'Did you ever wonder why I chose you all those years ago? I wanted to see the universe, so I stole a Time Lord and I ran away...'The Doctor has a unique bond with their TARDIS. They've always loved the 'old girl' for the way she's gone looking for trouble anywhere in the universe. The Doctor says they stole the TARDIS from Gallifrey. The TARDIS disagrees... she stole them. She hasn't always taken them where they want to go, but she's made sure to take them where they needed to be. For the TARDIS is far more than just a time machine crossed with a spaceship. Her life reflects the Doctor's life - a shared wanderlust and longing to explore. Now you can revisit the Doctor's adventures as seen through the eyes - or the flashing rooftop light, at least - of the TARDIS. From the time the Doctor stole her from Gallifrey to her latest adventures with the Fifteenth Doctor, the TARDIS reflects wittily on her epic, incredible history - past, present and future!
