  Barbara Wright   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Kidnapped by the Doctor, Barbara proved a resourceful and insightful adventurer, whether it was fighting off the lecherous advances of the Roman Emperor, Nero, or inspiring the beleaguered Menoptra to destroy the evil Animus (N).
Unlike Ian, Barbara was often terrified by the dangers she faced, and was especially upset by the amount of death and violence they encountered.
She was asked to play Barbara Wright in Doctor Who after she and producer Verity Lambert, whom she knew socially, discussed the role at a party.

Barbara was originally to be named Lola McGovern, but fortunately this was changed.
She became the more accepting and trusting of the first human Companions and often found herself mediating arguments between the strong-minded Doctor and the equally strong-minded (and very skeptical) Ian.
That's not to say that she couldn't be strong-minded herself, as in "The Aztecs" when she is determined to use her mistaken identity of the goddess Yetaxa to end the Aztecs' brutal practice of human sacrifice.

 Who's Doctor Who? - The First Doctor 1
The Doctor never completely loses the arrogance that he initially displays to his new companions, but as their adventures continue his attitude gradually mellows as he learns what Susan already knows, that even ordinary humans have admirable qualities.
Many of their early adventures are the result of The Doctor's desire for knowledge, and it's only later, as he is influenced by his human companions, that he begins to act for more compassionate reasons.
The Doctor carries an odd assortment of items which include matches, binocular spectacles, a magnifying glass, and a penlight, but like most of his later incarnations, he rarely has money in his pockets.

 CONTEXT: Barbara Wright Reading Raymond Queneau
Such are Saturnin the concierge, in The Bark Tree, who meditates at some length on Being and Non-Being; Pierrot the fairground worker in Pierrot Mon Ami; Valentin Bru the ex-private soldier in The Sunday of Life; twelve-year-old Zazie (in the metro).
Queneau is that rarest of rare phenomena in an age of specialists and watertight compartments of culture: a truly universal, encyclopedic mind, a poet who is also a philosopher, mathematician, and scientist, the editor of the brilliantly conceived attempt at presenting a complete synthesis of twentieth-century culture, the Encyclopedie de la Pleiade.
Readers chuckled over the fact that Uncle Gabriel, who is looking after the child in Paris for a couple of days, is a homosexual female impersonator in a night club--although Gabriel of course denies being a "hormosessual" when Zazie a) wants to know what it is, and b) whether he is one.
