Both Doctors didn't particularly want their companions in the first place but eventually grew fond of them. Just a foot note to my previous post.
The first Doctors quote at the end of The Dalek Invasion of Earth to his departing granddaughter Susan has more raw emotion to it than a thousand Russell T Davies and Stephen Moffat scripts.
"During all the years I've been taking care of you, you in return have been taking care of me. You are still my grandchild and always will be. But now, you're a woman too. I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own. With David you will be able to find those roots and live normally like any woman should do. Believe me my dear, your future lies with David and not with a silly old buffer like me. One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. Goodbye Susan. Goodbye my dear"

I like that. I think my biggest problem with the early stuff was that Ian never engaged me the way Jamie, Sarah Jane, Harry Sullivan or Peri did.
Susan I immediately liked. I have a feeling I just need to find that one episode that wins me over or even that one scene.
I think every doctor has that defining moment where you are ready to be taken on that journey.
