A Doctor Who fan has brought a childhood dream to life by building a full-scale replica of the interior of the Tardis in his back garden.
Brendan Sheppard and a small team spent two years recreating the console room from 1983 at his home in South Kyme, Lincolnshire.
“This is the first time in nearly 40 years that it has been completely remade, 100% accurate,” Sheppard said.
Visitors can step through a full-size police box into the Tardis, work the controls and dress up in classic costumes.
Sophie Aldred, who played Ace in the show, officially opened the experience on Monday.
At the centre of the room is a hexagonal console with recreations of the original buttons and switches seen in the TV programme, along with a scanner screen and other props.
