There is some disagreement over whether the "D" in the name stands for "dimension" or "dimensions"; both have been used in various episodes. The first story, An Unearthly Child (1963), used the singular "Dimension". The 1964 novelisation Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks used "Dimensions" for the first time and the 1965 serial The Time Meddler introduced the plural in the television series - although the script had it as singular, actor Maureen O'Brien changed it to "Dimensions". [3] Since then both versions have been used. It is singular in Frontios (1984), and in " Rose" (2005), the Ninth Doctor uses the singular (although this was a decision of actor Christopher Eccleston— [4] the line was scripted in the plural). [5] The Tenth Doctor uses the singular in " Smith and Jones" (2007). The plaque set on the TARDIS console in the 2010–12 design also uses the singular form. In the 2011 episode " The Doctor's Wife" the TARDIS herself uses "Dimension". In " The Zygon Inversion" (2015), Osgood mentions hearing "a couple of different versions" of what TARDIS stands for. The Twelfth Doctor responds with a new acronym: "Totally and Radically Driving in Space". It’s just ian being ian. Shouting first ask questions later.

Here one of Bristol's shops was transformed into a mysterious emporium with the TARDIS parked around the corner.

The uppercase "TARDIS" convention was popularised by the Target novelisations of the 1970s. However, the use of " Tardis" is equally correct (it was used in the Dr. Who[ sic] films) and is consistent with current British press style, in which acronyms (initials that form pronounceable words) are spelled with only the first letters capitalised (for example, Bafta), while unpronounceable initials ( initialisms) are capitalised in their entirety (for example, BBC). Many examples of the form Tardis are found in media and, occasionally, licensed publications (in the 2005 series episode " World War Three", the caller ID of the TARDIS is displayed on Rose Tyler's mobile phone as "Tardis calling"—this capitalisation of only the initial letter being the default setting for Nokia mobile phones). The OED has the word "Tardis" capitalised as such with a first appearance from the Times in 1969.

Another example is Season 12 – the replacement programme is eiffy as best for multiple reasons that are too lengthy to get into. Therefore, you would also have to buy the standard edition to get the repaired content. All episodes have been newly remastered from the best available sources – these classic adventures have never looked or sounded so good on home media.

In 1996 the BBC applied to the UK Intellectual Property Office to register the TARDIS as a trademark. [39] This was challenged by the Metropolitan Police, who felt that they owned the rights to the police box image. However, the Patent Office found that there was no evidence that the Metropolitan Police – or any other police force – had ever registered the image as a trademark. In addition, the BBC had been selling merchandise based on the image for over three decades without complaint by the police. The Patent Office issued a ruling in favour of the BBC in 2002.

The TARDIS ( / ˈ t ɑːr d ɪ s/; acronym for "Time And Relative Dimension In Space") is a fictional hybrid of a time machine and spacecraft that appears in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who and its various spin-offs. While a TARDIS is capable of disguising itself, the exterior appearance of the Doctor's TARDIS typically mimics a police box, an obsolete type of telephone kiosk that was once commonly seen on streets in Britain. Paradoxically, its interior is shown as being much larger than its exterior, commonly described as being "bigger on the inside".
