Meanwhile in the TARDIS 1 was the first of two scenes produced exclusively for the Doctor Who: The Complete Fifth Series DVD and Blu-ray box sets. It was written by showrunner Steven Moffat.

The scene immediately follows DW: The Eleventh Hour, and immediately precedes DW: The Beast Below.

Plot

Amy asks the Eleventh Doctor many questions without pausing: how does the TARDIS retain its air supply? Why did he label a time machine "police box"? Where are the other windows which are on the exterior of the TARDIS? What is a police box and is the Doctor a policeman? Has he seen his haircut? Shouldn't he change the bulb on top the exterior of the TARDIS? She also thinks the box is made of wood and his bow tie is a cry for help.

The Doctor answers most of these questions, and is asked again by Amy if he's an alien. The Doctor informs Amy that, from his perspective, she's the alien. Amy wonders if the Doctor is a space squid or a tiny slug zipped in a human suit, but the Doctor dismisses her theories, stating he's as human in appearance as he appears. Amy admits she's done with her questions, but the Doctor tells her she's just begun; he throws a switch on the TARDIS console as he opens the door, showing her the cold void of space outside.

When Amy says it looks like special effects in a studio, the Doctor proves it's real by pushing her out of the TARDIS.

  • When asked why the TARDIS looks like a police box, the Doctor explains to Amy in detail how the chameleon circuit scans the surroundings upon materialisation, decides on the best disguise, but then disguises the craft as a 1963 police box anyway.
