William Russell: Ian Chesterton

Quotes 

• Barbara Wright : Ian, where are we?

  Ian Chesterton : I don't know.

  Barbara Wright : Well, why doesn't he take us back?

  Ian Chesterton : I'm not sure that he can.

  Barbara Wright : What, ever?

  Ian Chesterton : I hate it as much as you. I'm just as afraid. But what can we do?

  Barbara Wright : Well, we could at least stay near the ship.

  Ian Chesterton : Hmm. The ship's no good without him. We better keep an eye on him. He seems to have a knack of getting himself into trouble.

  Barbara Wright : You think there's any danger?

  Ian Chesterton : Not necessarily.

  Barbara Wright : But don't be too complacent. No, you're right, I suppose. I just wish...

  Ian Chesterton : We'll be all right.

  Barbara Wright : Yes. Well, I suppose we'd better make sure he doesn't fall down and break a leg. Don't you ever think he deserves something to happen to him?

  Ian Chesterton : [laughing]  Yes!

• Dr. Who : But I assure you, I am determined to study that place.

  Ian Chesterton : You can do what you like, as long as you don't endanger the rest of us.

  Dr. Who : Very well, then, I shall look at it myself, alone.

  Ian Chesterton : You're the only one who can operate the ship. I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Doctor.

  [hands the Doctor his glasses] 

  Ian Chesterton : Your glasses.
