Ian: "You know, I don't think I'll ever get used to traveling with you, Doctor. There's always some remarkable new thing to see." Doctor: "The moment when you get used to it is the moment to stop, my dear boy." Ian (narrating): He smiled at me and rested his hand gently on my shoulder in friendship. So comfortable now...To think when we'd first met, we'd been enemies. -Ian Chesterton, The Rocket Men (Big Finish audio drama)

Ian is one of my favorite companions of the Classic Who era, and probably my favorite from the First Doctor era. Often taking the "action guy" role in many stories, he was not only fiercely protective of his companions, but also sought to help others in need. He was physically tough and brave, taking on many of the series' strongest enemies (most likely having some military training in his background), but also showed a fatherly gentleness and warmth towards Susan and Vicki, a close affection with Barbara, and witty banter with the Doctor. I'm so glad that his character is able to get more growth in the Big Finish audio dramas.

One of my favorite Classic Who moments is when Ian—who had met Daleks, Sensorites, giant insect creatures, mutant amphibian humanoids and other beasts, and was literally about to run into Mechanoids, robot doppelgangers, Frankenstein's monster, and Dracula—is reading a book called "Monsters from Outer Space" and saying it's far-fetched.
