5) 1st/2nd/3rd doctor (1963-1970). It's the original and one of the most inventive. Built on a small budget, it was the longest surviving interiors therefore one of the most loved. From the coat stand to the really uncomfortable looking bed (so much so Susan stabbed them with a pair of scissors) it's all great. And part of the reason why it was so successful was because William Hartnell knew every button and leaver making it much more believable and showing the doctors intellectuality. It also looked quite welcoming. But I thought towards the end of Troughton's era it began to look slightly dated making it number 5. 4) 11th/12th doctor (2012-present). The latest in the long line of TARDISes and this one is easily the most modern and stylish. I thought it never fully represented Matt's doctor too well as it was too dark but I hope it will suit Capaldi's dark doctor much better. I like it's use of balcony's and the console is absolutely perfect. My favourite feature is probably the spinning wheels at the top of the time rotor. This is fourth because the doctor's TARDIS is meant to be an old model and this one looks much too modern and metallic. 3) 4th doctor (1976-1977). Used for only a short time as a secondary console room, the gothic design suited the 4th doctor to a tee. The console is at a higher level which is a nice touch and this TARDIS is probably the most different in the classic era apart from the 8th doctor's so I like it for that. The dark gothic colours and themes are what represents Philip Hinchcliffe era and that's what I like best about it. I also like the railings and other things surrounding the console, it is a good use of space. 2) 9th/10th doctor (2005-2010, 2011). I grew up with this TARDIS meaning the doctors home was like my home. The coral theme didn't suit Ecclestone's doctor too well but Tennant really used it to it's full potential and made it his own; from the rafter where he would throw his trench coat to the hammer he would hit the console with. This one also looks quite welcoming from the orange glow yet worn in a good way. The high roof also helped it to look bigger. If we had seen more of it then it could have been 1st place. 1) 8th doctor (1996 TV movie). How could it not be this one? The ginormous beautiful gothic design reflects perfectly the doctor. With bits and bobs strewn around in no particular order and pealing paint and damage and cobwebs covering every spot. This is what the TARDIS should be. Not perfect in everyway like the 11th/12th doctors TARDIS. The doctors TARDIS is meant to be an old model and this design shows this the best which is why it's first. Also it's somewhere where you just need to look at it to know it's the doctors home. If I could choose any TARDIS to return, it would definitely be this one.

My favourite is probably the 11th doctor's first or the war doctor's. For some reason I just love the bright vibrant colours! I nearly fainted when I went to see it in London!
