That being said , the on-going presence of Fourteen in theDoctor Whouniverse is n’t without its proceeds , and while there ’s been no official verification regarding whether he will retort in time of year 14 , the prevue implies he is n’t as dependable as he was when he was last exhibit .

Fifteen’s TARDIS is practically identical to Fourteen’s
Near the oddment of theDoctor Whoseason 14 preview ( around the 1:56 marker ) , there ’s a sweeping guesswork of a run - down TARDIS that looks to have been abandoned long ago . While the TARDIS looks like a dilapidated interpretation of the Fifteenth Doctor ’s , it ’s important to remember thatthe Toymaker ’s lingering power allowed Fifteen to duplicate his TARDISso that Fourteen could have one during his soft retirement .

The image of the overgrown TARDIS show that flowers had once been pose at its door , with the brickly , broken plants indicate that the blue box remain there in memory of the diminish Time Lord . While there is a small-scale possible action that the TARDIS actually is Fifteen ’s this seems incredibly unlikely . ViaRadio Times , Nctui Gatwa is , " Already a duet of month into filming his secondDoctor Whoseason . " So , this would n’t coordinate with the death of the Fifteenth Doctor .
The death of a TARDIS is n’t name often , but Christopher Eccleston ’s Ninth Doctor account the process to Rose via a recorded message inDoctor Whoseason 1 , installment 13 , " The Parting of the Ways . " The Doctor send out Rose away in the TARDIS , with his holographic ego telling her : " permit the TARDIS break . Just let this old box meet dust .

Gatwa has already made a enceinte printing in his first full episode , with theDoctor WhoChristmas especial acting as a soft reboot in advance of season 14 .
