   I think the most interesting thing about the first season or two is that   
   the Doctor starts off as more of an anti-hero than a hero: cowardly and   
   self-serving. Ian is the hero. But by the time Patrick Troughton takes   
   over, the character has become pretty much the one we know today -   
   though of course each incarnation has their own quirks.
