... how is this even a debate?
How are people even discussing this?
How is the cramped as hell, unreliable phone booth and the cramped as hell, unreliable DeLorean even in the same league as the unreliable, but SPACIOUS AS ALL GET OUT Tardis? All three of them have their problems going to their intended locations (the phone booth's phone book is a pain in the neck to use, the DeLorean's incredibly prone to faults and... well, lightning, and the Tardis takes you where you need to be, not where you want to go) so all that being equal, you have to look at it as a travel device. And in that regard, the Tardis wins hands down. The phone booth is best used as a bloody sled if you're transporting more than four people, and I wouldn't want to drive to the next city over in a DeLorean, let alone another point in time. The Tardis has bedrooms, a full wardrobe, a swimming pool, a library, and can GENERATE new rooms if need be! Oh, and it's useful in battle too! It has a forcefield that can take a missile from a Dalek battleship! And as much as I like both the other candidates, a stick of dynamite would turn both of them into piles of useless steel and flux capacitors.
And another thing! When it comes to companions, the Tardis wins out too! The greatest person to travel in the DeLorean? Doc Brown, aka a crazy old man with Einstein hair. Whoopdy doo. The phone booth? Okay, better pedigree... Freud, Socrates, Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Beethoven, and so on... good stuff. Two things are lacking, however: hot chicks (sorry, Joan, but you're the only one there) and people who've affected things other than Earth. JUST in the new series, you have companions that have saved our planet, other planets, and THE ENTIRE MULTIVERSE, all while being really really ridiculously good looking. Have you SEEN a glamour shot of <a href=http://andrewgarfield-rph.tumblr.com/post/22502282451/name-freema-agyeman-age-33-dob-march-20>Freema Agyeman or <a href=http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3uw5uKM1A1qckbfro1_500.png>Karen Gillan? YOUR BRAIN TURNS OFF THEY'RE SO GORGEOUS. And don't get me wrong, I love the princesses, but neither of them did more than be pretty and play in a band. Saving a star whale and an entire civilization in the process? Kind of above their pay grade.
In conclusion, all the evidence clearly points to one thing: the Tardis is the greatest time machine in the history of time machines and to think otherwise is to be a crazy person. And if you don't believe me, ask the literal hundreds of millions of people that have watched the show for almost fifty years for a contrary opinion. They might not be that forthcoming.
