Talk:Dalek time machine

Name? Was this ever referred to 'on screen as a DARDIS, other wise 'Dalek time ship' should stand as its name. --Tangerineduel 15:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * the name appears in The Quantum Archangel as well. Stardizzy? 15:11, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Righty, Ok, just was curious. --Tangerineduel 15:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Contibuing this convo three years later . . . Article asserts that the term DARDIS appears in the script. How do we know this?  Has The Chase script ever been published?  It 's not part of Doctor Who: The Scripts range, is it?   Czech Out   ☎ | ✍  03:09, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Moving
Nah, sorry, I'm not seeing any reference to DARDIS anywhere "real". It's not in The Chase, DMP or their novelisations. It's not in The First Doctor Handbook, which is by far the most exhaustive of that entire range. To the extent it occurs anywhere, it's in The Quantum Archangel, but here's its one and only occurrence, in its entirety:
 * ..."the DARDIS core, stolen from Skaro itself" ...

And I'm not snipping valuable words there. It's just a part of a list of things the Master possesses. I'm not proposing deleting DARDIS, because obviously Craig Hinton uses the term, but that's so vague, it can only go in a behind-the-scenes note. Thus, I'm moving to Dalek time machine, because that's actually used in the script of The Chase, and in the novelisation.
 * Conversion complete. All instances of DARDIS, except on talk pages and fora, have been converted to Dalek time machine.

Taranium

It says here that Taranium is used to power the time machines....I don't think this is right. The Taranium is used to power the Time Destructor and I can find no reference to it being used for the DARDIS.
