Line 8:
Two teachers think their super-bright pupil, Susan Foreman (a brown-eyed girl, complete with transistor radio, though she is not heard to actually sing sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la), is a bit on the strange side: she's bored with regular physics and math and wants to move on to multi-dimensional physics and maths, and she thinks that the UK has decimalised its currency (which hasn't yet happened in 1963). So, they decide to follow her home one night. This being 1963, it's benign concern for the welfare of a child, and not at all creepy.
 
Now, neither of these teachers fit the model of the later companions. They're in their thirties. One is male and the other is female. They are not having an extra-curricular relationship. [[The Sarah Jane Adventures (TV)/Recap/S4 E5 E6 Death of the Doctor|Not yet.]]
 
They arrive at Susan's home address. It's a junkyard. They hear Susan's voice coming from inside a police box. Thinking that her grandfather, "I. M. Foreman", has locked her in there, they proceed to open the door.
Line 33:
* [[Line-of-Sight Name]]: It is implied that Susan got her last name from the junkyard where she and her grandfather were hiding out.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Ian is known to the tribe as "Friend".
* [[Never Mess Withwith Granny]] - The oldest cavewoman is also the most vicious, and the most politically adept schemer.
* [[One Million BC]]
* [[Styrofoam Rocks]]: Naturally, as the whole thing was filmed in a studio.
