The police box, not the telephone box

So the tardis lost her ability to adopt to the time and environment? What a shame.

I've always said that Tardis would take the appearance of a chemical toilet in today's world.

It can be placed everywhere without raising any suspicion at all.

And no one would want to go in it, brilliant.

They are even mostly blue too!

Well yes, that's the explanation given for masquerading as a police box from the 60s at all times, chameleon circuits are broken and brakes are stuck on

Yes, happened in the very first episode. What a coincidence.

I love how the plot of the first two seasons is that doctor shows the teachers of his granddaughter (yes, he has family) that the tardis works and goes with them to the stone age. Then he tries to go back and it takes him 2 seasons.

Shame about the lost episodes. I could totally see William Hartnell doing a couple episodes where he visits the BBC repositories to save the chronicles of his adventures from the various fires/ other reasons that we lost episodes.

I'm clearly getting old because mose whovians these days haven't seen any of the original doctors, or at best Tom bloody Baker. Sod off!

Honestly, I'm too young to remember Old Who but at some point I was invested enough to start at the beginning. I did not make it to the Time War but I can confirm that Ton Baker is the best!

Let me share a piece of trivia: Tom Baker had an apparence in the 2013 episode "The Day of the Doctor" as curator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cbQVfVfSrI
