Poll: You May Have Either £1,000,000 or a TARDIS Key

[Lunar Templar]

not being a fan of Dr Who

show me da money

 

[albinoterrorist]

>£1,000,000
>Key to INFINITE WONDER and ADVENTURE - in SPAAAAAAAACE!

Is this seriously meant to be a tough choice?

 

[fenrizz]

This TARDIS machine you speak of can travel trough time, yes?

If so, then I'd take the key travel back to ancient Rome, when it needed a savior the most, and brought with me a ton of books and superior knowledge.

I would transform the legions into an even more effective killing machine.
I would bring knowledge of useful natural resources and an atlas.

With gunpowder, superior shipbuilding technique, steam engines, electricity and a ton of maps I would have ruled the entire world in my lifetime.

 

[Kreett]

I'd go for the key, do you have any idea how much some people would pay to get the actual TARDIS key?!

 

[Alcamonic]

Wouldn't a real TARDIS key give me some sort of supernatural power? I vaguely remember an episode from the new series where the Doctor and his crew got invisible while holding the key because it existed out of phase with reality, or something like that.

Also, I would never go with him into the TARDIS. He has a bad habit of abandoning or otherwise get his... helpers (love objects?) into trouble all the time.

The key + ebay + ? = profit.

 

[Davih]

Tardis Key then sell it for more than £1 mil because some rich guy will surely want it

 

[dave1004]

I don't know what the heck a TARDIS is for (First guess is the realm of tards?), so...I'll go with the money. Thanks anyways though, but it really wasn't much of a poll. Should have added a loli catgirl in there somewhere.

 

[reyttm4]

Money all the way. I can only imagine fucking up time if I got my hands on a TARDIS

 

[Smeggs]

ok, riddle me this, imagine you found out that time lords and tardises exist! but, as in the show, the odds of ever meeting one are more or less zero, now imagine you had a chance to own your very own tardis key! no tardis, just the key, but tardis keys still have pretty funky potential for time lord awesomeness, alternatively, you could have £1,000,000 ($1,500,000) how did this decision come to present itself to you? i dunno, it just did

personally, i love doctor who and think having a tardis key would be frickin' awesome, but god knows what i'd do with it, so i'd probably just take the money

Damnit, I didn't read the whole thing, I should have gone for the $1mil.

Why in the hell would I want the key to a Tardis if the odds are virtually zero that I'd find a Tardis?

 

[Daverson]

The money.

I don't actually know how to operate the TARDIS, and given it's built by an alien species older than most of the stars in the sky, probably not going to be able to figure it out in my lifetime.

 

[dickywebster]

Thing is, if you do get a tardis, theres nothing to stop you opening an account years ago, sticking in say £1 and then returning home rich, in theory.
Or just turning up inside a bank vault and running off with all the money.
But as a massive doctor who fan (matt smith might be able to redeem himself at somepoint), i would jsut love to have a tardis

 

[Legomaniac91_v1legacy]

I's take the key. Once you have access to the TARDIS, you could go back to the 1980s, invest in Apple, and earn double the money offered.

 

[Risingblade]

The money I want nothing to do with this Dr who nonsense

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

Also imagine how much torch wood or unit would pay for that key!

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

Also imagine how much torch wood or unit would pay for that key!

Why pay when they can steal and retcon?

 

[Joccaren]

Wasn't there some feature built into the Key that allowed whoever held it to remotely control the TARDIS? Or am I thinking of something else?
Anyway, TARDIS key. If the TARDIS shows up - awesome. If it doesn't - I've got a very rare collector's piece that if I ever need money I could likely sell, though I really wouldn't want to.

 

[Genericjim101]

Timelords are immortal, right? They also have the power to travel through space and time. So, theoretically, shouldn't the entire universe just be filled with billions and billions of Timelords at any one time?

The chance of meeting one would be pretty high, if not infinitely high. Then again, you don't really see that in the show from what I understand (I've not watched all that much of it). But then, if you're playing by the rules of the TV show, there is a 100% chance that coincidences would conspire to meet you with The Doctor anyway, and assuming you're a good guy, you're unlikely to come out of the situation harmed.

So yeah, I'd go with the key. Seems like a better deal no matter how the situation unfolds, and there's only so much you can do with £1,000,000 before you'd get bored of it.

Sorry dude, Galifrey burned and The Doctor is "The Only timelord", well that's his schtick anyway as other timelords that seem to appear are quickly trapped out of reach. Or worse you come across The Master.
