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]]'') He referred to the TARDIS's physical shell as "the box" when the [[heart of the TARDIS]] wrenched back control of said shell from [[House (The Doctor's Wife)|House]], declaring that "now she [was] back in the box again". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'') 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]]!".

Despite [[Operation Divide and Conquer|forming an alliance]] with the Daleks, {{Delgado}} privately grumbled them off as "[[Stupidity|stupid]] [[tin]] boxes", in a contemptuous reference to their [[casing]]s.

[[The Moment]]'s true form was a small box. When its interface spoke to the [[War Doctor]] during the [[Fall of Gallifrey]], it sarcastically noted that "stuck between a girl and a box" summarised his life rather well. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') Inspired by that adventure, the Doctor helped secure the peace of [[Operation Double]] via two, empty, [[Osgood Box]]es.
