The Doctor's TARDIS
The TARDIS[1] (English TARDIS — Time And Relative Dimension (s) In Space[2]) is a time machine and a spaceship from the British television series Doctor Who, which, as a living being, grew up[3] on the home planet of the Time Lords, Gallifrey, before it was moved to a parallel universe in the Time War.
The TARDIS can deliver its passengers to any point in time and space.
It could take any form for mimicry, but once this mechanism was broken, and now the Doctor's TARDIS always looks like a police box from 1963, but inside it is much larger than outside[4].
During takeoff and landing, it emits a characteristic, unlike anything else sound (Wroomp Wroomp), but in the series it was shown that this sound was made by an inertial damper, which the Doctor did not turn off.
The TARDIS in the classic series was also called simply "ship", " capsule "or even" police box","blue box".
Doctor Who has become such a significant part of British pop culture that not only has the shape of a blue police box become associated with the TARDIS, but the word "TARDIS" itself is used to describe something that is bigger from the inside than from the outside.[5]
The TARDIS is a registered trademark of the BBC. [6]
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the series, a two dollar coin with the image of the TARDIS was released in New Zealand[7][8][9][10].
In July 2013, a TARDIS appeared at London Heathrow Airport, as well as a cyberman[11].
There is an Easter egg in Google Maps, which consists of the opportunity to see the inside of a copy of the TARDIS standing in London[12].
The Tardis Canyon on Charon was named in her honor in 2015.

The history of the appearance[edit / edit wiki text]
The TARDIS model from 2005 to 2010
The TARDIS appears in the first episode of the Doctor Who series - "Unearthly Child", released in 1963.
The doctor claims that he borrowed an outdated car when he left his home planet.
As it turned out in the series "The Name of the Doctor", the First Doctor was going to take another TARDIS, but under the influence of one of the versions of Clara, Oswald changed his decision.
The fourth Doctor did not agree to replace his car with a newer one, motivating the refusal with the "lack of soul" of the new model.
A serviceable TARDIS is able to disguise itself as a variety of objects (for example, the Master's car looked like a grandfather clock, a horse van, an iron maiden, a column, a part of a computer, etc.), but the Doctor has it stuck in the guise of a public police phone booth, since it has a faulty disguise system — literally a "chameleon device" (although in the very first series, Susan Foreman mentions that she took the form of a Christmas tree and a sedan seat).
The Sixth Doctor tried to fix the disguise system once, and as a result, the TARDIS turned first into a painted column, and then into an organ, and both times completely out of place.
What exactly is the malfunction, it was never specified.
The TARDIS was already old when the Doctor took it, but exactly how ancient it is is unclear.
The Ninth Doctor claims that he has "900 years of traveling in a phone booth" behind him, meaning that his TARDIS is at least that old (and apparently even older).
The TARDIS device[edit / edit wiki text]
The TARDIS is grown, not produced.
They take energy from several sources, but primarily from the core of an artificial black hole[13], the Eye of Harmony, created by the legendary Time Lord Omega.
According to the Doctor, she was frozen in time.
The source of the TARDIS power (the "heart of the TARDIS") is located under the console, under the central column, the lifting and lowering of which shows that the machine is functioning.
Other elements necessary for the operation of the TARDIS are the rare ore "Zeiton 7" and "artron energy".
The latter is a form of temporal energy, the discovery of the Overlords.
Before the TARDIS begins to fully function, it is necessary to connect it with the biology of the Time Lord with the help of the Rassilon device, which gives a symbiotic connection with the TARDIS and the ability to withstand the physical stress of time travel.
Without this adaptation, molecular disintegration will follow.
This serves as a guarantee that there will be no abuse during time travel, even if the TARDIS technology is copied.
In the series "The End of the Journey", the Doctor tells: the controls are designed for six pilots, and he has to cope alone.
The Doctor's TARDIS shakes violently when moving, but in the series" Time of Angels "River Song controls it smoothly, using stabilizers (the Doctor calls them "boringers").
In addition, River makes a completely silent landing, explaining that the Doctor forgets to press the parking brake.
In response, the Doctor declares that he just likes the sound.
This does not explain the fact that the Master's TARDIS makes exactly the same sounds, although he controls it much more skillfully than the Doctor.
River also reports that she was taught by the best teacher.
We see in the series "Let's Kill Hitler" how she is trained by the TARDIS interface, which, also, previously communicated with the dying Doctor.
Exterior[edit / edit wiki text]
A TARDIS model from 2010
The appearance of the police box has not changed much, except for some cosmetic changes.
For example, the sign hiding the phone on the door changed — instead of black letters on a white background, white on black and white on blue appeared.
The spelling of the words on the panel also changed: from "Urgent calls" to "All calls".
The "Police Box" sign has not changed since season 18.
At some point, a first aid kit appeared on the door, but it did not last long.
In most series, the exterior doors of the booth act separately from the serious interior doors, although sometimes both sets can be opened in the same way, allowing passengers to look out and vice versa.
The entrance to the TARDIS is opened and locked from the outside with a key that the Doctor keeps with him, occasionally giving copies to his companions.
In the 2005 series, the key is also connected to the TARDIS — it is able to signal (by heating and glowing) the presence of a ship or a delay in its arrival.
The Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors are able to open the doors with a snap of their fingers.
Interior[edit / edit wiki text]
Even through the booth doors, you can see that the TARDIS is huge.
The capacity was not specified numerically (however, the doctor mentioned that it is infinite), but the ship accommodates, in addition to residential parts, an art gallery, a library, a swimming pool, a medical bay, a cricket court (before the Doctor's Wife series), several warehouses with brick walls, a multi level dressing room with a spiral staircase, etc.
Other rooms include living quarters for the Doctor's companions, while the Doctor's bedroom was not mentioned or shown.
There is also a Zero Room, which is protected from the rest of the universe and provides a calm environment.
The parts of the TARDIS can be isolated from each other or changed.
Some round objects hide the devices and mechanisms of the TARDIS, their design varies from the basics carved on a black background to photographic images printed on the walls and transparent luminous disks in later series.
In the series "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS", the Eleventh Doctor says that the ship is infinite.
In "The Name of the Doctor", the Doctor, having discovered a huge TARDIS on the planet Trenzalore, explains this by saying that if the TARDIS is broken, "The Ship takes its true dimensions".
From the premises of the ship, the console room is most often shown, where the control panel is located.
In the original series, the TARDIS has at least two control rooms — the main one, with white walls, of a futuristic look, very often used throughout the history of the series, and the second one, used during season 14, looks more ancient, with wooden panels.
Functions[edit / edit wiki text]
Movement in space and time.
Telepathic functions.
Computer functions.
The ability to translate all existing languages, except ancient Gallifreyan (Passengers of the TARDIS can not only understand all languages, but also speak them; this ability can remain for life: in the series" Angels capture Manhattan "Rory Williams managed to read the hieroglyphic inscription on a vase, being very far from the TARDIS); but there are exceptions: in the series "Impossible Planet" the TARDIS failed to translate the inscription on the fragments of the vase.
Also in the series "Time of Angels", the inscription on the" native box " remains unencrypted until the Doctor himself translates it, since it was written in ancient Gallifreyan — "the forgotten language of the Time Lords".
Protection from external enemies when closing doors.
The state of temporary non — aggression (English State of temporary grace) - the TARDIS automatically makes it impossible to use all types of weapons (an interesting example is given in the story "The Spear of Fate", where the Third Doctor, being inside the TARDIS, catches a spear thrown at him).
This state is unstable, and periodically turns off (for example, in the series "Let's Kill Hitler", Mels damages the TARDIS control panel with a pistol shot).
When materializing in a vacuum, the TARDIS creates a field around itself that holds the atmosphere.
This function is not automatic — in some series, when opening doors in a vacuum, air was blown out of the TARDIS.
Live TARDIS[edit / edit wiki text]
In the episode "The Doctor's Wife" (The Doctor's Wife), the Eleventh Doctor meets his TARDIS in the form of a woman.
The Doctor receives a message from a planet called "Home".
Such a message could only be sent by the Time Lords, and the Doctor goes in search of them, but finds only two strange creatures, uda and a crazy woman named Idris, who calls the Doctor her abductor.
The Doctor realizes that the TARDIS matrix has moved to Idris.
He likes that he can talk to his favorite car, but the woman's body is not able to withstand the flow of energy inherent in the TARDIS for a long time, and the matrix returns to the body of the car.
The doctor calls the TARDIS "old lady" and "sexy", she will always remain his faithful friend, but those days when they could talk, apparently, will not happen again[14][15][16].
Subsequently, the Doctor tried in vain to establish voice contact with the TARDIS, and they always had telepathic contact.
In some episodes, the TARDIS voice interface was shown, which is based on the Doctor's memories and appears in the form of people who played a special role in his life.
The actress who played the living embodiment of the TARDIS is Suranne Jones, known in the UK for her roles on television and in the theater.
Notes[edit / edit wiki text]
According to the established tradition, the TARDIS is written in capital letters, but in the series "World War III" the word was written as a name, only the first letter was capitalized (Tardis).
