Pink Doctor Who Tardis lands in London to celebrate Barbie film

A hot pink Tardis has been spotted in London, leaving both Barbie and Doctor Who fans ecstatic. It appeared next to Tower Bridge yesterday (July 11) and was officially shared by Doctor Who's official Twitter account today.

The iconic police box allows The Doctor to travel through time and space during the popular show which was recently filmed in Bristol. Although the Tardis is always blue, the Barbie-fied version that has appeared in London has undergone a pink paint job.

The Barbie film is set to hit cinemas on July 21. Ncuti Gatwa, who is taking over as the Doctor later this year, is set to star as Ken in the film and the new pink Tardis is the perfect celebration for the new movie.

The official Doctor Who Twitter account tweeted a picture of the pink Tardis with Tower Bridge in the background. The post was captioned: "Come on TARDIS, let's go party #DoctorWho."

Many fans have since replied to the tweet, sharing their excitement for the upcoming Barbie film. @ethxhope shared two images of the Tardis, writing: "Just walked past it! Made my morning commute!"

@Praxeus_stan added: "This is genuinely some of the best marketing EVER." Meanwhile, @hendrixgreyson put: "Iconic."

@janosamargulia3 agreed: "No way both of the marketing teams are being fantastic at there job." @WhovianLife wrote: "ITS SO FABULOUS."

A sign next to the pink Tardis says: "Warner Bros is currently filming for a promotional and publicity campaign for 'Barbie'." It adds that anybody who walks in the area and does not want to be part of the promotional video should leave immediately.
