Note: This article is written from a real world perspective

Meanwhile in the TARDIS is the name given to two mini-scenes set during Series 5 of Doctor Who, which were made available on the Blu-Ray and DVD releases of that series.

First Episode

The first Meanwhile in the TARDIS bridged The Eleventh Hour and The Beast Below. The episode was mainly composed of the usual "companion-first-starting-out" questions. Amy asked the Doctor the following:

Why the bow-tie, if the TARDIS is made of wood then why doesn't the air get out, does he really look human, etc.

He finally showed her that they were in space, and pushed her out of the TARDIS.

Second Episode

The second "Meanwhile in the TARDIS" bridged Flesh and Stone and The Vampires of Venice. The episode directly continued after Amy's seduction attempts on the Doctor. She went right into the TARDIS while the Doctor ignored her for a minute, She then started to talk about how she's getting "mixed messages" about his taking her with him in the TARDIS. He eventually tells her that he doesn't "see it". He starts to explain that making space your "backyard" for 907 years, everything jist becomes "stuff" but that she can see it. She ignores that theory and wonders if there were other companions. He responds very shyly and says "some, maybe a few....". She asks if she could see the visual records. The Doctor explains that they're "voice locked". So Amy tries to open them by saying a command. When the Doctor corrects her by explaining that a voice lock only responds to his voice while inadvertently says the command, so then pictures of all companions appeared on the visualizer. When Amy starts making fun of him about all of his companions, he decides that it's time to get Rory, and then the start of Vampires of Venice begins in the following complete episode of the series.
