Hazard > ihnp4!ihuxe!hazard Are you certain it was between those two episodes? I thought that the revisions came during "Enlightenment". As you'll recall, the Eternals made the TARDIS vanish for good. Only when they needed the Doctors help did they reassemble it. They did this by having the Doctor concentrate his thoughts on the TARDIS. They picked his mind and reconstructed the TARDIS. I distinctly remember Toulough (sp?) asking the Doctor "Is it the TARDIS? Will it really work?" and the Doctor replying "Probably better than ever, I suspect." Perhaps the Doctor imagined in his mind what the TARDIS should look like if it were in tip-top shape (which, in the past, it never has been). The Eternals created for him the new, improved TARDIS.

In the episode, Enlightenment, the Eternals did NOT destroy the Tardis, they hid it in the Doctors own mind. I don't remember the exact line where they told the Doctor this, but it was something like "The Tardis has been with you all along." John L.
