As far as I know, this is just a resurrection of the same rumor from about eight months back. The TARDIS in its current form is the ONLY thing that has remained unchanged throughout the show's 21-year history. Altering it, even by fixing the Chamelion circuit, would be like killing off the Doctor to most fans. There's no good reason to do it--and I don't think that JNT will. What started this thing up again? If you have a recent source for this rumor, please post it. [Your best friends' next-door-neighbor's cousin doesn't count :-)] .rne. ----- Real World . .

[Your best friends' next-door-neighbor's cousin >doesn't count :-)] The rumour was started up again by the fact that in "Attack of the Cybermen," the TARDIS changes into a hfsjdl, then a hgfjksal, and finally a hsajkl, before a fdjskal;klaf;s causes the TARDIS to return to the shape of a police box. -- James C Armstrong, Jnr. { ihnp4 || allegra || mcnc || cbosgb } !abnji!jca "You said you came from Fulham."
