   Someone recently asked what the small sign on the left-hand door on
the Doctor's TARDIS said.  Well the April issue of STARLOG magazine has
a picture of Colin Baker coming out of the TARDIS and the sign says:

			   PUBLIC TELEPHONE

				FREE
			     FOR USE OF
			       PUBLIC

			  ADVICE & ASSISTANCE
			 OBTAINABLE IMMEDIATELY

			   OFFICER & CARS
			 RESPOND TO ALL CALLS

			    PULL TO OPEN

   However, it seems to me that over the years I have seen different signs
(most unreadable) on the door.  This article 'Colin Baker - The Cat Who Walks
By Himself' goes on to say that Doctor Who's production will start this month
with 14 half-hour shows covering only three stories, shorter than Colin's
first season which contained 13 50-minute episodes.  He also goes on to say
that he is quite happy playing the Doctor and has no intention of leaving the
role at this time.  Also, John Nathen-Turner is not being replaced by the BBC.
