Meet budding Telford Time Lord Jason Wardman. He keeps a replica life-size Tardis in his conservatory.
The married dad-of-two, 36, took four months to build a copy of Doctor Who’s time machine as a birthday present for his five-year-old son Adam.
The factory worker and carpenter found plans for the Tardis on the internet and spent evenings and weekends painstakingly putting it together.
Mr Wardman, of Admaston Road, Wellington, said his Tardis is just like the real thing with a flashing blue light on the roof - but he admits that is not quite as roomy inside as the Doctor’s machine.
He now hopes to hire out the 8ft Tardis for children’s parties and corporate events.
Mr Wardman said: “It’s just like the real thing and has all the signs properly painted.
“Inside it’s just an empty police box and not a spaceship. I’m good, but I’m not that good.” He said he has been a fan of the BBC TV sci-fi show since he was a child.
Mr Wardman is not the only nimble-fingered Telford fan of the much-loved Time Lord.
Last month we reported that former heroin user Nick Stokes, 33, from Randlay, was poised to launch a new business venture after designing a mini Tardis computer case.
The fourth series of Doctor Who is currently on our screens.
