I didn't even notice McGann's TARDIS arch! God this TARDIS is a proper tribute. this is beautiful!

[@donjackson9823]

Before they tear it down, I hope they make a 360°, full 3D video so we can take personal tour and zoom in on every part of the TARDIS.

[@KarenBarnettAuthor]

I was thinking the same thing. I’d love to be able to explore it on my own.

[@theowels5773]

OMG YES

[@MrCdawson17]

They’re keeping it up indefinitely atm.

[@Dubble77D]

I am so happy that Mel got a proper chance to shine. Bonnie's wonderful.

[@StarshipAlves]

For most of the finale she just stood there. Terrible writing

[@Clonest]

@@StarshipAlves better then screaming all the time like she was forced to do all throughout her original run.

[@DinoBoy26]

Oh my god I would love to just run around in this and see everything!

[@JeffDJ69]

It's too small to run around in, ha-ha! 😀 But you could definitely spend an hour combing through every nook and cranny.

[@JoyVerseProductionsOfficial]

you know, it's the troll's & hater's of the series may never know the love and care put into this due to them wasting their time complaining about whatever upset them.

[@minicle426]

Take a sip every time someone complains about trolls/haters. 🍷

[@mickylove76]

I would.

[@mohzayd1234]

Mel should become a series regular and get to travel in the tardis again. Best character in the finale

[@The-Cosmic-Hobo]

She was AMAZING! Her era was when I was first getting into Fandom, and whilst she was generally not seen as a popular companion, she played a great character and it's been wonderful to have her return. I absolutely agree - she was the star of the finale!

[@steve-0493]

Yh she's great..she's wonderfully charming lol,AND NOT JUST A SCREAMIN LADY!!🤪🤣🍻✌️

[@MrPcgamer4ever]

She was wonderful. Best part of the episode.

[@stevenedwards8353]

Maybe she can become a regular companion of the 16th, whoever that ends up being

[@madcaptainren3030]

She's still got it!

[@Venemofthe888]

Honestly the memory tardis is a lovely time capsule of all of doctor who and its absolutely lovely how much care and attention to detail there is

[@HighlandHellboy]

It genuinely makes me so happy to see Bonnie, seeing her get all excited and nostalgic just makes me smile. The moment with her and Colin's coat actually made me a little weepy. I grew up on the beginning of the revival, but the classic companions mean so much to me and I'll never get tired of seeing them again.

[@lbricks7631]

This is fanservice done right, both in service of the plot, but still allowing those who care to pause each scene and pick out all the easter eggs.

[@darkacadpresenceinblood]

100%, i'm a super new fan so i pretty much only recognized 4s scarf from watching pyramids of mars in preparation for Sutekh's return and they managed to include a lot of subtle references without people like me feeling like we're not getting something, but it must be so fun for the people that did recognize stuff in there!

[@RonMotta1972]

Yes! Easter Eggs for the sake of just having them takes you out if the story. (See: the Flash movie.) But this was brilliantly done.

[@pinzokiyama3387]

@@RonMotta1972Kinda sad some people misunderstand the point of fanservice. It’s a nice little bonus, yet some people tend to mis-prioritize it as the main gimmick and then panic when there isn’t enough of it while there is an actual gimmick and story to invest in..

[@Whiteythereaper]

It was also great as someone who has been keeping up with the other things in Who, so if you were like me you'd immediately clock the "Remembered TARDIS" bit and realise "oh, Tales of the TARDIS used a Memory TARDIS" and immediately guess that they would be using a variation of that interior as Ncuti walks in and sees it. It's a nice link between the special stuff & extras, kind of like An Adventure In Space & Time did with Matt's Cameo

[@gemmamoon5998]

⁠@@WhiteythereaperJust wish they’d make the Tales of the TARDIS available outside of the UK 😢

[@TheBlueWhoReview]

Mel's addition to the episode was the best since she's been back! 💙

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

As someone who designs sets and props for theater and hopes to break into something like TV or movies, this is the DREAM. I don't usually think about it in the actual show because I can't tell how much is real and how much is effects but knowing that this entire thing is real just makes the creative cogs in my brain spin, I wanna make something like this so badly

[@BritishBeachcomber]

Many of these props are so old that VFX was beyond the budget. They had to use real props, repurposed.

[@viviorko]

The trolls of the series may never know the love and care put into this.

[@JoyVerseProductionsOfficial]

don't forget the hater's who won't see it over complaining about their hate for the show in all sorts of ways.

[@Suedeash]

To be fair they've done some dodgy stuff since 2017, but this is not one of those things. There's a lot of cool stuff in the new series and hopefully they use the Remembered Tardis again soon

[@viviorko]

[@kkay000]

The amount of attention to detail the people that make these sets put in is insane.

[@FluffyChops]

ikr shame the story let this ep this appeared in down.

[@aerelyamirart]

The mention for Paul McGann's TARDIS from the TV movie is glorious. 😭❤️❤️

[@TheSpectacularSpiderPunk]

Bonnie is such a treasure

[@Shew28]

Bonnie’s performance and Mel’s interaction with the Doctor were the absolute highlights of the two episodes for me, Bonnie was a powerhouse of emotions, and so much more than just an 80’s screamer! I just hope we see A LOT more of her in the future!!!!!

[@BritishBeachcomber]

Spoiler alert. We will see Mel again.

[@DatCartoonistGuy]

0:54 - I’m sorry, is that RIVER’S SONIC resting on the left of the console?!?! FANTASTIC!!!

[@anrylstudios]

Loved Bonnie in the new series so far. Hope she comes back for Season 2!

[@infinitemonkeytheorem4327]

She might I think russel is using her like he used Sarah Jane Smith in his first eara, but since Mel probably won't get her own spinoff show since she unfortunately wasn't that popular she will most likely show up everytime unit does

[@mrcritical6751]

@@infinitemonkeytheorem4327seeing how Russell apparently wants to do a UNIT spin-off I’m guessing we’ll get her partially leading there

3:19 "I'm not as stupid as... Not as stupid as I look." - Oh my God, who would ever dare say that!😮 Bonnie Langford is so lovely...😄

[@AndyRossism]

The Happiness Patrol poster!! I knew there would be a slew of stuff in here that I couldn't possibly spot. Love how RTD planned ahead and the Memory Tardis wasn't just a thing for the Tales of ...but actually originated in the main show , we just didn't know at first. Timey Wimey! As they say.

[@corvus1970]

HANDLES! That's Handles in the wall! Awww, poor Handles.

[@jamesa.fitzpatrick1566]

Bonnie was a gem in this series. Please bring her back, FREQUENTLY.

[@amritpalhh9836]

I know Mel is older but she’s hot

[@R.senals_Arsenal]

Seeing Bonnie's joy makes me happy, that's awesome that she knows the show so well from eras she wasn't even in.

[@MarkWardReacts]

She clearly doesn't... she just mmms and aahs whenever he tells her something. :D It's quite funny.

[@ModelsExInferis]

Love Bonnie, have done since I first saw her all those years ago! When they've done with the Remembered TARDIS it'd be great to put it on display so Whovians can visit it, like the touring exhibition in... I want to say 2005, but I could be misremembering, I am ancient! I'd give my eye-teeth (which I still have, so not an empty promise!) to see it in person. I know we wouldn't be able to rummage around in it, but just to look inside from behind a rope barrier would be great and most of us would really appreciate that. Please? Pretty please? Pretty please with a cherry on top? 😁

[@SpiderBatFan]

1:35 is that Bill on the ID!? With the logo from the monk trilogy

[@Venemofthe888]

I believe it is yes

[@Acknowledgerofdoctorwho]

Yea!

[@CalvinLimuel]

it does say B. Potts!

[@Lumibear.]

A memory Tardis is such a lovely idea, I particularly like how the ceiling rotor is lit to create internal reflections. I wonder if there’ll be a toy/model of it that people could collect the little ‘memory charms’ for.

[@fandelapin2971]

I'm gonna be honest, i watched some of her episodes in classic who and I thought "oh this character is so annoying" but the way mel's character is written now is really really better and I love her ! I also like that doctor who unlike most shows or movies, gives strong and badass roles to women over 50yo. Because multiples studies have proven that in movies, most characters played by older women are either senile or unimportant to the plot. Unlike older men who can be adventurous and do cool stuff

[@Kryojenix]

I hope they'll cast a sprightly and mischievous older woman as the Doctor in the future.

[@JoshPinder92]

Gatwa, Gibson and Langdord were such a fab trio! I wish she was a regular Bonnie is a queen

[@The-Hazbin-Devil04]

3:24 is that Handles?!?

[@judithstrachan9399]

Yep.

[@lennygrindler7697]

Bonnie is still so cute !!!!!!!!!!!!! Also total respect for the work that was put into that TARDIS!

[@omarpixel9176]

Honestly the team behind all the set design and customes deserve mych more credit. They knocked it out of the park this season.

[@davidharding1299]

Ah... Bonnie Langford. When she was with Doctors 6 & 7, I felt the writers never really knew what to do with Mel. I feel that Big Finish, on the other hand, finally did Mel justice and made me into a fan. I think the BBC books classic Doctor series also helped with that too... there was no Bonnie Langford involvement in that. Always nice to see her.

[@alasdairdevine983]

That is NOT Jon pertwee’s console (yes I’m being petty)

[@NatrollJM]

Same for "capaldi". That was the console used between 5th and 7th.

[@olliejobson6371]

This season blew everything out of the water. Ending was a little rushed but it was a great season. The memory TARDIS was such a nice touch. It really connected all the doctors together and it was just fantastic

[@GenerationWest]

I don't know why, but that places looks proper cozy! Not spacious like a regular TARDIS interior, but it is snug!

[@pedro_mab]

Love Bonnie so much and love that they're letting her character shine. Can't wait to see more of her in the next season!!

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

This would be fantastic as a virtual reality version where we could all look around, open the drawers, pick stuff up and look at it. In the early days of the Internet the BBC had a lot of detailed archaeological pages, you could go around the inside of an iron age hut. A Tardis like that would be Amazing ❤

[@rjmcallister1888]

Considering the Sixth Doctor got his shot in there with Peri and the Seventh with Ace, Bonnie (Mel) should have her own time in the Memory TARDIS. As Twelve asked Clara, "Do you happen to know how to fly this thing?".

[@2429Ryanspeer]

This tardis is a great time capsule to Doctor who

[@luisd.mancilla8169]

OH MY GOD WAS THAT HANDLES?

I didn't like 13's era but it was sweet they had Yasmin Khan's Police ID in there since she was speaial to 13

I await the glossy coffeetable book detailing the contents in all their glory, inch by inch.

[@biancamariavalenti8050]

Lol LOVE THIS Behind the scenes Soo groovy Cool! The sonic screwdrivers Most of them Nice detail

[@steelsheen]

@DoctorWho it would be AWESOME to have a virtual walk around of the Remembered Tardis on a website somewhere. I know other franchises have done it before, but it would be so perfect for the Remembered Tardis since it's not a big set but it has SO MANY details that a hi-res camera can capture 🥰

[@legothoron1]

60 years worth of Doctor Who history all within those walls

[@ABrecher]

Someone (or someones) had an awful lot of fun putting this together.

[@JSP_1147]

I want to see this set. id be in there for days looking at all the easter eggs and refrences. it would be a dream come true

[@sarahclapp505]

Mel you was my first companion❤❤Thank you. You got to be a companion and a baddie ❤❤❤.

[@mattimus3667]

I really love the memory tardis! It's so cool seeing all of the various references and bits and pieces referencing Doctor's Who's history. It's amazing how much care, attention and detail went into making this. I hope we get to see this more!

[@JeffDJ69]

It would be cool if someday we got a proper TARDIS interior for a future Doctor that was a mishmash of past interiors. (Might have been a cool idea for Tennant during the 60th anniversary specials, then Ncuti could have changed to the current "desktop" for Ruby's entrance into the TARDIS at the end of the Xmas special.)

[@TheCNYMike]

Trying to freeze frame through it to see all the little things was challenging. But it is my favorite sequence. And I did notice the roundel from Jodie's Tardis.

[@wendyheatherwood]

As much as I love some of the other interiors, this is the one that would be my TARDIS.

[@SilverStrumer]

Seeing a companion return from the classic series always brings me joy. So far it’s only been Sarah Jane and now Mel!

[@ABrecher]

Well, Tegan and Ace too.

[@Chalky.]

I'm going to be angry if there's no UNIT spinoff show, because like with Vastra, Jenny & Strax they built up the characters so much that it left us wanting so much more, then cruelly did nothing with it.

[@MarkWardReacts]

I love how Bonnie clearly knows NOTHING about any of the show that she wasn't in... *feigns interest in The Happiness Patrol and The Three Doctors*. :D

[@davidstankiewicz2049]

That's VERY impressive

[@annezzz08]

It’s all so detailed, I love it!

[@Sam-zu5mr]

Love the memory TARDIS, designed really well. In fact it's more Doctory than the new TARDIS design, which looks like an airport terminal. I hope they use the memory TARDIS again.

[@tigremalabarista3461]

Honestly I had hoped it’d been this, just a bit larger so they could have a bit more movement. I like the new inside but it’s just too big. It needed some furniture like McGann’s (not to the extremes) Or Smith’s.

[@Sam-zu5mr]

@@tigremalabarista3461 fully agree🙂

[@malphasblackwing420]

I think they shluld make all future companions come from different time periods or different social cliques. Like a goth companion or an 16th century Russian companion or a person from 63rd century American Samoa or something

[@jaydenyamada2916]

This set is gorgeous. The sheer effort that went into it is amazing.

[@samwell54]

we need to keep Bonnie happy at all times she’s too precious

[@dale1978b]

Poor K-9

[@IceWolf-23]

I'd love to see the 11th doctor talk to Amy pond in there at least it's a way for the doctor to see his best friend again

[@paulosborne6517]

I never 'got' Mel, the first time around in the 1980s. The part was written to be too precocious and annoying - but then poor old Colin Baker's role was sabotaged by awful script / costume / producer demands too... Several decades on though, I adore Mel and the 6th... if you pay attention there is actually a subtle poignancy in their performances underneath the awful brashness that was demanded of them by JNT. Plus Bonnie Langford is a lovely person when she's just being herself.

[@kirksav]

Was great havig Mel back. Hopefully see her again.

[@jessica23claire]

Damn I’ve listened to so much Big Finish but I’ve never seen what Scott Handcock actually looks like until now 😂

[@alanafowler3024]

I think that they need to bring K9 back for the 15th Doctor maybe upgraded from the last time we saw him. And if they ever brought him back give him legs so that he can actually walk like a dog.

[@trioofidiotsfrombeyondthem1117]

Won't lie I am always hoping for a return of like a glimpse of the coral Tardis set, I was very happy when I saw the console for it. That Harris design was always my favorite.
