History[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Eleventh Doctor's second TARDIS control room design featured the Gallifreyan symbols on rotating sections above the main console and time rotor, as well as along the border of the main entrance. (TV: The Snowmen)
The Whisper Men showed Clarence DeMarco a map that he had to memorise in Gallifreyan that they demanded he give to Madame Vastra. (HOMEVID: Clarence and the Whispermen) These were space-time coordinates which led to Trenzalore, the final resting place of the Doctor following the Siege of Trenzalore. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)
The Moment, the most powerful weapon of war ever designed, had these symbols carved onto it. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
These symbols were written on the sides of the TARDIS exterior after it had entered siege mode. (TV: Flatline)
As it was designed to be a parallel to the Moment, the Osgood Box had these symbols carved onto its sides. (TV: The Zygon Inversion)
