"You didn't always take me where I wanted to go" "No, but I always took you where you needed to go" Great lines

[@azclown317]

that was such an amazing episode. the fact that they put all of that into one episode, made you love the tardis as a person and want it to be, then go 'nah, just wanted to give you a taste' and now you care about the tardis as a character is just so 'muah'

[@genesisshort3097]

That is probably one of my favorite interactions in all of the entire show.

[@DrWhoFanJ]

@@FreeAssangeNope. Actual _Doctor Who._

[@stevetheduck1425]

So much in one episode, such as an arm from another Time Lord that had an anchor? on it as a tattoo, and the third Doctor had an anchor tattooed on his arm. The return of the six white squares built to make a box to contain a mental message to the Time Lords, last seen in The War Games, and so much more.

River Song "It's not SUPPOSED to make that noise.....YOU leave the brakes on!" *facepalm*

[@genesisshort3097]

The Doctor's Wife is an excellent representation of this

[@genesisshort3097]

A couple of Clara's episodes, when she sees the TARDIS as more than a machine and more of an entity were great

[@genesisshort3097]

And there was Rose's interaction where she had the entire Time Vortex poured into her by the TARDIS when we first really saw the TARDIS as an entityr ather than a machine

[@JosephKitchens99]

Bright TARDIS. Two times the TARDIS saves the day. When it arrives, it's so bright it is blinding bright. Think Waters of Mars. When Gaget Gaget robot flies the TARDIS to the 10th Doctor and the others on the Mars base as action 5 (nuclear blast) is counting down, the TARDIS is the only hope for survival. It Arrives at the base to save #10 and everyone else and it is blindingly bright when it arrives. The next time the TARDIS arrives at the last moment to save lives is when Pompeii erupts and #10 flees with Donna barely making it aboard. She begs the Doctor to save someone. #10 saves Caceilius (Peter Capaldi) and his family. The TARDIS arrives in Caceilius' home at the last second to save Caceilius and his family and the TARDIS is blindingly bright again.

I always loved how the TARDIS feels such a close connection to the doctor. So much to the point she gets jealous when he brings home "strays". It just shows how much he means to her. She just wants him all to herself.

The high-speed chase saving Donna in the taxi, the Sixth Doctor turning it into an musical organ, and this previous doctors not liking the new doctor's TARDIS design were great.

[@robadams5799]

That's kind of the running gag with multi-Doctor stories. "You've redecorated . . . I don't like it." I wrote a fanfic Doctor Who story with a character based on myself. Upon rejoining the Doctor after a previous untold adventure he said "you've changed the TARDIS. I like it."

[@nathanpeterson1431]

It’s really funny hearing the TARDIS say “[You] …run around and bring home strays.” Right before it shows the Tardis NOT bringing the Blink crew with her.

[@DatCartoonistGuy]

Well of course. Why bring strays that WEREN'T her Doctor's strays?

[@just_kos99]

Can't believe you didn't include the cameo from "City of Death" with John Cleese and Eleanor Bron, where they're admiring the TARDIS in an art gallery. They see the Doctor, Romana and Duggin run into it and disappear, and Eleanor exlaims, "Exquisite!"

[@DoctorMysterio15]

That would have been truly exquisite 😂

@@FreeAssangeThis compilation of _Doctor Who_ clips is already 35 minutes long; they can’t just bung every TARDIS clip in one video for us Whovians to enjoy!

[@DrWhoFanJ]

@@FreeAssange Indeed. Non-existent people did not get anything. Well done. You understand how the concept of nothing works!

[@CricketEngland]

Douglas Adams knew John Cleese and Eleanor Bron through his connections with Monty Python and the Footlights. On learning that both would be working in BBC Television Centre on the day the art gallery scenes were to be recorded, he persuaded them to make a cameo appearance in a short scene written for "two Englishmen". Cleese and Bron agreed on the condition that there be no pre-publicity regarding their appearance; Cleese wanted them to be credited as "Helen Swanetsky" and "Kim Bread" but the BBC declined. Cleese liked the name "Kim Bread" and used it in later projects. During recording, Cleese and Baker also recorded two short comedy skits for the BBC Christmas tape.

[@robtymec2642]

For all its cheapness, I adore the space walk sequence in Four to Doomsday. I especially love the way the Doctor's knowledge of Basic Physics saves the day!

[@klaxoncow]

Except that, well, he should have started moving backwards when he threw the ball, and catching it would have just been an extra boost on top. Equal and opposite reaction, and all that jazz. Also, he missed a golden opportunity to throw away that stupid stick of celery as well. Unforgivable.

[@TheGreatSeraphim]

The Moment : You know the sound the TARDIS makes...? That wheezing... groaning...? That sound brings hope wherever it goes. War Doctor : Yes. Yes, I like to think it does. The Moment : To anyone who hears it, Doctor... Anyone... However lost... Even you.

So, so, so pleased the wooden control room got the credit it deserves.

[@skinkskinkdead4628]

I think this first scene shown is very quintessential of jodie's doctor. I wasn't an overall fan of some of the plot during her run, but this scene where she's left to shine enjoying her new tardis is absolutely amazing.

[@AiRsTrIkExXzZ]

Should’ve put the scene in the satan pit where the doctor is running from satan in the caves then falls over just to find the Tardis behind him

[@stevetheduck1425]

He broke the faceplate of his spacesuit (darn those so-easy-to-break faceplates, so necessary for the story to work; they're almost like armour that does nothing, or pirates that don't do anything) and the TARDIS arrived exactly where and when needed. Fun, but lazy writing.

[@AiRsTrIkExXzZ]

@@stevetheduck1425 well only the glass of the helmet broke because he fell for an indeterminate amount of time. The tardis being there is a bit lazy but the tardis is alive and since it does have a sort of sound(sound of drums) and is telepathic means the tardis may have sort of lured the doctor towards it

[@venom101wastaken]

I really hope this is a build-up to a TARDIS reveal!

[@AceKitteh]

the first moment with 13, despite what the naysayers say, was brilliant and showed that it wasn't Jodie that was the problem.

[@bluejacket4429]

I thought the same thing. The score was weird and not the correct style for Doctor Who, and even the cinematography didn't fit. And that's just surface level, not even mentioning the script. For some brief moments, I'm genuinely able to think to myself that she genuinely feels like a Doctor.

I’m very surprised that you didn’t include the end scene of An Unearthly Child. Although it’s a scene which in a few months will be 60 years old, it’s the first we as the audience experience the TARDIS travel through time and space. Everything has a beginning.

[@metricmine]

The TARDIS flying through the air to save Donna in the "The Runaway Bride" is my best ever TARDIS moment. I cannot count how many times I watched that over and over. I was in shock the first time I saw it, with a similar reaction to what Donna had when she saw it. Another one is when River Song opened the door of a space ship and the TARDIS materialized outside just in time to catch her, followed by River flying the TARDIS better than the Doctor. In "Hide" when Clara talks to the TARDIS and convinces the TARDIS to go to the pocket universe to rescue the Doctor. The TARDIS flying without a shell in "The Doctor's Wife" and materializing inside the TARDIS. When the TARDIS landed inside itself so when they went out the door, whey where still inside the TARDIS. Just a few great moments off the top of my head.
