Traveling through space and time Doctor Who style

So I'm not a Doctor Who fan at all, but lately have become intrigued (I know a couple fanatics and it feels like it's about time to see what that's all about). I recently learned about the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), Doctor Who's spacecraft/time machine thing.


It's perhaps a stretch to consider the TARDIS a mode of travel, but, hey, I've seen mobility folks talk about traveling via the mind and imagination as if that doesn't involve some suspension of disbelief and a sprinkling of magic. I'd actually consider the TARDIS more legit than that even, as it is getting Doctor Who from point A to point B. It's really just one small step below mobility topics like canoeing ethnographies, the movement of SARS germs, or the locomotive as a phallic representation. (Mobilities is a broad, broad concept if that isn't apparent.)

In any case, I became much more interested in the world of Doctor Who after watching this great video by a German woman who built a TARDIS from scratch.


This really has nothing to do with travel, transportation, or mobility, but it was such a delight to watch. (Her videos on teaching are also wonderful.)
