"Doctor who" is a series that progresses in the changesSo much so that even his two main characters - the doctor and their companion - cannot depend on holding around next season. Even the little things that fans could take for granted, as the basic shape of the doctor's sound screwdriver or the general idea of ​​a doctor who keeps consistent clothing can accidentally be kicked out at the moment you notice.

The only real constant is Tardis, a confidential blue box of the doctor traveling through time and space and is somehow larger inside. Accordingly, the term "Tardis" alone stands for "time and relative dimension in space". It is a term allegedly invented by the doctor First companion Susan (Carol Ann Ford)But all the time the lords we will see later in the show would be their time machines of the same name. I guess Susan's nickname quickly caught! (The serious answer here is that it took some time for a "doctor who" Writers to understand things in the early seasons, so there are very little inconsistencies like this.)

Although Tardis can easily travel through time and space, one thing he can't do is change the exterior of the police phone box. This design, which the doctor wanted as a temporary feature to help the ship interfere in the 1960s, ended up stuck. Although the police box in the 1960s no longer interferes with the environment, the doctor never struggles to solve the problem. Fortunately, the box has an invisible feature that the doctor uses occasionally, as well as a continuous perception filter that helps to avoid the attention of most passers -by.

Another key part of Tardis information: The machine has a built -in translation feature for anyone traveling to it. This is why almost every new character the show introduces speaks perfect English, even when they probably don't have to speak human language at all.

Since the doctor changes externally with each reincarnation, Tardis tends to regularly detect his interior. Sometimes, the interior of Tardis has dark, cold light, and is sometimes bright as a fairy tale. Over the years there have been many interiors of Tardis, and most of them Tell tell the audience something important for the mood is the current doctor. For example, when the 11th doctor reveals his cold blue caesarean interior in the "snowstorms", it helps to show that this doctor mourns.

If there is one thing that connects all the different interiors of Tardis (well, at least all good), it is that they are created with tone intention. In fact, since William Hartnell, the first actor played by the doctor, made sure to stay consistent for what every small button on the console did (which, which is fun enough, wasn't enough, it wasn't The "Doctor Who" rule, Nkuti Gatva faced breaking problems), every new Tardis interior is designed to be faithful to both the old and the general taste of the current doctor.

When he made the first Tardis for a "Doctor Who" revival in 2005, production designer Edward Thomas continued the tradition by putting a tone thought in what Christopher Ecclestone (and then, later, the 10th Doctor of David Tennant) would like their Tardis interiors. "I wanted to create a time machine that, for 700 years, was very little of the original structure because the doctor would have to constantly update and repair it," he explained in A. Season 1 behind the scenes video. "It's a kind of merger of old and new."
