London turns pink as Doctor Who Tardis celebrates Barbie

Placed on the banks of the Tower of London, the Barbie pink Tardis was spotted in the early hours of July 12. 

Although not completely covered, one corner peaks out of the original blue, and fans of Doctor Who and Barbie have been non-stop snapping pictures of the item. 

The Barbie Tardis does come with a notice, as a filming notice has been placed nearby Warner Bros. 

In the notice the production company shares that “if you enter this area, it is likely that you will be filmed and your image and/or voice will appear in our recordings.”

Fans of Barbie and Doctor Who have been quick to share their excitement.

One fan wrote: “This is amazing!” and another added “OMG”.

Many think that the Barbie Tardis has appeared as a nod to Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa who is also set to appear in the Barbie movie. 

Gatwa has also taken to Instagram to post a story of the Barbie Tardis, writing: “Guess who’s in town..”

Keeping fans on their toes as they expect the Sex Education star to appear on the site of the Tardis.
