Shout out to Connor for some cracking editing on this one! Awesome job man
Agreed, Connor always does a fantastic job!
You’re too kind! Thank you!
@@connor_who I like to give a shout out every now and again as you guys don't get much of a mention
@@connor_who Kris is right you did amazing!
Thanks isac 👍
The reason why the TARDIS can be easily carried around, despite how large and heavy it is, was explained by the 4th Doctor. He showed how it worked to Leela, put a larger box in the distance, and held a smaller box closer to her, making it look larger. Transdimensional engineering. In other words, the "blue box" is NOT the TARDIS. It's just the doorway to the TARDIS. The inside is in another dimension. So in our dimension, it's just the weight of the 'doorway'. Yes, in that one episode he has to make the TARDIS lighter so Clara can pick it up. But that could likely have more to do with density than weight. When something large shrinks, it becomes more dense. Like a star shrinking into a dwarf star, the dwarf star may be smaller, but the density is much higher. So, he likely had to lessen the weight to counter the increased density of the small TARDIS. But ultimately, the blue box is just a doorway. The rest of it sits in another dimension. That's why it's bigger on the inside. It's not really. You're just walking through a doorway into another dimension.
The density argument doesn't work but it does remind me of the old "joke" question: what weighs more - a ton of coal or a ton of feathers? The answer being that they weigh the same.
Well, the doorway is not the TARDIS in much the way that my index finger is not Me. It is a part of the whole. The outer plasmic shell is mapped onto the interior continuum and driven by the real world interface of the chameleon circuit. But yeah, your density description is spot on. YOU try lifting a real Police Box with one hand! It isn't just because the shape is cumbersome, but wood is not w/out some heft when there is a lot of it. Imagine all the natives that have carried the TARDIS too and fro in different classic episodes, it has to be just a relative weight dependent upon the form the chameleon circuit has chosen. And yeah, I LOVE how he describes dimensional engineering to Leela, and her reaction. 😃
@@davidgould9431 I see what you are saying. Yes, taking the same weight and crushing it down in size would make it more dense, but, it's still the same weight. But maybe then it has to do with gravity? The smaller, more dense 'doorway' is now being pulled more strongly by the other dimension increasing the weight. Because the TARDIS harnesses the power of a singularity, so, there definitely has to be some gravitational pull going on between the TARDIS and the doorway to keep them in balance. So when the doorway become more dense, the pull from the other dimension became stronger, making it heavier. How about that? Either that or it's the special physics known as 'writer's physics'. 😂
Your doorway theory doesn't seem to hold up. The doorway to my house is still part of my house, regardless of what dimension the house is in. If you are accessing the TARDIS, then that access has to be part of the TARDIS. As to density v weight, you cannot reduce weight by rearranging mass. Damn, multi-dimensional physics is weird. Cheers.....
@@bazzer124 But the doorway to your house, and your house, are in the same dimension. They are part of the whole. Physically connected. In the case of the TARDIS, the doorway and the TARDIS are not physically connected. They are transdimensionally connected. So he can reduce weight by rearranging mass, if he's pushing off mass into the other dimension. Reducing the mass that is in this dimension. A better analogy than your house, would be the sun and earth. They are 'connected' through gravity. Not physically. Now put the sun in another dimension from the earth, and that's more like the TARDIS. A force holds the TARDIS and the doorway together. Not a physical connection.
The TARDIS still changes outside, just into a slightly different policebox each time. So much the inside doors eventually became Police Box doors.
My favorite official explanation of how the broken chameleon circuit works is that when they arrive in a new location, the TARDIS scans the environment for the most suitable disguise then turns into a 1960s police box regardless of the results. So, yeah, it's not stuck in one form, it's just limited to a small reference pool.
She scans her crew too - and since humans expect to exit the same transporting device they entered in the first place, she does not discourage them in their belief... Whatever she turns into, while being alone with River Song, is another matter - but being "The Blue Box" is reserved to the Doctor and his "strays".@@BrandonVout
I once had a crazy concept for a one-off Doctor Who story where the Doctor & co end up on a relatively safe and relatively boring holiday world... where the Tardis strands them there and goes off on her own adventure, a personal and mysterious secret rescue mission which is the main plot we follow, returning to a worried, humorously rather confused and annoyed Doctor at the end, while the companion(s) are simply enjoying this break from their usual adventures... can you imagine the shock after a cliffhanger opening where for no apparent reason and that not even the Doctor can explain, the Tardis dematerializes and leaves everyone behind, then basically we the audience then follow the Tardis' own adventure... without the Doctor or any companion..?
The Time Lord Victorious event had something like that where the TARDIS had a lot more agency.
I would love to see that.
I'd watch that, 100%!
That's a great idea!!
I can think of a scenario where elements already exist and the Doctor would be none the wiser.
Midnight.
I still hold to the theory that Susan coined the term TARDIS, and its meaning, as part of a Gallifreyan version of Blue Peter where they held a contest for naming of time capsules, and Susan won.
She did. In the very first episode, she says she came up with the nickname “TARDIS”
I attest that by naming the TARDIS, Susan created the English translation. It's called something else on Gallifrey, but since Susan's name exists, the TARDIS's translator replaces the Gallifreyan word with it.
Hooray for this channel broadening its scope beyond nuwho and wiki entries. Please keep using writers that love DW in all its forms and history 👏
Hip ..hip 😂😂😂
Really enjoyed this! I really hope they show more rooms inside the TARDIS in the future, always find it interesting, especially as the interior changes with each regeneration! I also secretly hope that russell t davies will start to reintroduce the use of the key to open the TARDIS door, something which we didn't really see much of in the chibnall era. I always enjoyed seeing the companion get their own key! Doesn't have to be a big romantic moment like with rose, my favourite was when donna got her key but was more concerned about avoiding choking to death on the sontaran gas! 😂😊
Susan said that she created the term "TARDIS", but we don't know when she did it, or how old she really is when we first see her. She could have created the word long before she left Gallifrey with The Doctor to travel with him.
Susan Foreman is the grandchild of our Doctor and a female Rassilon (our Doctors original wife)
Ashildur is the exact same as Susan Foreman but in the new Whoniverse but with our now former Doctor (that is our mankind eternal president (the same the female Rassilon was before the Mondasian mankind became the timelords) = our Doctor is slowly becoming like Rassilon and Clara is becoming the new Doctor (and grandmother to Ashildur) (the future wife of our Doctor) as CAL in the library was the raven save of Clara in the unfinished RIVERS (the new timemachine.
At som point our now former Doctor and future Clara/CAL will have to live thru history from atleast 4BCE until 5145AD without a working timemachine as the TARDIS is ascended (since the end of Twice upon a time) (The former ascended TARDIS became the Ghost monument, the Holy ghost monument 1/3 that created the new whoniverse. along with the Father and Child (Pandora or Jenny) (yes its a female savior this time around) in 97AD our former doctor (Peter Capaldis marble merchant) became the Eternal emperor and in about 400AD Merlin and in around 750AD the child that would give birth to Ashildur was spawned by CAL (remember the 2 chidlren in Fires of Pompeii and the marble merchants wife; wife = Clara)
ther is far more...just ask and ill tell
She didn’t have to have created the word TARDIS, she just came up with the acronym
That makes the most sense
@@kennethnystrom593 and in the non-canon but no less classic movies (Peter Cushing), Susan is a child.
@@andrewmurray1550 Yeep. I only got the whole bit about the Eternals to decode about Doctor Who left to do; as I suspect the Eternals are each new Whoniverse Celestial Toymakers that "survive" the end of each void (between related Whoniversis) because they had been banished from the other Guardians over time (those that fully ascend at the end of each whoniverse timewar; (Between the current and previous rulers over time (in the previous Whoniverse)).
(The Guardians over time really needed the key to time for the new Whoniverse to defend this ascentions) (the key to time was used to ascened the rulers over time at the end of each whoniverse timewar) (and as the Doctor´s froze Gallifrey in the same moment only the Gallifreyan high counsil fully asended in time; while the rest got trapped in an quantum locked Schrödingercat like state being both ascended and alive at the same time; read the new batch of weeping angels that defeats both the Guardians over time that no longer have the key to time and the new rulers over time (that no longer are under the proction of the Guardians) (Weeping angels try to undo thier fate getting trapped in that quantum state)
= Weeping angels of old are Rassilons original ppl (the Ragnarookians; aka the ppl from the end of time) and that have been sending all the timelords enemies toward the timelords including the Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans etc etc.
Just to mention a few things as each new whoniverse is on an eternal repeat leading to the birth of the current whoniverse Doctor in the previous Whoniverse....
aka the never ending story/song
My headcanon is that Susan made the English name for the TARDIS.
This was then added to the translation circuit and that's why we hear other Time Lords use the name.
that wheezing noise, you know the one i grew up with, always makes me happy! yes i remember hiding behind the sofa as a tiney child watching tom baker+SJS
I'm almost 50
Dr Who has been a constant throughout my time so far
Thanks for even I got something new here
Same here and I'm 58 😛
leave the {tom baker version} perfection alone
My wife's car is TARDIS blue, has a TARDIS license plate, a TARDIS family on the back window, AND plays the wheezing noise when you start it up.
Is this car shaped like a police box and can disappear AND can travel through time?
@@thelarryman482 No, it's shaped like a Honda. My garden shed, on the other hand....
@@Trebuchet48 * insert TARDIS noise here *
I WANT YOUR CAR!!!
Definitely understand your love for River. I love her too! :)
The Third Doctor heard the wheezing sound a couple of times without a TARDIS when the Time Lord warned him about the Master and when the missing part was returned.
Yup. It's essentially the sound of something traveling in and out of the Time-Vortex, which is why other TARDISes, a Time-Lord, and the new dematerialization circuit (that you referenced above) have all made that sound.
in my head-canon, the time lord in Terror of the Autons has his very advanced tardis disguised as his cane, so we were indeed hearing the sound of his tardis
@@corvus1970 river song says it's because the doctor leaves the "handbrake" on....but from the sound of her voice sounds tongue-in-cheek to me and just "her" explanation.
@corvus1970 And the sound formed part of the noises heard when the First Doctor regenerated. At the time, it seemed that the regeneration process drew on the same energy or process that enabked time travel.
@@zyg9Invisible TARDIS hovering. The Second Doctor's TARDIS went invisible once and very nearly hovered once.
0:15 don’t forget Amy and Rory. “The Power of 3 😂 😂😂
I'd actually rather not explore other TARDIS types in detail, it takes away from the mystery and potentially even reduces the one that we're all in love with. It's the same reason we should never learn of the Doctor's true name, and why we shouldn't have had a proper origin story for him either.
I'm sorry, but the Doctor's greatest companion is Ace, as she is the only one to have smashed up a Dalek with a baseball bat. That's just science.
Yeah a heavily modified baseball bat...
I want a story of a type 1 TARDIS on the loose and the Doctor encounters it reaking havoc on a random planet
"... this most iconic of phone boxes!"
You mean like that it's not a phone box? XD
For the record... The TARDIS sound was my ringtone a full two years before it was Kate's. Snagged and edited a clip from YT, converted it over and Bob's your uncle. I'll admit the look on my face when hearing Kate's ringtone made my wife ask "Honey, what's wrong? You love this show." I felt like a kid who just dropped his ice cream cone into the dirt.
This is fascinating. Love the topic. 😍💕❤️ More please
I love River song and hope she comes back at some point but I can see why the TARDIS is the greatest companion.
I so wanted River to meet 13!!!
I _know_ that my favorite companion isn't the "best" companion. I just really like Martha. She was sassy, warm, and fiercely intelligent. I wish we could have seen more of her.
I can't quite decide between Martha and Donna (being in the U.S. and having seen very few of the pre-reboot series). Martha is certainly more competent, but Donna is so downright funny. Still, neither will make very few lists of the "most favorite" companion.
Since you wished really, really hard I think you'll find that one particular wish is going to be coming true 😉
@@FahadAyaz I hope so. I've been deliberately avoiding all the trailers for the 60th special. I want to be surprised.
It's possible you may have mentioned how much you love River Song, but surely it can't have been more than once or twice 😄
The sound of the TARDIS taking off and landing does indeed sound like a key on wire strings as that is how Brian Hodgson actually made the iconic sound - his mother’s front door key to be precise. Also, one thing a lot of people get wrong is what TARDIS stands for. Often it is shown as Time and Relative Dimensions in Space, but, in an Unearthly Child, Susan uses Time and Relative Dimension in Space - no 's' at the end of 'Dimension'. Even throughout the shows run it has been described with Dimensions.
Indeed, although I always felt that "dimension" was a big mistake by the writers. Which (singular) spatial dimension does it refer to, when we know that there are at least three? Dimensions (plural) makes far more sense.
But Jeff, we KNOW that Susan didn't make up the name, except in her own childish fantasies, or that isn't what they would've been called throughout the entire history of the show except for that one episode. For example, the Monk, who had been off of Gallifrey for centuries, called it that, and Susan wasn't supposed to be that old. 90 is a child to Gallifreyans, but centuries? Nah.
@@MaryAnnNytowl Not really - it is more of a case of Doctor Who canon being retconned to take account of the way the show changed over the years and decades. At the time of the first broadcast of ‘An Unearthly Child’, Susan may have come up with the word TARDIS as she claims. At that time, Time Lords, regeneration, Gallifrey and the existence of other TARDIS’ were not even on the horizon. As for Susan’s age, it is never revealed if she is a Time Lord or not, so, she could be pretty old, but in a young incarnation of one of her regenerations.
@ftumschk As I (possibly mis)understood it, the "Dimension" is the one relative to time.
In space.
@jeffwalker7185 The First Doctor stated that he built the TARDIS. Not invented, and not grew. This was interpreted to mean that he was an engineer originally.
I'd always heard that the TARDIS was infinitely large on the inside. Floors and corridors going on forever. But in recent years I think there have been a few remarks that contradict that.
The first example I remember of them putting limits on it was Logopolis, but there could be earlier examples I've forgotten.
The interior rooms can be added or removed as needed. At least once, the Doctor had to delete rooms to save energy since they couldn't refuel on Gallifrey anymore, instead relying on a less efficient method. The actual interior size changes over the years depending on how many rooms are needed for companions, but the Doctor's TARDIS should be on the small size
During the Time-War the Timelords also used the Battle-TARDIS, a amored version with attacke capability
08:20
According to the _Doctor Who Visual Dictionary,_ the TARDIS is meant to be manned by a crew of six, hence the hexagonal console.
There’s a hidden fez rack in the TARDIS, true story!
Small correction on the silent mode. It's true, it was used in the Impossible astronaut, but that's the only case of it. Landing on Trenzalore wasn't really a landing, more like falling and crash-landing. The TARDIS didn't want to land, so the old girl parked in Trenzalore's orbit and shutt down every system, except anti-grav, which then the Doctor shuts down himself and makes the TARDIS fall. That's why the window on the door cracked. It's like saying a car could go downhill on silent mode (if it had one). Sure it could, but why doing that, when you only need to push it far enaugh to make the gravity do the rest and shut the engine completely on the way. The TARDIS didn't land on Trenzalore and certainly not in silent mode. The gravity of the planet did the job.
Thats my girl, best ship in the universe!!
The Master also had a Type 75 - it's a shame we barely got to see the difference between that and the Doc's Type 40
We never even got to see his Type 45 either
It'll always be river and the ponds for me, river and I share an irl birthday and she's one of my idols
@ 2:58 The Seventh Doctor begs to differ!
@ 6:22 I use the TARDIS wheezing sound as my notification sound for email, texts msgs, other, etc., etc....... and the 12th Doctor's Main title theme for my ringtone.
In Arc of Infinity, Omega tells the Doctor that he will build another Tardis after the Doctor destroyed his.
I think Susan was just trying to impress the natives by saying she came up with the name and making a "backronym".
Little theory on the chameleon circuit, in The Day of the Doctor the computation to put Gallifrey into stasis lock took hundreds of years. What if that program is what broke the circuit, the Tardis couldn't allocate enough ram for both.
Ace's reference to the TARDIS noise sounding like a key being dragged along a wire is because that's actually how the sound was created. It's a key being dragged along a piano string. I remember it from a CBBC show all about Delia Derbyshire and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop :)
great editing.
FANTASTIC EPISODE ❤
THANK YOU
I was hoping you'd address the long-standing misnomer (among fans at least, not sure about on-screen) that refers to the rising/falling central column of the console as the "time rotor". A further extension to this sometimes claims an added significance to it rotating. I believe this arose from an early classic story in which there was a rotating dial referred to as the time rotor, and I suppose the novelisation of the story didn't make it clear that this was not the central column. Today if you say "time rotor", I think it's generally accepted that it's the central column. I'd love to hear more about the origins of all this.
I think the Doctor is the Tardis’ companion, she’s the one in control ;)
How old was the doctor when the tardis stole him? Did he leave his wife and kids to run around the universe? I wonder if he carries regret for that. Maybe if he was home he could have saved them and that’s why he adopted the earth and travels with earth children. Since this is the one he chose over his own.. 😮😢🤯
I’ve never had that thought before.
I'm with you, Ellie. River -- 100%
I love the idea that the brakes thing with the TARDIS is true and every single time lord flies them wrong and the manuals all have the brakes labelled as 'silent mode'. Only river, who was taught how to fly by the TARDIS itself, knows how to use the handbrake.
1:35 says the chameleon circuit was "never" fixed,
then immediately shows clip of that time the chameleon circuit was fixed
There's another misconception about the TARDIS, or rather about the fact, that the 10th Doctor gave his Meta crisis clone a crystal, or thing to grow his own. It's that even with his own TARDIS, the Meta-10 would only adventure with Rose within Pete's world boundaries. It was pretty much clearly stated, that travel across dimensions was a thing, when the Timelords were around, but that changed after the Time War and the 10th Doctor got to Pete's world only by accident initially, later the borders were weak due to all the Dalek shenanigans, aka Reality bomb plotline. But after that plotline was solved, the borders closed again. So unless the Meta-10 decides to replicate Mickey's accident, it should be impossible for him and Rose to cross over to the main universe.
Later the 11th had to jetison some rooms and had also the House to delete some rooms to cross over to and from that bubble universe, that House lived in. Crossing dimensions and universes isn't the easiest thing, as we've learned, rather being almost impossible and could only happen by accidents, or deliberate measurements. So yea, Meta-10 and Rose having their own TARDIS would still limit them to Pete's world.
The TARDIS' weight is pretty consistent in that it only weighs as much as the thing it's disguised as with the exception of when something like parking it where high tide comes in because one of its defense mechanisms is that when something like that happens to it, it gets stuck in place.
I’ve always wondered what the 11th Doctor did to change his TARDIS interior. Was it like in Eve of the Daleks where the Doctor just ran out of the TARDIS right before it reset?
The ship had been (almost) destroyed so it rebuilt itself, probably from a catalogue of interior designs.
@@thelarryman482 But when did it get destroyed? We never saw that. All of a sudden, it just changed in The Snowmen for no reason.
@@captainstage2009 oh right you mean then. I have no idea - it confuses me.
@@captainstage2009 ok that's just the doctor wanting to re decorate because he lost Amy and rory
@@TimeMasterOG How does losing Amy & Rory have anything to do w/ redecorating his TARDIS? I wish we had a comic or something that showed the Doctor doing this. I’d love to see an Eve of the Daleks style thing where he’s running out of the TARDIS as it resets and changes into his other one.
Didn't the Ninth Doctor very deliberately drop Adam back at home without fixing the thing in his head, telling him "You're going to have to live a very quiet life!"
To me, that reads as what the doctor would consider punishment for Adam's hubris - and the rest of us will probably consider a sadistic nasty trick. It's far from the first time the doctor has doled out a punishment that shows just how coldly angry he is capable of being….
Ellie, you River is showing. ❤️
In the extended canon it is said that the TARDIS is matched with their Time Lord as it grows to devolope a bond between the two in fact that there are types of the TARDIS thats drove their pilot crazy because of the neural link. There are newer types that can merge with their pilot when not in use and another that can transform into a travel companion when not needed to be a vessel.
yeah but the Doc had to take the one Clara suggested....apparently .....in a weird twisted wibbley wobbley time line.
The best companion is obviously handles without a doubt
I thought the police box thing was also a production decision - saves having to have a different prop representing the TARDIS every episode. Although I recall the Master's tardis being different things, a roman column or fireplace etc.
The TARDIS seems a lot like another bio-organic ship - the creature/ship called "Tin Man" in the Star Trek, TNG episode of the same name. I wonder how much they borrowed the idea from Doctor Who - though of course, it seems unlikely that Tin Man had time travel abilities.
Pretty sure River Songs little brandy stash is the same one as the doctors, due to Twice Upon A Time when the "Hartnell" doctor mentions it getting low and Capaldi's doctor looks shocked before making a whitty remark.
To Echo an earlier comment - River isn't what we are classing as companion. The Doctor has never indicated who he preferred over his incarnations as a favourite (he 'loves' them all for different reasons). As for the TARDIS roundels on the walls - Yes they are important because the TARDIS created them for the Control Room (desktop) for each new incarnation of the Doctor. One Doctor was even put into a 'coffin' made from the roundel panels to help his regeneration along. So they have a function as designated by the Tardis each time she builds a new Control Room
It would be cool if Ncuti got a TARDIS episode where the different types are more explored. We did get to see deep into 11's TARDIS after all.
Susan did make up the initials, in English. Any mention of calling the TARDIS the "" TARDIS "" is because that's what it is in English and the speaker is most likely being translated by the TARDIS in English
4:50 i think TARDIS can controll his mass (shrunked she or unshrunked)
6:00 i think TARDIS is correct and Tardis is correct to, becouse name of the Doctor's TARDIS is Tardis
10:03 doctor have two TARDISes (how i remember) type 50 or 55 (in past) and type 40 (i think you know about this)
tardis type 1 can "back in past for 5 minutes, and then explode"
I love the TARDIS. She's my favourite of the Doctor's companions.
Here's one: is the "real" acronym for the TARDIS Relative Dimension or Relative DimensionS? I've heard it both ways from the Doctor so I guess it's a judgment call? Personally prefer the singular as it seems hard enough to put a big box in a small box without having to keep stuffing different big boxes into small boxes. Cheers....
We talked about this in another video - and the singular is generally accepted as the more “correct” version
@@WhoCulture as it should be! Cheers....
A box takes up _three_ dimensions, as there are at least three dimensions in space, and TARDISes move through all of them - not just one.
@@ftumschk don't forget the space/time dimension, so four in our physical universe. However, the TARDIS interior occupies a different dimension, say a 5th for the sake of argument. A singular, additional dimension composed of L x W x H x time + another unknown quantity. Cheers....
@@bazzer124 Indeed, but I specifically referred to the three _spatial_ dimensions... or "dimensions (plural) in space", if you will :)
Riversong was jesting of course. My own theory is that a TARDIS can be put in silent mode, but it uses a lot more Artron Energy than usual to do so.
Minor point of pedantry. A lot of style guides - including the BBC's - say that if an acronym is pronounced you write it capitalised: Tardis, Radar, Nato, Unesco etc.. You only write it as full caps if you pronounce each individual letter: UN, BBC, USA, NHS. So, spelling it 'Tardis' isn't, necessarily, incorrect.
This is yet another excellent collection, and I'm leaving a very well-deserved like and comment for the Almighty Algorithm, so that it may put your work in front of many more faces!
The time rotor isn't what you think it is
Captain Jack was trying to grow his own TARDIS if you watch episodes of Torchwood in Jack's office there is something coral like, that is a TARDIS
The round things or whatever actually can be used to store things in, I think
I've wondered if part of the reason for the name is that it sometimes shows up late, after the villain plot is already underway, "tardy" meaning late. It could also be a linguistic overreach on my part.
My theory about the TARDIS name being seemingly universally known even by Time Lords, is The Doctor's adventures spreading the name over the universe and translation circuits of the TARDIS simply kickin' in, picking up on the now well known term. The Time Lords are not using the term actively, it's just being translated as such.
It would also explain the term's English origin, as Susan at the time was studying in England.
Raising my hand. Why did the Time Lords even create time traveling devices? Aside from the Doctor and the Master there doesn’t seem to be any indication that the other Time Lords have, or are currently, been flitting through time.
The Tardis only needs one pilot. It's not my fault that RTD didn't research the history of the console properly. Peter Brachacki designed the central hexagonal console, designed so that all controls should be equally accessible to a single pilot.
My favorite is the type 90, the war TARDIS. So massive that they can't take small forms, so they land and have to take shapes like cathedrals and other large strutures. -grins- And would the race they stole the seeds from be the Sphinxes? Because that'd make since since they were sentient human shaped TARDISes and they're the ones who ultimately invented the bottle universe.
who are the Sphinxes
@@infishinizleandbeyond894 not sure which medium they were in, but they were a race of humanoid TARDIS, fully sentient and capable of walking through space and time. They created an ultimate power source, the bottle universe. The doctor ended up with it, and tried to end the fighting by throwing it into the vortex and as a result it opened. Blending a new universe into the old and is what's to blame when continuity errors crop up.
At the end you forgot to mention crispy prooooo
I'm beginning to wonder if the Timelords actually did anything. The Doctor is no longer a Gallifreyan and TARDIS seeds were found somewhere. Ever since The Deadly Assassin (as opposed to non-deadly assassins) Timelords have had their initial grandeur eroded. Their arrival in The War Games was amazing, Now they're just people in funny hats.
it IS Nardole, thank you for the representation
One day I'll find another human that's favorite companion is Rory.... one day
Well he IS the pretty one.
Rory is my second favourite! (Amy is number one). Though if you count the Ponds as one companion, I guess he's number one too
@@danthemeegs8751 I'll take that - the two do go hand in hand tbf
I like Rory! A little awkward, a little nerdy, very loyal...and a nurse.
Thank you Ellie .
If the scene from the Doctor/Donna where he gives the mortal Doctor a chunk of Tardis was deleted, then why have I seen it many times??? Broadcast on BBC Channel here in the states, years ago.
Hey Nardal is fun! Maybe not the greatest, but at least honest and funny!
Who is the ultimate companion? Brigadier leftwich stewart! hands down! out of all companions he has been I'm most in the doctors lives having met doctors number 1,2,3,4,5,7 and 11. Few companions see the doctor across multiple regenerations, most see one or two sides of the Dr where as the Brigadier has seen so many aspects of them - even if you argue Clara, technically has been involved in all of the Drs regeneration, every incantation of his is a unique separate being and she doesn't share the memory.
Spelling Tardis in all-caps is definitely a newfangled thing. I use initial capital only since that's the way it was when I first watched it.
5:35 TARDIS is acronym, for time and relative dimension et cetera et cetera, but I think that the name of Doctor’s TARDIS is Tardis, or Baby
6:31 “A key being dragged along a wire.”

I'm now wondering if the Bowships were old type Tardis?
The Doctor and the TARDIS next stop everywhere
Nice!
I heard the show is going to make a spin off set around unit, if so this would be a great opportunity for David t to reprise his role as the doctor, however not the doctor doctor I'm talking about the metacrices doctor.
He could grow his own Tardis and set off on a test run, however he loses control and ends up at the base of unit possibly losing his memory, this could also introduce a new type 45 tardis with a working comeleon circuit, however the doctor would forget how to use it in the first few episodes. This would also please the who fans who wanted David to return and it would be a change for him to play a doctor that wasn't the doctor but a doctor who could evolve into a good or angry cold doctor
UNIT, please 😂
@@TheUberfan yes I heard there's going to be a unit spin off
Headcanon: other Time Lords and whatnot calling a time machine "TARDIS" can be chalked up to Translation Convention. The TLs and other aliens aren't speaking English after all.
7:25 I mean, it provably does only *need* one pilot. It is *designed* for multiple
Huh. You mentioned when River said the noise was because the Doctor left the brake on, and then said how much you love River. Funny, because it was that exact line that made me go from disliking her to absolutely hating her.
I wish they made an episode on the type 89 TARDIS
What Ellie and WhoCulture get wrong is assuming all this stuff is canon.
Of course strictly speaking there is no such thing as doctor who canon. But a lot of sources she cited such as comics, short stories, and certain novels are definitely not canon. Other sources of dwho media which are just as canonical (if not moreso) contradict some of the claims in this video. The only things that are 100% doctor who canon are events depicted in tv episodes of doctor who. When it comes to anything else, canon is in the eye of the beholder. Much of what she says in this video is not definitively unambiguously "right" and no show writer would be expected to adhere to it
I do have the feeling you really like River Song. Oops, hope I don't reveal any ... spoilers.
I wont lie, Nardole is a self-insert for me 😂
6:24 VWORP! VWORP!
Mine is Clara, or yeah the TARDIS, or sonic screwdriver even though the latter most is not sentient where the other two are
I have a theory when rose was sent back home in the bad wolf arc, I think the tardis saw that rose played a massive part and would become the bad wolf, it saw her looking into the heart of itself thus why it opened the panel letting rose look inside. In other words the tardis like the doctor saw what was what could be and what should be. This brings me to a dark theory that the souls of a tardis are souls of timelords that have passed away.
TARDIS has been an acronym since the very beginning…
