A '''Stattenheim remote control''' was a device used by [[Time Lord]]s to control their [[TARDIS]]es after linking them to it.


[[The Rani]] and the [[Second Doctor]] each had used a Stattenheim remote control for their TARDISes ([[DW]]: ''[[The Mark of the Rani]]'', ''[[The Two Doctors]]'') as did [[The Master (First Frontier)|the Master]], who created one to retrieve his [[The Master's TARDIS|TARDIS]]. ([[NA]]: ''[[First Frontier]]'') The act of whistling was not technically required, but was useful to focus the mind to 'call' the TARDIS to the user's location. ([[NA]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus]]'')

The Rani's remote looked like a black control with one button ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mark of the Rani (TV story)|The Mark of the Rani]]'') while the Second Doctor's looked like a small rod with a recall disc on one side and gold prongs on the opposite to insert inside the [[teleport control]] dome of his TARDIS console, which gave dual control of his TARDIS to the Time Lords ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'') on Gallifrey.

==History==
 
When reflecting on how [[the War Chief]]'s [[SIDRAT]]s possessed dimensional flexibility and remote control, the [[Second Doctor]] remarked that "in [his] day" those were impossible to achieve without shortening the lifespan of the time machine. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'') Later the [[Tremas Master]] commented that [[the Rani]] had "discovered the means" of controlling a TARDIS by remote. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mark of the Rani (TV story)|The Mark of the Rani]]'')
 
When the [[Sixth Doctor]] asked the Second Doctor where he had got a Stattenheim remote control, the Second Doctor said that "Some of us have earned these little privileges." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'') According to one account, he had been granted his remote control by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]'') According to another account this remote was given to him by {{Hound}} who stole it from [[Pavo]], in order to get [[the Doctor]] away from himself. When the Doctor attached it to his TARDIS, it synchronised it with those back on [[Gallifrey]], changing its interior appearance. It also created a dual control, allowing Gallifrey to control his TARDIS. Though the Monk reassured him that they'd be unaware of whose TARDIS was linked, merely directing the TARDIS to the input [[coordinate]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Black Hole (audio story)|The Black Hole]]'')
