This [kitschy TARDIS Doctor Who crewneck sweater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sopranos-range) design is perfect for fans of the popular [sci-fi BBC show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2). The sweater cleverly quotes the tenth Doctor's explanation of space time travelling.

The Doctor Who universe is founded upon the idea of time travel because it's how each of the Doctors venture off to various galaxies and planets to protect the world from aliens, crime and intergalactic beasts. While the Doctor uses the TARDIS navy blue phone box as his time machine, many people aren't sure how the time travelling aspect works. This sweater quotes the show's popular tenth Doctor when he comically explained time travelling as a "big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff." If you know someone whose a big Doctor Who fan, this sweater is sure to make them laugh.
