Or, for that matter, Star Trek enterprise, which had an episode which featured a time machine that was bigger on the inside...

Just thinking, when 12's episodes broadcast and everyone say's how good he is, this would be a great name for his fan club

:O

Could be a recycling bin that you could sort of climb into?

I don't know if any of you have seen this before, but it features Star Trek: The Next Generation during Season 5 of their show, crossed over with Doctor Who.

In the DW universe, it is set after The Vampires of Venice but before the Silurian two parter.

I've got the hardback book of this featuring both parts to the story. I bought it last week. It's not cheap either for a graphic novel.

I've read all of the book and I LOVE it!

You and me both! I got the hardback version with the wraparound cover too. Glad I waited for it instead of buying the 2 smaller trades.

I'm still really annoyed that the BBC took the rights back from IDW, thus cancelling the sequel they were hoping to do. I wonder what they would have done though? Maybe reversing it all and having the Enterprise enter the Doctors Universe? Would have been fun to see them encountering the Daleks! Or maybe even the Docor encountering Q? The mind boggles at what he would have thought of the Matt Smith Doctor!

a skip.

Sometimes, the best ideas are forced by circumstance or just plain luck. The Transporter in Star Trek was devised as a way to avoid costly visuals of the ship landing each week. Costly also in terms of story time. The Transporter gets the story going very quickly by getting the characters to the location quickly.

Compare and contrast with the Vipers in original Battlestar Galactica: week in, week out, repeated shots of Vipers launching or in flight. Repeated so often they became tedious.

The TARDIS is a similar budget and time saving device. It propels the characters into the story quickly, without all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace. It's why, over the years, not many stories have featured long sequences in the TARDIS or about the TARDIS.

It would be a police box:

But if it started tomorrow it wouldn't be as they aren't widespread at the moment. If what is speculated in the article is true, then maybe if it started in a year or two it would have still been, but not now. Sorry if Im being a bit nit picky, but just saying.

And there I was, just about to point to the "myth" thread that Doctor Who fans are nit picky...

Don't think half the thread's and posts on the forum would exist if we weren't

It could be a garden shed. Quite a common object, some don't have windows, they're a similar size to the Tardis and are made out of wood. And they feel quite British, even though they have them all over the world. This one would be a good one: http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs...tNumber=165216

One of the best things about Doctor Who is that, if it wasn't for the show, hardly anybody today under the age of 50 would know of the existence of police boxes.

I quite like the idea of an ambulance which funster suggested. It could still keep its shape constantly and materialise anywhere and people gravitate towards it as a reassuring symbol of help

yes I like this idea, a shed is probably the closest British type thing in size and shape you can get to the police box, and it's the kind of thing that has been around for years and presumably will be for many more years to come so instantly recognizable.
