Timeless Child and the TARDIS Police Box:

This iconic space-traveling box always had a reason for staying as a "Police Box", something that fans might never question!

It turns out that "Chris Chibnall," who worked as showrunner for the series, brought about a twist! It added an element that fans would debate for ages: The "Timeless Child!" It looks like it has become one of the more debated topics, and the TARDIS' form, which will give everyone something to consider and debate.

The Fugitive Doctor and the TARDIS

Here's how Doctor Who fans get some new insight about a new era with Jo Martin who plays "The Fugitive Doctor", one who doesn't have many great stories from the series' past!

The most recent addition of this Doctor gives some new clues, too!

  • In one of the newest episodes from Season 12. (it's a classic one that's from 2020).
  • It's known for showcasing "The Fugitive Doctor,", in episode 5, you can catch "Fugitive of the Judoon"

This new, and incredible adventure of the Fugitive Doctor makes it clear that The Doctor's TARDIS isn't a one of a kind machine! It may have more than one owner, something that can cause so much controversy with fans.

You can see what's interesting about this "Timeless Child," it brings some truly intriguing questions.

In the episode. We get to see the return of a "police box" and this brings a lot of theories!

  • Is it possible this "Police Box" may have existed in the history of the "Timeless Child," since it is a powerful figure that could have a deeper connection than most think!

For the newest Doctor to be a Time Lord, even though they may have no idea how powerful this character is.

The Timeless Child Theory:

It's super crazy! You've got to check out this theory:

Since there is this special bond between The Doctor and The TARDIS. They must share something special to make them such a dynamic duo. They both could potentially remember fragments from long ago, which makes everything so much more interesting!

That gives viewers so many new thoughts about this dynamic and gives an exciting explanation for those that want some extra details about "Doctor Who".

It also shows a pretty complex, well thought out element. You see, The TARDIS can actually go through a time of confusion.

  • If The TARDIS was given its form when it was under Division control, maybe the iconic police box look was from long ago.

If this all seems true it's possible the TARDIS remembers its true purpose, the ability to go from one location to the next!

It may be that even this legendary machine may not know how it gained these incredible talents.

Why the Doctor Never Fixed the Chameleon Circuit

If you've watched "Doctor Who" a lot then, you're familiar with the Doctor and this classic piece of technology! However, you also might have noticed that the Chameleon Circuit has never been in top condition! It might not have been an oversight. However, it may have a bit of a deeper story!

Since we got all the information from the series, The Doctor can always keep a machine in peak condition and has done so since Hartnell's reign as The Doctor. What really stands out as a big piece to consider, was how this powerful character doesn't want to get rid of that box-like shape of The TARDIS, so that could have had a purposeful meaning.

And with a time traveling story like this. That means even The Doctor might be holding on to some kind of subliminal sense of nostalgia! It also brings about the theory that The Doctor doesn't fully have a sense of their history, with the influence of The Division.

For anyone who may think this theory seems outlandish, it was one that was a hot topic when it was announced and is something that fans of this show continue to contemplate,

No matter your stance, the show always adds intrigue to each era. We really can't help but be mesmerized with all that's been happening! With the newest release for the series there is plenty of exciting things waiting! You can catch the series for some time-travel and wonder about these fascinating theories.
