One of the centrepieces of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the TARDIS has been there since day one - and remained ever since, stuck in the form of a British police telephone box. Sure, she's a temperamental Type-40 TARDIS and has almost been through more face-lifts than the Doctor himself (the interior set has changed a lot, while the outer prop has had [http://www.themindrobber.co.uk/tardis-police-box.html minor changes to its police box form]), but the TARDIS is a constant of the franchise. [[Trope Namer]] for [[Time and Relative Dimensions In Space]].
Line 53:
* [[Good Colors, Evil Colors]]: The Master jimmies the TARDIS into a "Paradox Machine," giving it an infernal red glow.
* [[Happily Married]]: To the Doctor, [[Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E04 The Doctor's Wife|obviously.]]
* [[I Call It "Vera"]]:{{verify|reason=This is a weapon trope - is it the right one?}} {{spoiler|The TARDIS likes to be called "Sexy Thing", or "Old Girl".}} {{spoiler|[[Inverted Trope|On the other hand,]] she calls the Doctor "her Thief" or "Beautiful Idiot".}}
* [[Iconic Item]]: Of the series as a whole. Thanks to the show (and, admittedly, increases in technology which saw the need for phone boxes decline), the police box outer shell is immediately associated with ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
** [[The BBC]] has acquired the legal rights to the image of a British police box, taking them ''away'' from the British police. It's ''that'' iconic.
* {{spoiler|[[Like Mother Like Daughter]]}}: Both the TARDIS and
* [[Living Ship]]
* [[Magic-Powered Pseudoscience]]: Runs on "Huron Energy," which the Doctor periodically needs to refuel it with.
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]:
* [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]]: Chronic example. A small list of powers that have been revealed by the series include invisibility, telepathic communication, temporarily granting God-like powers, bringing back the dead, temporarily granting God-like powers ''to'' bring back the dead, and ''towing a planet''.
** Towing Earth required some help from Mr. Smith and K-9 to use the Torchwood facility as a tow hitch, though.
** But one thing it apparently can't do is teleport itself to the Doctor's location (and even then, it did so anyway in ''Revenge of the Cybermen''). Several episodes involve the main characters being separated from the TARDIS.
Line 78:
* [[True-Blue Femininity]]: An inanimate example.
