Appreciation of the TARDIS...

[fajrdrako]

This article, sent to me by auriaephiala, amused me.

I can't imagine living in a country where such things happen. Where TARDISes are made and auctioned. Where people know what it is and put it in their allotment.

I want one, and an allotment to put it in.

Having a Doctor inside it would be all right, too.

*G* Yep, that totally happens here. I live not too far from the BBC Manchester offices, and they usually have a TARDIS in their foyer that you can see from the road. I'll have to photograph it for you at some point. :)

That is just so delightfully mind-boggling. I'd love to see a photo.

I totally want one of those. I keep trying to sell off bits of my back yard for allotments to put it in, too...

The prefect possession. Economical, too, because it must be bigger on the inside than the outside.

Have a Doctor inside, and Who knows where he is? You want to get him outside, then lock the Tardis.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

But that would be cruel!

Better to let him stay inside, and take me places.

That's is awesome.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

It certainly is.

well I already have a sonic screwdriver so a Tardis would be awesome.

Sonic screwdrivers are awesome enough. I have one too, but it needs a new battery.

I can't imagine people not recognising one! Of course I'm old enough to recall (just) when police boxes were ubiquitous and used by actual policemen. Once upon a time the TARDIS actually did merge into the street furniture...

There are levels of recognition. I don't know but I imagine most Canadians won't have a clue. (My friends are not typical in this regard.) Until I started watching DW a few years ago, I thought the TARDIS was a blue phone booth. I had no idea what a Police Box was, or that the TARDIS was labelled as such.

It may be iconic, as they say, all over the UK, but not here. You don't even see it. And the CBC hardly publicizes the show.
