		Susan is kind of Hartnell's iconic companion, his Jo or Sarah, and she's certainly adorable in a 60s-pixie little way.
		I think while Hartnell set the template for part of the Doctor's personality — call it the intellectual, impatient, occasionally arrogant side — it was Troughton who established the all-important whimsy and sense of mischief that ran through every Doctor to follow him.
		Troughton had to size up Hartnell's take on the role, then consciously bring something new from himself to it, without upsetting the established tone of the series or the essential goodness and decency of the character.
