A new discussion topic and something that has been bothering me for a while:

Why is a TARDIS so big?


The Doctor's TARDIS is usually occupied by no more than 3 or four people,
namely the Doctor and his companion(s). The few times that we see another
TARDIS (such as the Master's), it too has only one or two occupants. On the
other hand, the evidence is that the interior of the TARDIS is as large as
a city and could easily accomodate an extremely larger number of people.

At one time did whole crews of Time Lords travel the universe like the crew
of the Enterprise or is a TARDIS just big because it doesn't have to be
small (what with Transdimensional Physics and all)? I can see where some of
the labs and some basic living quarters might be needed, but would a
handful of individuals really need a cloister?
