The only serial featuring Polly which is currently complete in the BBC archive is her first, The War Machines.
Polly first appears in the First Doctor serial, The War Machines, where she is working as a secretary to Professor Brett. Brett develops the artificial intelligence known as WOTAN, and Polly meets the Doctor (William Hartnell) and Dodo (Jackie Lane) when they come to investigate it. Polly befriends Dodo and takes her to a London nightclub called the Inferno, where they meet Ben Jackson (Michael Craze) and try to cheer up the Royal Navy sailor. When Polly is accosted by another patron in the Inferno, Ben comes to her rescue. Eventually, Ben and Polly aid the Doctor in his fight against WOTAN when the computer tries to take over the world. They are the bearers of the news of Dodo's decision to stay in 1966 to the Doctor, and accidentally get carried away in the TARDIS when they try to return Dodo's key to the time machine.
Yeah, I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul
That's not enough, will you want more?
Like the writing on an ancient wall
You're a mystery that I'll never solve
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
Well, I've walked along the red canal of Mars
I've known kings and king makers, poets, painters and paupers
I've danced, danced on the rings of Saturn
Still your pilgrim soul is the only thing that ever mattered
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me, rock it
Yeah, this old world ain't always what it seems
Sometimes I feel I'm living in someone else's dream
There's a face I know that I've never seen
Still a hundred million miles ten thousand years
Ain't going to change a thing
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
