IT was due for a makeover after travelling the universe for 900 years —and here is an exclusive peek at how Doctor Who's trusty Tardis looks in the new TV series. The time-travelling police box took months to rebuild, with insiders saying: "The Tardis had to look up-to-date as well as faithful to the original."
The Doctor — now played by Christopher Eccleston, left, with Billie Piper as sidekick Rose — takes it for a spin on Saturday at 7pm on BBC1.
Doctor Who's who in the police box
THE Tardis has had a few transformations over the years.
When Peter Davison was the Doctor in the 1980s, the interior was bright and clumsy-looking with a clunky console.
One of the best interiors was around when Tom Baker was at the helm as the Doctor — the stark silver room contrasting with his vivid, colourful outfits.
CLING-ON ... Davison as the Doc
FOP FLOP ... McGann in '96 film
