Tardis

[TARDIS (acronym: Time And Relative Dimensions In Space), the name in the science-fiction BBC television series Doctor Who (first broadcast in 1963) of a time machine outwardly resembling a police telephone box, yet inwardly much larger.] allusively: something resembling or likened to Doctor Who's TARDIS; spec. (a) a thing seemingly from another time (past or future); (b) a thing which has a larger capacity than its outward appearance suggests; a building, etc., that is larger on the inside than it appears from the outside


TARDIS

The Third Doctor emerging from the TARDIS in the 1970 serial Spearhead from Space.The TARDIS is a fictional time machine and spacecraft in the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who. The name is an acronym of Time And Relative Dimension (or Dimensions) In Space.[1] A product of Time Lord technology, a properly piloted TARDIS can transport its occupants to any point in space and time. Its interior exists in multidimensional space, leading to it being significantly larger on the inside than it appears from outside.

In the series, the Doctor pilots a Type 40 TARDIS. Although TARDIS is the name of a class of vessel, rather than a specific craft, the Doctor's TARDIS is usually referred to as "the" TARDIS or, in some of the earlier serials, just as "the Ship." (In the two 1960s Dalek films, the craft was referred to as Tardis, without the definite article.)

Externally, the Doctor's TARDIS resembles a 1950s-era British police box (a special phone booth for police communications), and the programme has become so much a part of British popular culture that the shape of the police box is now more immediately associated with the TARDIS than its original real-world function.

Generally, TARDIS is written in all upper case letters, but many examples of the form Tardis are found in media and, occasionally, licensed publications. In the 2005 series episode World War Three, the caller ID of the TARDIS is displayed on Rose Tyler's mobile phone as "Tardis calling."[2]

The word has entered popular usage as a term to describe anything that seems bigger on the inside than on the outside.[3] The name TARDIS is a registered trademark of the British Broadcasting Corporation.

The TARDIS is the time machine used in the long-running BBC sci-fi show, Doctor Who. It's an acronym for "Time And Relative Dimensions In Space." The TARDIS originally had the ability to transform its outer appearance to blend into the surroundings of whatever planet during whatever time period it "landed," but the TARDIS on the show is "broken" and only appears as an old London police telephone booth. The TARDIS is bigger on the inside than on the outside.
