It could have been very easy to have ended the show with ian and barbara leaving.

I LOVE IAN & BARBARA

I think the doctor saw Barbara and Ian as his last link to Susan and saying goodbye is like saying goodbye to his last connection to her.

@sebbrown1 Ian was right the Doctor was as stubborn, as a mule and Ian and Barbara wanted to get back home.

@aquagrl63 Just as important, how would Ian and Barbara explain Susan's disappearance. The police would have suspected them of having something to do with that. I don't see any way how they could explain away their own disappearance. Any story they tried to give could be checked out.

@kavtoM Too much time in the Tardis? Apparently being conceived in a Tardis makes you part time lord, capable of flying one, and other ways they butchered the show with that River Song crap... Why not become ageless in it.

Pity it's cut off the earlier dialogue where Ian talks about how he misses the little everyday things like drinking a pint of beer and watching a cricket match in the park; I thought that dialogue was really well written. On a totally different matter, at 0.21 it seriously sounds like a dog barking when the Doctor shouts 'NO!'

@liongirlfc True, these things are open to interpretation.

@Hecatean RTD said it is up to us and Sarah Jane could haven't meant anything about not ageing like their hadn't age in spirit and stuff.

[Hecatean]

@liongirlfc It's not nessecarily the case that they don't know about regeneration they might have had some "off screen" adventures with previous Docs. Given that, according to Sarah Jane, they hadn't aged since the sixties they may well have come back to the Doc's attention some time ago....

@LyleBennet Yes enjoyed them too. The novel "Lungbarrow" a good one to have as arguably it's the last full adventure of the seventh Doctor since it appears to lead straight into the events of the McGann movie. Though since it's so rare these days it's changing hands at fairly steep prices on ebay amazon ect
