Theory: Acachalla Time Lords & TARDIS

This is a theory meant to explain some of the weirdness of the Acachalla family. Papa Acachalla is started as being a Time Lord. What if the rest of the family were also Time Lords and the House was their TARDIS?

Acachalla Time Lords

Papa Acachalla himself is a Time Lord. While the rest of the family are not mentioned as Time Lords, each being either adopted or a different race, that is not to say some of Papa’s essence rubbed off on them.

Billy has the ability to bring people “back from the dead” for unexplained reasons. However, Papa has had more trips and adventures with Billy then any other member. As seen in Doctor Who, Time Lord essence can be transmitted to other people. Due to Papa’s interactions with Billy, Billy may be able to regenerate family members and other people. The family has also been able to revive without Billy’s presence.

Papa is seen as a different Time Lord who has knowledge of other dimensions. His regeneration cycles could be infinite and keep him as the same person.

Acachalla House TARDIS

The Acachalla household seems like a normal house. However, the family has stated they’ve lived on Earth, Venus, and Mars. The kitchen microwave is even an interdimensional gateway and the basement acts as a passage to the Under World. Papa Acachalla even grows nuclear bombs in the garden.

The house being a TARDIS can explain these unnatural qualities. A TARDIS can appear as anything, even a house. A TARDIS also has multiple gadgets and devices. It would also explain Papa Acachalla’s escape from Gallifrey. As a Time Lord, he would need a TARDIS to go rogue and travel the universe, taking his family with him.

It is possible that the TARDIS first hid as a 7-Eleven, which Papa has been shown to own. The chameleon circuit would hide the TARDIS as any item, including a store. This would also explain the unnatural qualities of the store that seem similar to the Acachalla house.
