Following a stopover in [[1963]] [[London]], [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] was stuck with the [[Outer plasmic shell|exterior shape]] of a telephone box, specifically a [[police box]], due to a malfunction in its [[chameleon circuit]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Cave of Skulls]]") As the [[First Doctor]] explained to [[Ian Chesterton]] and [[Barbara Wright]], the box was an [[entrance chamber]] to a [[fourth dimension]], leading directly into the [[control room]].

The Doctor would continue to refer to his TARDIS as a "box" all throughout their lives; the [[Eleventh Doctor]] called himself "a madman with a box" ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'') and, while believing he was dying, looked back on his [[story]] as that of "a daft old man who stole a [[magic]] box and ran away". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'') His [[Twelfth Doctor|next regeneration]], at a turning point in understanding himself, proclaimed himself "an idiot! With a box, and [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|a screwdriver]]!". ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') | |||
[[Pandora's box]] was a legendary item to which the [[Pandorica]] bore a resemblance. Before he was made aware of its true nature by the [[Dalek]] members of [[The Alliance (The Pandorica Opens)|the Alliance]], the Eleventh Doctor also derisively called the Pandorica "a box".

An advanced, interactive computer who served as [[Liz Shaw]]'s companion shortly before her retirement from the [[Preternatural Research Bureau]] also went by the name of [[Box (When to Die)|Box]], as, indeed, she resembled one. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[When to Die (home video)|When to Die]]'') | |||
