in the

Ian provides the series with an action-oriented figure, able to perform the physical tasks that the elderly Doctor is not. His concern, above all, is for the safety of the TARDIS crew, and in the early stories he often takes issue with the Doctor's habit of placing the group in harm's way just to satisfy his own curiosity. The chemistry between Barbara and himself is also evident, although the nature of their relationship is never made explicit in the television series.

Ian shows a surprising breadth of skills throughout his tenure with the Doctor. He manages to create fire (An Unearthly Child), rides a horse, knows how to fight with swords (The Romans) and is knowledgeable about pressure points that can paralyze an opponent (The Aztecs). The Romans is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly The Aztecs is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in 4 weekly He is also fiercely protective of Barbara, going on a lone mission to rescue her from Saracens in The Crusade. Saracen was a term used by Europeans in the Middle Ages for Fatimids at first then later for all who professed the religion of Islam. The Crusade is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four In that story, he is also knighted by King Richard I of England as "Sir Ian of Jaffa," although presumably he would be unable to use that title in his own time. Knight is the English term for a social position originating in the Middle Ages. Richard I (8 September 1157 &ndash 6 April 1199 was King of England from 6 July 1189 until his death Jaffa يَافَا;(יָפוֹ Yafo; also Japho, Joppa) is an ancient Port city believed to be one of the oldest in the world After many travels, Ian and Barbara eventually use a Dalek time machine to get home, albeit two years after their disappearance and presumably with much explaining to do to their friends and families. A Dalek (, ˈdɑːlεk is a member of a Fictional extraterrestrial race of Mutants from the British science fiction television

The character of Ian was intended by the production team to return for a guest appearance in the 1983 Doctor Who story Mawdryn Undead, but this plan fell through when Russell proved to be unavailable. Mawdryn Undead is a serial in the British Science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was originally broadcast However, in 1999 Russell did return to the part for the BBC Worldwide video release of The Crusade, two of the four episodes of which are missing from the archives.
