How can the Tardis appear larger on the outside than it seems on the outside? Tom Baker's Doctor Who explains some simple trans-dimensional engineering to his assistant, Leela, in this classic BBC clip from Robots of Death.

  • what if you get stuck between the dimensions somehow? you'd end up in the void! O.o

  • @Raysphinx7 Only as insane as the Doctor lol

  • "thats silly" has embedded itself into my vocabulary

  • I always thought that it was like a warpzone, if you know gaming terminology....

  • If you simply look at the name "Time And Relative Dimensions In Space", what this means is that their is a dimension inside the box. its not bigger on the inside, the box is still the same size. What makes the inside bigger is that dimensions are not restricted to the dimension you have come from, thereby making it look like the inside is bigger.

  • I remember this episode. He is such a winner

  • Father Dougal would understand this perfectly.

  • @Raysphinx7 No, you're not insane. The inside of the Tardis is, in a sense, "further away" because its in a different dimension than the outside. However, it seems to be "inside" the smaller police box because the Tardis doors allow access to that other dimension.

  • @MassimoPiai I'd go further than that. Hot, I'd say.

  • @JBurrows15 Yes! Well said. I think the TB stories had far more depth and imagination than the new tough-talking, end-of-the-universe, wide-eyed new series. I never watch them.

    BTW, I think they'll find a way around the regeneration issue -- just like The Master did in The Deadly Assassin. After all, an industry depends on it ;-).
