I spotted a real Tardis in the background of a 2001 episode of Taggart shown on
Dutch TV yesterday.

It is now!
Jack Warner was asking Kathleen Harrison for a big kiss.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary a "plonker" was
1. a. orig. and chiefly Eng. regional (north.). Something large or
substantial of its kind.
[selected quotes]
1862 C. C. ROBINSON Dial. Leeds & Neighbourhood 386 A plonker is
an article having extraordinary substance. A piece of woven material
unusually thick is a plonker.
1903 Eng. Dial. Dict. IV. 550/1 That turnip's a plonker.
1950 D. EASTWOOD Diary 6 Mar., in River Diary 24, I lost another
much bigger one [sc. a fish], a real plonker!
2. slang (chiefly Brit. and Austral.).
a. The penis. Also in extended use.
to pull one's plonker: to masturbate; to pull a person's plonker:
to deceive a person humorously or playfully;...
1949 E. PARTRIDGE Dict. Slang (ed. 3) Add. 1138/1 Plonker, penis:
low: since ca. 1917.
1988 Independent 21 Sept. 13/2 The 16,000 wives in the harem of
Krishna used the sacred plonker as religious dildos.
1989 Re: Toothpaste, BMG & Columbia in rec.music.cd (Usenet
newsgroup) 30 Oct., This, to my line of thinking, is someone pulling
your plonker, so to speak.

I don't think I've ever heard of a kiss being called a "plonker".
"Smacker" is much more likely.

I'm not sure that I have either. I think I can remember a big kiss being
called "plonking" as in this audio clip from the Museum of London:
http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/archive/londonsvoices/veday/interview.asp?theme_id=3&interview_id=29
Click on "Show transcript" to see the words.
"And then when the war finished, VE Day,... And my grandmother, she
had that blooming coat on, she never left it off, she was sort of,
you know, jumping up and down in the air, and this sailor came along
and he got hold of her and he bent her right back and gave her a
great big plonking kiss, honestly.

But I don't think that "plonking" is reserved for kissing. "To plonk"
essentially means "to do something suddenly and forcefully" or "to apply
suddenly" - as in "He plonked his bag down on the floor". To "plonk a
kiss" means a "sudden, enthusiastic kiss".
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/plonk
offers this meaning:
v. tr.
1.To throw or place heavily or abruptly: plunked the money down on the
counter.
Of course, "plonk" has several other meanings.
