Ian: How’s the Doctor? Got over his ride yet? Barbara: No, I don’t think we’ll ever get him on another horse as long as he lives. Listen, we need the TARDIS. You must talk to Marco. Ian: Talk to Marco? I’ve done nothing else but talk to Marco. Barbara: (Marco enters the room) Oh, Marco, Ian wants a word with you. I’m feeling a bit tired, so I think I’ll go off to bed. Ian: But. Just a minute. Barbara, come here!
Love the way Barbara just leaves it to Ian and is like ‘night Ian, you sort it out’, and Ian’s left there calling after her all flustered like he does not want to be the one to give the talk. We imagine it would be much like this in the future when Barbara leaves Ian to talk about the birds and the bees to their son, watching him squirm from the distance no doubt.
