'''''Meanwhile in the TARDIS''''' is the title of two mini-scenes produced exclusively for the ''[[Doctor Who]]'': The Complete Fifth Series DVD and Blu-ray box sets. They were written by [[head writer|showrunner]] [[Steven Moffat]].
== Plot ==
=== [[Meanwhile in the TARDIS 1|First Episode]] ===
[[Amy Pond|Amy]] asks the [[Eleventh Doctor]] many questions without pausing: how does [[The Doctor's TARDIS|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 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. Amy asks again if he's an alien. The Doctor says 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 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, opens the door and show her outer space.
'''''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 [[head writer|showrunner]] [[Steven Moffat]].  


When Amy says it looks like special effects in a studio, the Doctor proves it's real by pushing her out of the TARDIS.
The scene immediately follows [[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'', and immediately precedes  [[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below]]''.


=== [[Meanwhile in the TARDIS 2|Second Episode]] ===
== Plot ==
At midnight, 26 June 2010, after almost being seduced by Amy, the Doctor forces her back into the TARDIS. She leans on the console with an expectant gaze directed at the Doctor, who ignores it and pulls the door release lever next to her to lock the TARDIS doors.
 
Amy asks if she did something wrong. She thinks she is getting "mixed messages" from the Doctor. She unlocks the doors. The Doctor re-locks them and asks Amy how she's getting mixed messages. Amy says he showed up in the middle of the night to take her for a ride in his time machine. Amy insists that it's an obvious signal, telling her to "Get your coat, love, the Doctor's in."
 
The Doctor hurriedly explains he didn't bring her with him because he found her attractive. He proudly insists that he's like [[Gandalf]] in space. Amy says he acts like a regular bloke, showing off for the girls and laughing at other guys, making fun of Rory's nose.
 
The Doctor tells Amy that he can't "see it" any more. He's made time and space his back yard for over nine hundred years, so everything about it is now just facts to him. But Amy can "see it", which lets the Doctor see it as well. That is his only reason. Amy wonders if there have been others before her.
 
The Doctor reluctantly admits that he's had "a few" companions, but Amy won't let go. She wonders how many were girls. The Doctor admits girls made up "a bit over half" of his companions. Amy tricks the Doctor into accessing the TARDIS's visual records. To his dismay, the TARDIS plays black and white visual records on the screen of many female companions -- leaving out the men and [[K9]] -- from [[Barbara Wright]] to [[Donna Noble]], in random order. Amy wonders about one of the Fourth Doctor's companions, [[Leela]]. She appears repeatedly in a leather bikini.
 
Embarrassed, the Doctor decides to collect [[Rory Williams|Rory]] to have Amy focus on her life. Amy informs him Rory is having his bachelor party. With a smirk, the Doctor tells her, "Well, let's make it a great one" before starting up the TARDIS and flying to the early evening of 25 June 2010.
