TARDIS exterior (Rose)
During the Doctor's TARDIS's use by the Eighth, War, Ninth, and Tenth Doctors, its outer shell had a distinct TARDIS police box exterior design.
One account indicated this was the seventh major design of the Doctor's TARDIS exterior. (PROSE: TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual [+]Loading...["TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual (reference book)"])
Design
Its sides were panelled, with four panels per slat and two slats per side, with the highest panel being six-segment blue-frame windows.
The TARDIS doors opened inward and had a door handle on the right door. The TARDIS lock was located on the left side of the right door, between the two middle panels.
The left door had a telephone panel with black writing on a white background.
The Police Public Call Box signs had yellowy writing on a black background, with back-lighting. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], et al.)
