10 Things Doctor Who Wants You To Forget
6. The TARDIS Doors Not Making Any Sense
By its very nature, the TARDIS defies all logic.
The big blue box is (all together now) bigger on the inside. It's also a living creature - sort of - and has even come to life in human form before.
Some fans of the show might be happy to write off any inconsistencies with the TARDIS as yet another quirk, but some of those inconsistencies are too glaring to ignore. Like this one.
In a handful of Second Doctor stories during Season Five, the TARDIS doors were put on the wrong way round, with the white sign being on the right instead of the left. This was soon corrected, but it's a boo-boo the show definitely won't want you to remember!
On the subject of those doors, nobody can seem to decide which way they open. In some episodes (like when the TARDIS is crashed in Amy's garden in The Eleventh Hour), they open outwards. Most of the time, they open inwards.
Even the TARDIS herself isn't happy about this, reminding the Eleventh Doctor that "police box doors open out the way" in The Doctor's Wife.
Are the TARDIS doors on hinges that go both ways? Who knows, but it's likely the show will just keep doing what's most convenient, and hope nobody notices.
