'Doctor Who' fan turns her house into a TARDIS

'Doctor Who' fan turns her house into a TARDIS

Do you think you're a "Doctor Who" super fan? You say you have all the sonic screwdrivers out there and you yell "Geronimo" at every opportunity? You call perplexing situations all "wibbly wobbly timey wimey" and tell people that "bow ties are cool." Well, all that put together is still not enough to rival one Glasgow fan who turned her house into a TARDIS.

For you non-Whovians, TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It's the vehicle with which the Doctor travels through time and space and is shaped like a 1960's blue police box. It's also what the door to Erica Quinn's home looks like. Mirror reports that she even matched the paint color from the original police box that still exists at the corner of Glasgow's Botanic Gardens, not far from her home.

In addition to the TARDIS door, Quinn has life-sized cardboard cutouts of the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors (David Tennant and Matt Smith), companion Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and time agent Captain Jack (John Barrowman), and a Dalek looking out the window of her home. (Daleks may look like upside down garbage cans holding a plunger to non-Who fans, but trust us, they'll kick your butt!)

Quinn rearranges the characters every year and dresses them up for holidays. Captain Jack even wore a black armband last year to mourn the Tenth incarnation of the Doctor. Quinn, who lives with her husband and two children says, "I call it my double take door. People walk by and just stop and stare. People have started calling me the Doctor Who House Lady." Lady, we love it with both of our hearts.
