TARDIS EXTERIORS WORST TO BEST | Doctor Who List Ranking

[@thetasigma412]

I tend to pass off the whole ‘Hartnell box changing from episode to episode’ thing as the recently-broken chameleon circuit trying to fix itself, meaning that the TARDIS’ exterior is constantly changing as it tests the chameleon circuit and fails to fix it by itself. Idk if that makes sense to anyone else, but I can’t find a good way to explain it.

[@MattJFPlays]

That works actually

[@jacobcurle8964]

I believe there’s a special feature on one of the Matt Smith series box sets where it explains the exact way in which the chameleon circuit is broken - it’s not that it’s just stuck and doesn’t function at all, it’s that before it lands anywhere, the TARDIS scans the area and chooses the best form to take when it lands… and every time it chooses to take the form of a police box. So it’s possible that the TARDIS just decides sometimes to appear as a different police box, since its ability to change shape works perfectly, it’s just that it never chooses to be anything else.

[@willgillies5670]

Perfect sense. Applies to the whole series really.

[@richardkirkland6805]

​@@jacobcurle8964It wasn't a special feature, I don't think. It's actually explained in the show itself.

I love Hurt's TARDIS, honestly. I love the war-torn look. If you could see patches of exposed white roundels where the wooden panelling has fallen off, that'd be awesome.

[@thomasleongeorgerobertglad7560]

Smaller meaning thinner they've progressively been getting slimmer more in line with the classic TARDISES 9's was bulked up when the show came back because the designer wanted the TARDIS to look like it could take a beating while travelling about also it was immediately just after the time war, which is why The War Doctors is roughly the same size bulk wise

[@Teckno77]

Thing I loved about the older exteriors is you never saw inside, that mystery was always there. Also the liked it better when the windows weren't white and lit up like a Christmas tree all the time. The original ones were dark and as they should be, after all the whole point of the cloak is to not draw attention to it, it made sense.

[@Fff99901]

I think Smith's is actually my favourite for the reasons you don't like it so much. It has a sort of presence to it, it looks like a police box but there's something not quite right about it, like it's actually something trying to be a police box (which of course it is) which I think works with the TARDIS's dodgy chameleon circuit. It also looks great in flight, perhaps because it does look slightly beyond a simple wooden box. Then again, I love Whitaker's too because it does look like a simple wooden box so I guess they can appeal in different ways!

[@doc_lofer]

@LittleRedRhuari RRR Yes, I love how the signs light up, especially the Pull to Open one, and the windows, especially those of Capaldi with that lighter color.

[@joshuaayres3503]

i absolutely love the 11th doctors exterior because out of all the tardises it feels the most modern and the colour is just beautiful. also i really love the windows and how it looks in certain lighting. also the saint johns ambulance with the gigantic gorgeous red interior makes this the perfect tardis

[@CulturePhilter]

I do love that TV movie design

[@jacklees9529]

If I had to travel in a box I'd choose the 12th doctors, both in and out although the 13th exterior and hell bent interior are close seconds

[@HarryFlakey]

I have to agree with your first place. In actual fact though, it is exactly the same box as Hartnell’s original. It just kept having bits added and taken away over the years. The only reason they got rid of it was because it fell in on Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen during filming for The Seeds of Doom. Fun fact!

[@minicle426]

Doubt it was much fun for them. :P

[@23blazeses34]

I think the problem a lot of people have with the Whittaker exterior is it’s such a radical departure from what modern Whovians have grown up with- the white lamp and large box with the white telephone instructions- meaning it alienated a lot of OG revival fans that had grown accustomed to the relative consistency the TARDIS exterior had held across nearly 20 years

[@jacklees9529]

If character options remoulded the roof to look like a 1966 box they could have so many variants including the different lamps, it's my most wanted figure from them alongside 2013, 2017 and 2020 cybermen

[@darkstone2583]

[@gordonw.8831]

Where are the designs from Attack of the Cybermen??!!

[@TerryOnTuesday]

I'm 50 yrs old and I grew up with Tom Baker primarily, but never liked his Tardis model much. Surprised at how much love McGann's gets and I reall like the dark blue of it and the solid look of it. Was never a real fan of the Eccleston - Smith box, but I do like the white window frames. Jodie's is nicer than those ones, but the greenish tinge is a bit off for me. Great video !

[@batman6621]

in Glasgow they had red police boxes. i think a funny joke would be the doctor fixes the chameleon circuit and wants to show off to her companions. they land in Glasgow and its now just red for the episode instead of a rock or a piece of machinery that she was hoping for.

[@lucasheap]

My favourite is the Whittaker box by a mile!

[@DoctorWhoAdventures]

Great ranking!! I think my favourite might be the very first one :D Also, I recently saw a filming picture that shows 13's TARDIS with the windows fallen in (like they had in the classic era). I never realised that the real-life TARDIS box still did that :o

[@AndyTheRoo]

I'm soooo happy that Russell T Davies kept Jodie's exterior for the 60th anniversary and Series 14. Personally it's my favourite, it just looks so clean!!

[@bigboymedia453]

I feel that the smith box works more for his first tardis and they should have made a different exterior for his second tardis - capaldi’s regeneration

[@SpectrumStorms]

1. Whittaker 2. Troughton/Pertwee/Baker 3. Shada 4. Capaldi 5. McGann 6. Hartnell 7. Hurt 8. Smith 9. RTD 10. 80s Honourable mention: Despite not being used in the series, the box built by the YT user Dematerialiser is fantastic. If I were to rank it, it'd be just under Whittaker's.

[@RiainRamblez]

It always amuses me that the American Movie has a higher quality Police Box prop than most of the British show itself lol

[@Icelandic_Sand]

10 years, and I've NEVER noticed that the War doctor's TARDIS had a classic lamp on top.

[@moonhead4542]

I really love hartnells first. I love the white frames along with the shade of blue they use when is colourised. The big light along with the taller nature of the box. The more rectangular door (indents?) i mean when it’s not coloured it looks a bit rubbish and scruffy but when you look at it in colour it just looks perfect.

[@danm9006]

That's a really great idea about the TARDIS.

[@TimeMasterOG]

Actually hartnell box isn't tall. It's actually just skinny

[@djhutchison]

[@awesomefilmsomega5559]

Well, this is a ranking video I didn't know I needed...

[@SadJBomb]

unrelated but the way i explain to myself that the tardis changes (and how it seems to line up with the doctor regenerating) is that the regeneration energy gives the chameleon circuit or sort of kick and powers it enough to change the exterior slightly enough and maybe even the exterior mirroring the new doctors personality is from the regeneration energy sort of manifesting the doctor within the circuit

[@legothoron1]

13's tardis has to be one of my favorites, as there's something classic about it

[@Limes_not_Lemons]

I'm really happy with the Jodie box being the new default for now. Glad it's sticking around. Hated her tardis interior but the box is gorgeous. The classic boxes are pretty great across the board, and I'm mixed on the RTD through Moffat boxes because of their size, but my two favourite boxes of all time are McGann's box and Whittaker's box. McGann's is just gorgeous and nicely proportioned and Whittaker's is sleek with nice intricate details that don't feel too complicated. Also I just have a preference for the blue lamp

[@collsmad]

The reason McCoy's TARDIS was a lighter shade of blue is that in The Happiness Patrol it was painted pink then repainted blue.

[@cyclopsegg4735]

The Hartnell box never lost the St John Ambulance badge, it was just faded, if you look closely you can see it

[@Swaglander]

What no way!!! I love the smith box so much

[@mail4mattmt]

1. Cushing Dalek Movie Prop (It's a little big but it's got loads of charm, and feels the most like a 1960's relic traveling through time and space. No comment on the interior, though.) 2. McGann (Every element of the classic boxes I like is present here. The roof is amazing, the windows are so unique, and that's the best shade of TARDIS blue we've ever had. Plus, its interior is fantastic, so that helps.) 3. Whittaker (I'm actually not a huge fan of the greeny-blue, but that being said, everything about this box is so charming, it feels, like you said, like it could actually be an actual police box. I love the yellow windows and blue lamp as well. This is such a a good prop, probably best in the new series.) 4. 1963 original prop (So. So good. I'm slightly prefer the presence of a St. John's Ambulance badge, and this prop looks so battered. This is how the TARDIS should look to me. The roof is a little too flat for my liking, but overall it's fantastic.) 5. Capaldi (looks best in series 10, and this and the Whittaker box have been battling for best ) 6. 1966-1976 altered original prop. (I like the modern series rebuild a lot, but I like the signage and blue of the early baker appearances. Being picky with the preferences, but the prop itself is great.) 7. 1976-1979 Baker prop. (Shada appearance is the best. I unironically love the police lamp. This prop is severely underrated. Yes, it's kinda bad and a little weird, but man does it have some personality. A weird prop for a weird Doctor. I just love this funky little thing and I probably love this higher on the list. Honestly, make it a little slimmer, the windows a tough wider, and add a roof as in logopolis, and boom. It'd be the best TARDIS exterior in my book.) 8. 2010-2013 Smith. (This prop's first appearances are great. The blue is nice and deep, the black windows are the best kind of windows, and the new prop contrasts nicely with its predecessor. Though, as it goes on in life, the paint becomes a little flatter, and a little too light for my taste. The Snowmen appearance was brilliant, however, and I wish they'd stuck with that battered look for the rest of its run. But they didn't. This prop is good, though. I still prefer the slightly slimmer, more worn Capaldi era props though. 9. The 80s prop. (I may get flack for this, but I'm not a fan of this one. The panels are too shallow, the windows are a dull grey instead of a bright white or a sharp black, and the blues they use after season 20 onward are atrocious. I don't hate this one, but I don't really care for it either. I would say the best I like it is in Season 18, with the matching blue signage and such. Still loads better than the ones further down my list. A good TARDIS prop, just not my taste.) 10. The War Doctor exterior. (See: 2005-2010 exterior, added: this is about how battered a TARDIS should be in my eyes, but I can't stand that grey color.) 11. 2005-2010 TARDIS. (I'm sorry, but I can't. This one is the only TARDIS I actively dislike. It's too wide, the blue is ugly, the signage choices are weird, I don't like a white "pull to open" sign without a St. John's badge, and to top it all off, this box is far too overrated. That TARDIS.PNG pic activates my fight or flight. This just isn't a very good TARDIS, and the interior is as ugly to match. I also don't care for the frosted windows, either. This is the worst box to me. It's still a TARDIS, so I like it in that sense, but beyond that, bleh.)

[@nigelwalker6103]

The original prop lasted for 13 years making it probably obe of the longest continuously used props. It went through many changes and repairs but still was the same basic prop. Eventually wear and tear took its toll and it was retired at the end of season 12.

There is an aspect to your Number 5 entry Jodie Whittaker's Tardis that never gets mentioned.

Never thought someone beside me cares XD I like jodies best, although I hate her interior, seconded by the boxy 3rd doctor exterior.

[@MetaCinemaYT]

The only thing that bugs me about Whitaker's TARDIS is the telephone door handle is on the left. Why would they do that :') Throws off the synergy of all the symmetry.

[@ShriekingHyperFixator]

The reason why it’s on the different side, is because actual police boxes had it like that. You can tell in classic who, when majority of the time they used legitimate police boxes, that the handle is on the left side.

[@tTaseric]

Personally, i think the best is the 13th Doctor's Tardis. I wasn't a fan of 11's Tardis, it just felt too big and the colours seemed a bit obnoxious, as if it was only designed to be easily created as a toy. 10's Tardis was great and iconic, although i do think it's a little overrated, and it really doesn't seem "unique" at all anymore, it's just seems like the 'default tardis' rather than 'Tennant's Tardis' 12's Tardis was just a much better version of 11's Tardis, it felt very "modern" compared to the other Tardis exteriors. 13's Tardis has a very unique colour scheme, i really love the lighter, more cyan looking colour. The black pull-to-open sign is much better than the others, although i'd prefer the hinges to be on the other side as it does seem a little out of place, although there's probably a reason for that change. The orange glow of the windows is sooo good, especially when it activates when she touched the Tardis in the Season 12 finale. It definitely fits with the visuals of Season 11 and 12 much more than any other Tardis would. I think the "definitive" exterior would be 10's Tardis, although the best design is 13's.
