A '''Stattenheim remote control''' was a device used by [[Time Lord]]s to control their [[TARDIS]]es after linking them to it.
 
==Mechanics==
 
The act of whistling was not technically required, but was useful to focus the mind to "call" the TARDIS to the user's location, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)|Timewyrm: Exodus]]'') as the Second Doctor did to summon his TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'')
 
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. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Black Hole (audio story)|The Black Hole]]''

==History==


{{Frontier|c}} created one to retrieve [[The Master's TARDIS|his TARDIS]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier (novel)|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. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)|Timewyrm: Exodus]]'')
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]]'')


The [[Second Doctor]]'s [[teleport control]] where he stored the recall disc of the remote gave dual control of his TARDIS to the Time Lords ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'') on Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Black Hole (audio story)|The Black Hole]]'')
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]]'')

Following the defeat of [[Chessene]] and the [[Sontaran]]s' plans to use the [[Kartz-Reimer module]], the Second Doctor held the Stattenheim remote control and whistled. [[The Doctor's TARDIS|His TARDIS]] then rematerialised at the Spanish hacienda he was in. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'')
The Master once tried to steal the Second Doctor's remote control, ([[GAME]]: ''[[Destiny of the Doctors (video game)|Destiny of the Doctors]]'') while [[The Master (First Frontier)|another incarnation]] created one to retrieve [[The Master's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] and escape [[1957]] [[Earth]].
