Talk:The Doctor's TARDIS

"not inconceivable " this seems to contradict itself. should it be changed? TARDY- No Im Not Late 01:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

speed in the vortex

Some people point out that in the opening credits the tardis travels faster in the red vortex than in the blue one.

Vortex colours;

• Red= tardis traveling into the future
• Blue=travel into the past

The time winds flow into the relative future so more energy is required to travel into the past and the tardis goes slower. --Reecei 09:56, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Can you cite a source for this? (ie a TV/novel/audio drama/comic/short story etc) (Other than it being a theory?) --Tangerineduel 13:48, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

When Matt Smith is shown the new TARDIS in the Doctor Who Confidential episode "Call Me the Doctor", on of the controls allows the TARDIS to move forwards in time, backwards in time, and at double speed. It can therefore be assumed that the Doctor has accelerated to double speed when he enters the red vortex. -Unhari 16:29, April 6, 2010

Chameleon circuit

Whilst the circuit is broken, could it still be said that the exterior of the TARDIS still functions to a limited degree or still capable of minor alterations? It would explain the various changes in the design over the different years and props (compare the TARDIS in Spearhead from Space to Rose). Taccer 07 21:37, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

a popular fan theory. I think that one of the novels, audios, etc., has addressed this, but I don't know what specific ones, if any. --Stardizzy2 22:58, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

In http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_End_of_Time_%28TV_story%29 the doctor hides the TARDIS from seeing, does that means he used the chameleon circuit?--Gridcube 16:51, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

The BIG TARDIS

As I just added in a Behind the Scenes, Paul Cornell -- who has considerable Doctor Who bona fides -- wrote in his web comic for the BBC Writers' Comics webpage that the TARDIS can expand large enough to hold the entire Earth inside. This seems unlikely given had the TARDIS had this ability it would have made towing the Earth back from the Medusa Cascade a lot easier (and numerous other situations could have been resolved going all the way back to the 1960s). All that said, there might be a novel or comic or even episode that supports this - if so, then this probably can be moved into the main article. 23skidoo 22:16, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Well...in NA: Blood Heat it's Ace I think who materialises the TARDIS around the Earth, placing everything in state of grace, it doesn't cope too well with this, but it does do it (it should be noted though that this TARDIS was the Third Doctor's TARDIS from an alternate universe where he died, but following this story the Doctor appropiated said TARDIS).

Then there's ]]EDA]]: The Bodysnatchers, which is stated somewhere near the end about the TARDIS doors being able to be any-size they need to be and they're not constrained by the dimensions of the Police box shape.

I'm vaguely sure that TARDISes in general have been described as mini-universes, if that's taken literally then the whole TARDIS within a TARDIS thing in DW: The Time Monster and Logopolis takes on a new perspective. I think the mini-universe statement may have come from EDA: Alien Bodies (somewhere about the birthing of a TARDIS). --Tangerineduel 06:35, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Main Picture

The old picture of the tardis should be put back on top. This one is too big. Also, the new Tardis interior was previously removed, since series 5 hasn't aired yet, so this should be removed too.Gowron8472 17:55, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Library and Swimming Pool

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the implication in the comment about a swimming pool in the library at the start of The Eleventh Hour that the pool had *fallen in* while the TARDIS was sideways, not that it was normally kept there?

I agree - this mistake is made twice on the Doctor's TARDIS page, once under "Library", and once under "Others" - Unhari 16:32, April 6, 2010 (UTC)Unhari
