E is for...
Earth
A planet, also called Sol 3, orbitting a yellow dwarf star in the Orion-Cygnus Spiral Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Earth is home to at least two intelligent species - homo reptilia, sometimes called Silurians, a biped reptilian race, and the later-developing mammalian race homo sapiens, also called Humans.
Earth has seemed, even during its pre-space-age history, to have attracted more than its fair share of alien invaders, such as Daleks, Cybermen, Pyroviles, Carrionites and the Great Intelligence, among many others. During Earth's early years of space travel and broadcasting signals, this intensified, to the extent that, by the early 21st century, there appeared to be several invasion attempts every year.
The Doctor has shown a great affinity with Earth and the human race, visiting it probably more than all other planets put together, both by his own choice and by that of the TARDIS. Most of his companions have been from Earth (or in a few cases humans from planets colonised from Earth) and he's treated the planet as his base, or semi-permanent home, on a number of occasions, mostly notably during the 1970s, although his interactions with humans have ranged from the early paleolithic period to billions of years in the future.
