Now before we get into the it’s an acronym, therefore it shoudl be all uppercase, I’m OK with it being written thus. Why?

Tardis was originally intended to be the name of the Doctor's ship (in the same way that one might name a sailing boat) rather than purely a descriptive acronym.

and

Quote:
Nevertheless, despite the increased use of "TARDIS" in prose fiction, there still is no firm preference expressed by narratives in visual media like television episodes and comic stories. Where the word has appeared, it has done so along other words exclusively set in the uppercase. For instance, in the plaque installed on the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS set, all the words are in uppercase, so nothing can be inferred about the "proper" way to capitalise the acronym. Equally, in Let's Kill Hitler, the word appears on a screen where all other text is in uppercase. Comic depictions have also been lettered in all uppercase, as is standard for the medium.


So it appears that both forms are valid.

I know what they meant, so I'm OK with it. A certain "eggy" individual will have different feelings on the issue, I'll wager. :lol:

I caught this on iPlayer.
It was really good to see little kiddies genuinely frightened by the presence of the baddies.
I don't get to experience that - not being around small children, so sometimes I kind of forget how the show is experienced by little ones.
It's good to see that kiddies can still be frightened by TV.

You can only hope they've resurrected The Rani.
