The Women of Doctor Who Page #4

---

and beautiful.

And she's just crying

oily tears of, like,

"I did this

for my country."

That is how much

she loves planet Earth.

Somehow, her best self

comes out

when her soul's been

taken away.

That says a lot

about her.

I still get young children

on the street, actually,

asking me how I managed

to overturn my cybertraining.

Idris is one

of my favorite ladies

that crosses

the Doctor's path

because she's never been

a person before.

She's always just been

the soul of the TARDIS.

Now, you'd think

the TARDIS,

which is 700 years old,

if it was to become flesh,

it would actually be

a bloke, a man,

in a boiler suit,

covered in tar,

covered in kind of

the muck of machinery,

but, no.

Basically, the personality

of the TARDIS got transferred

into a kind of hot,

scruffy,

Helena-Bonham-Carter-

type woman.

I'm alive.

I was very happy when the

TARDIS turned out to have

such an elegant, demure

voice and personality,

you know, how the TARDIS,

you know,

sounded like a London

taxi driver --

"I'm not going to

metebelis, no,

and I'm not going there

at that time."

He really realized

how alive the TARDIS is.

Because he always goes

like "she's alive,"

but when you see

a person be alive,

it's easier to understand,

than, like,

a telephone booth

with infinite rooms.

You never read

the instructions.

I always read

the instructions!

There's a sign on my front

door. You have been walking

past it for 700 years --

what does it say?

That's not

instructions!

The relationship

between the Doctor

and Idris,

who was the TARDIS,

is kind of

interesting

because it is

a love story,

but it goes past

anything

sort of physical,

it's a love story

that is like just

they're bonded

throughout time.

You are not

my mother.

And you are not

my child.

You know, since we're

talking, with mouths --

not really an opportunity that

comes along very often --

I just want to say,

you know, you

have never been

very reliable.

And you have?

You didn't always take me

where I wanted to go.

No, but I always

took you

where you needed

to go.

You did.

Look at us, talking!

Wouldn't it be amazing,

if we could always talk,

even when you're stuck

inside the box?

You know I'm not

constructed that way.

I exist across all

space and time

and you talk

and run around

and bring home

strays.

I do really feel like

they're soulmates.

They're best friends,

they're siblings,

they're family.

They can't live without

each other.

You can't have one

without the other.

In the top 3 saddest

moments of "Doctor Who"

was when the TARDIS had to go

back to being a TARDIS.

She just wanted to say

"Hello."

I'm alive.
