coolcat13 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 ok here goes one three times it is mentioned -the belemivich limitation effect =one can not travel in time to a place twice.this law was violated in Fathers day which even then the Dr mentioned that it was a vulnerable point in time with them bieng there twice the other two times it was mentioned was the T Baker era and the P Davison era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thraxman Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 And there was a whole season when the Doctor (Tom Baker) piloted the TARDIS from the auxilliary console room. All wood-grain finish, pretty classy. If I remember right, they entered the TARDIS directly into it, just as if it was the main console room... and example of how the interior can be reconfigured. Anyone know which season this was? I don't have any of those eps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingding100 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 It was the 76 -77 season of TB, which would be... episodes 85 - 96. Peep wikipedia for info 'bout the TARDIS. Good place to start. TARDIS - wikpedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingding100 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 In "The Empty Child", with regards to the phone in the TARDIS, has anyone actually seen this before? I can't ever remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingding100 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Now I'm going to be up thinking about the TARDIS... I do have a bit of a problem with something for in wikpedia which is presumably taken from highlights of the episode Castrovalva; The fact that the Doctor was able to jettison 25 percent of the TARDIS's structure in Castrovalva to provide added "thrust", however, implies a finite volume. Is this not the definition of "thrust"? Thrust is the reactive force that is exerted by a rocket, propellar, or jet engine, which propels a craft. How can the TARDIS "thrust" anywhere if it travels through time and space? I don't remember seeing rockets strapped to it. Oh, Lord, I'm tired...G'night all.

thegoonden Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Remember the Doctor BS's half the time cos his assistants are too thick to grasp the truth. "thrust" could be anything, it's ability to navigate at will in the vortex. I always assumed it was poor writing and dismissed it with either the above, or by the simple idea that under the prevailing conditions she could not maintain her dimensional remapping around such a large volume AND navigate. The TARDIS is sort of small town sized inside by the general feel of many many sequences talking about it's inside, and remember the limitations of set size...take the garden, the "real" garden, the one they wanted to show, I am sure looked more like Hyde Park than a windowbox. TB always wanted the inside to be virtually planet sized. I'd say BTW that the LACK of the intermediary room makes it MORE suicidal to have yer leg out the door when the inside of the TARDIS dissovles into the vortex. Do they ever SHOW an intermediary room? I think it's referred to in a novel, but on telly I just put it down to shitty sets, and the diffculty of getting a decent outside shot for a background through the door. Another limitation of a TARDIS ( tho whether it's a law of the timelords or a law of rassilon or a law of nature is not mentioned) is that it cannot return to Gallifrey before it left based on Gallifrey standard time. Type 40 TARDIS's were all decommissioned millenia ago, with the last example believed shut down at least several centuries ago. There have been many intervening models, and the "current" (in so far as one can say that) model is the Type70. The Type40 can be thought of as one of those old Citroen Dolly's...old and obselete....but packed with cool features people forgot about afterwards. The Chameleon circuit got jammed as a police box while he was on Earth (presumably it was the longest the thing ever sat still for), he DID get it working again once, and the TARDIS had a great old time messing around, before he managed to get it stuck as a police box again. As for the Phone.....it's not a phone anymore than that stuff on soldier's hats is greenery....it's just a fake camoflage remember....hence the large "out of order" sign William Hartnell hung on it in "the war machines" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenriswolf Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 TARDIS other thread I dropped that in here since it has several interesting pictures/links and so on. In Empty Child you also see the TARDIS moving through space which suggests it does have a propulsion system capable of flight without time travel. It could be based on gravitic fields or any number of systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenriswolf Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 Another nifty piece of TARDIS technology would be the H.A.D.S. Now I wonder if they'll keep that particular piece of WHO in the new show. Hostile. Action. Displacement. System A trick that allows the TARDIS to dematerialise and avoid potential damage.

GorunNova Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Waitamin... the BBC's 3D 360 degree pic of the Doctor's TARDIS has only one door... outside! http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/making/360/full.shtml ... there IS no internal door, so how can you get to the wardrobe etc? :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenriswolf Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 I presume that one of those seamless roundel walls opens and allows you further in, at least that's how I would do it so no one really knows how big the ship is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingding100 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I found this on-line, but don't know how correct it is. Claims to be the Master's TARDIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xodus2222 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 isn't there a swimming pool and an infermery onboard too? I could have sworn in one episode the swimming pool was jettisoned as well because it was leaking. I seem to remember a "pool leaking" comment.

S0V13T Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 isn't there a swimming pool and an infermery onboard too? I could have sworn in one episode the swimming pool was jettisoned as well because it was leaking. I seem to remember a "pool leaking" comment. Yeah, just saw the episode "Paradise Towers" yesterday, and McCoy definatelly mentions a swimming pool leaking on board the TARDIS. I've been watching them in reverse order, nad I didn;t catch any refrence to the pool being jettesoned. Then again, McCoy is a bit hard to understand when he starts talking fast, and throws those rrrrrrrrolling "R"s into his speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolcat13 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 here are two more points about the Tardis . you can time ram another Tardis as the Dr threatened to do to the master and you can materialise around another TARDIS as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thraxman Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 here are two more points about the Tardis . you can time ram another Tardis as the Dr threatened to do to the master and you can materialise around another TARDIS as well Good reference for both of these is Serial 64 - The Time Monster (Jon Pertwee). Time ram is when two TARDISs attempt to occupy the exact same point in time and space, resulting in total annhilation. Also, not only can a TARDIS materialize around another, they can materialize inside each other... as in the Doctor's is in the Master's, yet the Master's in in the Doctor's. They did this in the Time Monsters, and I am certain this happened in a Tom Baker ep also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thraxman Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Oh yes, also in the Time Monster, the Doctor mentions the TARDIS telepathic circuits. The Master used them to feed the Doc's words back to him before he even spoke them, making him talk backwards. Hehe... that silly Master :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat13 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 yep forgot about that .another point is that he had a type 40 TARDIS which had instructions from Rassilon in it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
