[[File:0009bkkb.jpg|thumb|right|Dr. Who, [[Barbara (Dalek movies)|Barbara]], [[Susan (Dalek movies)|Susan]] and [[Ian (Dalek movies)|Ian Chesterton]] inside TARDIS ([[Dr. Who and the Daleks]])]] | [[File:0009bkkb.jpg|thumb|right|Dr. Who, [[Barbara (Dalek movies)|Barbara]], [[Susan (Dalek movies)|Susan]] and [[Ian (Dalek movies)|Ian Chesterton]] inside TARDIS (''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'')]] | ||
'''TARDIS''' was a [[space-time vessel]] invented by the [[human]] scientist [[Dr. Who (Dalek movies)|Dr. Who]]. It was [[transcendental engineering|larger inside than without]] and filled with electronics and masses of wiring. This changed in the next film to a neater arrangement, similar to the neo-futurism of the TARDIS of the first six Doctors. | '''TARDIS''' was a [[space-time vessel]] invented by the [[human]] scientist [[Dr. Who (Dalek movies)|Dr. Who]].

Its exterior resembled a [[police box]]. (''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'', ''[[Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.]]'') TARDIS was described by Dr Who as a matter transmitter, breaking itself and everything inside it into constituent electrical charges, which were sent to the destination. | Its exterior resembled a [[police box]].

Travel was instantaneous in the first film | Travel was instantaneous in the first film as it took only a second for TARDIS to travel from [[Earth]] to [[Skaro]]. In the next film, however, the travel appeared to have altered. The journey becoming gradual. The reason for this change was never explained. | ||
TARDIS appeared to travel in some kind of vortex - probably a wormhole which acted as a spatial drive with a temporal displacement field for time travelling. Dr Who told [[Tom Campbell]] that TARDIS could travel to any age, any planet and any universe, implying the machine could travel to alternate universes safely and easily and could return to its original universe with little to no trouble. | TARDIS appeared to travel in some kind of vortex - probably a wormhole which acted as a spatial drive with a temporal displacement field for time travelling.

The machine was more reliable than its television counterpart - in the second film, Dr. Who had the machine get Tom Campbell back to immediately before the robbers left the jewellery store. | The machine was more reliable than its television counterpart - in the second film, Dr. Who had the machine get Tom Campbell back to immediately before the robbers left the jewellery store. | ||

In spite of its nominal reliability, TARDIS landed in the middle of a [[Rome|Roman]] legion in the first film. It is possible that TARDIS was still recalibrating from its first, unprogrammed journey to Skaro or TARDIS was still readjusting itself from Ian and [[Barbara (Dalek movies)|Barbara]] knocking the control lever. | In spite of its nominal reliability, TARDIS landed in the middle of a [[Rome|Roman]] legion in the first film.
