Glimpses of the ship reveal a world of verdant green - natural enough to make you feel relaxed, but close enough to civilization to whisk you to a Med-Bay to cure your worst illnesses, the focus of the films protagonist Max. Sadly, only the ultra-rich get to live and party here, but for what it's worth, Elysium looks a lot like a paradise. Set in 2154, when the earth is ravaged by disease and pollution, the upper classes have retreated to a vast space station, leaving the poor below, according to Roger Ebert. This is a massive space station that actually looks like another world. Neil Blomkamp's 2013 sci-fi thriller Elysium is fundamentally a fairly depressing story, its titular ship is both a marvel of technology and design. NEXT: A plucky warrior Battlestar Galactica (Battlestar Galactica, 2004-09) Although there are ways to damage a TARDIS, one of the only sure fire methods is to have one TARDIS materialize around another, a process catchily named a "Time Ram". Not only this, but the TARDIS itself is a living being which withstand gunfire, falling from great heights or even entering a planet's atmosphere. First-time visitors are always surprised at how big the interior is - "It's bigger on the inside", is the famous line - as well as the ability of the TARDIS to blend into its surroundings.
It travel through time, but also space, taking the characters to adventures on space stations or planets such as Skaro, the home of the Daleks. At first glance, the TARDIS appears like a mere time-travel machine, whisking characters back to chat with people like author Mary Shelley, inventor Nicholas Tesla and nurse Mary Seacole. As such it's no surprise that the titular timelords ship appears less like a futuristic vessell and more like a 1960's Police Box, but once you get inside the magic really starts to happen. From long scarves to Daleks, Cybermen to Sea Devils, and even the villainous Kandyman (an evil robot constructed from sweets, according to Television Heavan), it's not a show that's ever been short on imagination. Since it's first broadcast in 1963, Doctor Who has become something of a British institution.
