"Ok, what have you got for me this time?"

[Demonland]

In the trailer for the new series we see The Doctor standing in front of the Tardis and he says, "Ok, what have you got for me this time?" What do you think he is referring to? Has the Tardis healed and he is about to enter for the first time hence him saying that before seeing the new look interior? Does this imply that it is the Tardis who changes it's own look?

Also do you think they will explain the new look of the Tardis exterior? It has changed appearance before. Has it ever been explained? A slight modification of the chamelon circuit perhaps?

No, I think it's that the TARDIS has habit of landing in places where mayhem is imminent and the Doctor is acknowledging that.

No, I think it's that the TARDIS has habit of landing in places were mayhem is imminent and the Doctor is acknowledging that.

It certainly has precedent.

No, I think it's that the TARDIS has habit of landing in places where mayhem is imminent and the Doctor is acknowledging that.

Plus the show has acknowledged going back to the 1960s that the TARDIS is, to a degree, alive. So to have the Doctor talking to it is nothing unusual.

We don't know, of course, if that scene is actually from an episode. Most likely it is, of course, given the way the trailer is put together. But we have had specially shot footage used in trailers before ("Do you want to come with me"; "I want to be a doctor/I am the Doctor", etc).

Well Tardis's are grown acording to the Doctor in "The Impossible Planet".

Hopefully that'll go the way of the Doctor being half-human and be casually ignored.

Why? I like the idea of them having a somewhat organic nature to them, even if all we ever see is mechanical.

Me too, especially since there are multiple references to the TARDIS being alive and somewhat self-aware.

I kinda like to think, as others have, that the TARDIS takes the Doctor to where he'll be needed the most. Hence why the Doctor never really gets his landings right. Eleven's line might be his way of acknowledging that.

There's no reason to ignore it, it's a fun and perfectly harmless little idea. And anyway, Doctor Who is a show where you can add new ideas without destroying the old ones.

The new doctor has saved the world again and now is a new man. He's chosen his new clothes and is ready to embark.

He hasn't seen the TARDIS since he crash landed.

What's this? the TARDIS is new and shiny!(and HD ready)

"Ok, what have you got for me this time?"

Enters the TARDIS to reveal a new console room

*camera pans all around it*

 

[Starkers]

Actually given that we saw him working on the TARDIS in the trailer I wonder if he'll step inside to find...

Spoiler: speculation

it still looks like a bomb's hit it!

I prefer the idea that the Time Lords are just really clever bastards who can build time-travelling machines. The idea that a TARDIS can be 'grown' is Doctor Who's version of midichlorians.

 

[Starkers]

Personally I think it makes the Timelords even cleverer if thay can grow time travelling machines!

 

[The Mirrorball Man]

Now Time Lords are really clever bastards who can build time-travelling machines that grow. What's the problem?

 

[Shazam!]

Because they're not clever enough to just build one and have to sit around for a bit.

Watching this scene makes me wonder if 10.5 knew of Donna's fate as well.

They're Time Lords. They don't have to sit around for a bit. Ever.

They're Time Lords. They don't have to sit around for a bit. Ever.

They do if they're waiting for a TARDIS

 

[Lindley]

But the TARDIS is always on time....

They don't have to wait. Time Lords can travel through time. Come on.
