Room inside as Doctor Who fan creates Tardis

A Doctor Who fan has turned her house into her very own Tardis.

Erica Quinn has recreated the famous time machine from her front door in Glasgow.

She even matched the paint from an original 1960s police box that still sits a stone’s throw away at the corner of the city’s Botanic Gardens.

Life-sized cardboard cut-outs of the Tenth and Eleventh incarnations of the Doctor, as played by Matt Smith and David Tennant, companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and time agent Captain Jack (John Barrowman), and a Dalek peer out from behind the curtains of the flat-turned-Tardis on Clouston Street.

Mrs Quinn dresses them up on special occasions such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Easter – giving each a costume. The Captain Jack figure even spent last year wearing a black armband in mourning for the regeneration of the tenth doctor, played by Scottish actor David Tennant.

The 39-year-old rearranges them throughout the year – currently the enemies and companions are grouped together, with the two Doctors occupying her bedroom, and a solitary Ood in the hall vestibule.

Mrs Quinn, who shares the house with her husband Quinn, two daughters, Joan and Alice and cat, Lucy, said: “They switch around and sometimes they come out of the windows,” she said.

The house has become a local landmark, with passers-by stopping to take pictures.
