  • (1st) Doctor: “How is this possible?” / “You can’t fit a building into a sitting room, right? Then what of television?”
  • Jo Grant (to 3rd Doctor): “I don’t believe it! It’s bigger inside than out!”
  • Doctor Who (in The Three Doctors episode): “Well, Sergeant, aren’t you going to say it that it’s bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Everybody else does.” / Sgt. Benton: “Well, it’s… pretty obvious, isn’t it?”
  • Clara Oswald (to the 11th Doctor, 49 years into the series): “It’s smaller on the outside.”
