its a shame they are not being aired as part of Children In Need but it might take some explaining as to where they fit in the timelineJust the two, and while I could be nitpicky about lots of things here, I won't because they're both just so fun.
They could show the scenes that precede the clips (like a 'previously on').
could do, easier with the first one. Easier for non fans to place in the timeline
It may only be for one frame, but Barbara! the professor who never ages. AwwwwwThis makes me way happier than it should.
Continuity error in there too - Liz Shaw never travelled in the TARDIS.
. In his novel Wages of Sin, she does travel with the Doctor and Jo for at least one adventure set during season ten.
Well, the word used was "inhabitants" and not "crewmembers", so maybe she just slept in the TARDIS at one point.
Loved the clips. They're surprisingly continuity-heavy and frank. So the TARDIS analyses everything within hundreds of miles in a nanosecond and changes into a police box every time? I had thought that the second bit might be the case. The first reminds me of one of the First Doctor novelisations - Something similar was stated in either The Crusaders or The Keys Of Marinus, I think. I wonder if it was ever stated before on screen.
these clips are great! can't wait for the DVD to come out.
no, TARDIS's analyses everything within hundreds of miles in a ns and changes into something that blends into the background, but The Doctor's Chameleon circuit broke after he took Babara and Ian on board, and it's got stuck as a police box.
^ It could've broke sometime before Ian & Barbara came aboard.
We don't know how long it was in the junkyard.

^ very true. I should've just said "before the very first episode in 1963"
I think the TARDIS would've been there for a while, the episode didn't felt like it was Susan's first day at school. So, it's the prolong exposure to all the junk that broke the TARDIS' chameleon circuit.

I actually kind of like the idea that, rather than being frozen as a Police Box, the TARIDS actually goes to the trouble to reset its appearance every time, but just keeps deciding to change to a Police Box. Like how Dirk Gently's calculator returned any solution of four or above as "A suffusion of yellow." It'd also explain why, occasionally, it's a different Police Box.
Also, "Everyone's young compared to me" is so Tenth Doctor, it's actually a little creepy.

After he kidnaps Ian and Barbara in episode 2 he is alarmed to find it is still a Police Box, so that is almost certainly the first trip it made stuck.
Of course it may have already been faulty - why would a Police Box be in a Junkyard? On the other side of the wall outside the Junkyard it would have been a perfect disguise. Perhaps it did land there and was just moved the old fashioned way
Five months, apparently, going by Susan's statement in the first episode.
Exactly. It's hinted at in Logopolis, implied by Attack Of The Cybermen and finally stated outright by the Doctor in the clip. The circuit might not even be malfunctioning at all, unless the decision-making process is part of the circuit itself. I also liked the Doctor's statement that the police box exterior hadn't been with him for long.
I always found it strange that a police box wasn't out of place inside a junkyard.
Like it had been somewhere else where a police box would be more apt.
Unless it was a city run junkyard where they put old police boxes and we didn't see the others.

"Get your coat, love - the Doctor is in!"
Loved the Flesh and Stone clip most - greathomage to the lady companions. How many were women, were they hot? Brilliant.
I did love Smith's delivery of the TARDIS-as-a-police-box line as well "... and then it materialises as a police box from 1963. It may be a fault."

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the Sixth Doctor already repair the faulty circuit? As I recall (my memory may be off) he fixed the circuit, and the TARDIS...after a moment's hesitation...transformed itself into a couple odd things like a organ and a stove and some such items.
Each time they moved, the TARDIS changed its appearance, and then at the end of the episode it just flat decides to change back to a Police Box. I don't remember hearing that the circuit broke again in the episode, or that the Doctor directly did anything. It just seemed the TARDIS wanted to be a Police Box (old, stubborn thing that she is).
If my memory is more or less correct, then in essence the Doctor has fixed it and fixed it a long time ago. The TARDIS just keeps picking a Police Box on its own.
Also, I believe Donna babbled that she not only knew how to fix the Doctor's chemelon circuit, but also that he could do so easily if he anted to (implying that he chooses to let it stay broken).
You're thinking of the aforementioned Attack Of The Cybermen from 1985. There had been talk of ditching the police box, but apparently the idea proved unpopular with viewers. In AOTC, the newly-regenerated Sixth Doctor takes it upon himself to get the TARDIS changing shape again. Cue several journeys over the two-episode story, the last of which has the TARDIS reverting to a police box. If I recall, a gun went off inside it and the shot may have hit a roundel that the Doctor had been working on. I don't think that the temporary success or the reversion were ever mentioned in dialogue after that.
It wasn't. The TARDIS materializes as a police box, the Doc ppps out, sees it, smiles, and pats her fondly.
I'm glad the unfixed it (and I'm willing to be that the whole thing was a one-shot publicity stunt anyway). Aside from the police box ebing iconic in the first place, AOTC showed just how corny it would have been to forever have people entering the TARDIS by WALKING BEHIND A PROP. The police box has a door already, and gives us something the viewer can identify as an entrance.

In the clip between Eleventh Hour and Beast Below, did anybody else notice the Latin position indicators on the throttle when 11 stops the TARDIS (at ~2:24)? I can't make out the "all stop" position but the opposite position is "avanti" which means either "forward" or "before" and the middle one is "folle", which means "idle" in the context of a gear wheel, but also means "mad man"
