Ben was a Cockney merchant seaman who was tough, resourceful and independently-minded. He was in awe of the first Doctor, but with the gentler, somewhat vaguer second Doctor, he could rely much more on his own initiative.

He and Polly were about as different as they could possibly have been, but when they decide to stay on Earth, it seemed as though their future was together in The Faceless Ones
