Zeichick- 130 Moosehead Blvd., Bangor, Maine 04401 (207) 942-7512 DATE: October 5, 1983 Wednesday at 13:23 ----------------------------- In reponse to the discussion about the TARDIS, I am able to supply some information regarding this strange method of travel. The TARDIS as used by the Doctor is an old style British police box - that is a box found in major cities on main roads to enable the public to call the police without having to leave the scene of an accident or whatever. The Doctor's TARDIS is always in the style of this police box but the TARDIS of the Master, the Doctor's arch-enemy, has the ability to change into any shape or form desired. The Master is the Time-Lord of the Dark Side of Galifrey and is so devious that he alone has managed to steal enough technology to build such a super-TARDIS. The Doctor's never 'jammed' into the shape of a police box, but was designed to be like that. By the way, the Doctor is 900 years old, not 750!P Colin Baker is a British actor of good quality who I would not have thought of as being the next Doctor but since he is to be that, I hope he does it well. He doesn't have the same humour as Tom Baker (no relation) and always appears to be annoyed at something -he usually isn't! He did appear in several episodes of Dr. Who but I'm afraid I can't remember which ones. It may have been the 'Brain of Morbius'... Hope I've been of help... -Carole
