I heard from the Dr. Who fan club of America that in the first season of the 6th dr. (Colin Baker), the Chameleon circuit is repaired, and that the blue police box is being phased out. -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307

Yes, sad to say... They say it happens in "Vengeance on Varos," the second story of Season 22, and the third Colin Baker story. I wonder how Colin Baker manages to fix it... A. G. Percus (ARPA) percus@nyu-acf4 (NYU) percus.acf4 (UUCP) ...!ihnp4!cmcl2!acf4!percus

I have no proof of this, but I have confirmation from several sources. Ken Varnum

Well, I just saw "Vengeance on Varos", and sure enough, the Doctor *does* manage to repair the Chameleon Circuit (with a little help from the TARDIS manual, of course). We get to see lots of fun things the TARDIS disguises itself as (a victorian stove in a junkyard (guess which junkyard?) and a pipe organ when in a large drainage ditch ("Doctor, I thought it was supposed to *camouflage* itself" "It *is*. It's just a bit out of practice, that's all...")). Luckily, during the same show we see that it finally breaks down again (no explanation during the show, maybe in the next?) and ends up as a policebox. Thank goodness, eh?

Wait a sec...the last I heard about all this was: JN-T had made a public announcement that the TARDIS would be repaired, and the public outcry (apparently one of the largest they have had concerning Dr. Who) was such that he backed down. Now, can someone either verify this or is it poppycock? --- Rob DeMillo MACC ...seismo!uwvax!uwmacc!demillo "...I don't know what this is, but it's pointing in your direction..."
