Hey are there things lost or trapped inside the TARDIS?

Hey aren't there a few cybermen still lost inside the TARDIS that never found their way out or died from the old series?

That would make a good story have them causing problems or something. I wonder if there's anything else still stuck in there as well that we haven't met yet?.
 
Susan never did get her shoe back after the Doctor promised to fix it. It's one thing to be left on Earth, but unless she found another shoe, she had to marry David Campbell half-barefoot.

Can you imagine if the Jelly Babies ever became sentient and resented the hell out of their ancestors being treated as snack food?
 
Well, if there was anything living lost in the TARDIS when The Doctor's Wife took place, it had almost a 1/3 chance of being dumped into the main console room when House deleted that much of the interior.

What about finding stuff in the TARDIS from future adventures? Assuming Sexy was telling the truth about archiving console rooms that haven't been seen yet, then could there ever be a way for a Doctor or companion to accidentally access one? She'd set a psychic password on Ten's old room, but the Doctor's good at bypassing security...

That's interesting.

The TARDIS also has a schedule. I don't know why but it does. In the final episode of the E-Space episodes where Romana decided to stay there with K9 (yet another one that was left somewhere) he says to her that he kept a record of all TARDIS schedules. No idea what he meant but was assuming he meant some kind of flight schedule so that also ties into the The Doctor's Wife I'd imagine, the ship takes him where he is needed.

I thought he said he had a record of all TARDIS plans, so Romana could construct her own TARDIS.
 
Thanks. Found it..

Okay, it's just a matter of semantics. "Schedules" doesn't mean time in this instance. It does mean plans, blueprints, instructions, etc.

Yeah I get that.. Just when I first saw that many moons ago that was what I thought and it kind of stuck with me.
 
Didn't one of the Cybermen stories have a Cyberman head off to search through the TARDIS that isn't seen for the rest of the story? So theoretically, there could still be an old Cyberman wandering the TARDIS.

I thought that was the one that wandered back into the control room and damaged the controls just long enough that the Doctor couldn't materialize on board the freighter to rescue Adric. The Doctor shot it, the freighter hit Earth, Adric died, and then the controls unjammed.

(Story referenced: Part 4 of Earthshock)
 
"Attack of the Cybermen" had at least one Cyberman unaccounted for, inside the TARDIS, by the story's end.
 
IIRC, there were two prisoners from the Saudi prison where the eighth Doctor was tortured in Lawrence Miles' Interference who wandered into the TARDIS and were never heard from again.

Maybe the Eleventh Doctor found him, patched him up with some newer parts and renamed him Handles!
 
Now—going in a different direction, there were times when parts of the Tardis were jettisoned. Where are they now?

Somewhere Romana's room will perplex someone if/when it turns up (though it looks like her knick-knack shelf was saved and became part of the room Tegan and Nyssa shared... I think... would have to check).

I don't remember if the swimming pool was jettisoned at one point.
 
25% of the TARDIS was jettisoned in Castrovalva.

I assume it just floats around in the Temporal Vortex, possibly even "ceasing to exist" since it's no longer anchored to the "real world".

It's mass converted to energy, the lost rooms aren't dumped in the Vortex, they're deleted and converted into energy.
