DR WHO fans are incensed. His treasured time-travelling space ship, the Tardis, is no longer going to masquerade as a police box to the outside world.<br />
<br />
Glenn Robinson, of Beaumaris, wrote to the Green Guide recently to complain about the decision and the cause:<br />
<br />
"When I read the news that the doctor's Tardis would be going, I couldn't believe my eyes,',' wrote Glenn. "Not the Tardis itself but its police box form. The producer, John Nathan-Turner, says that young viewers do not know what a police box is.<br />
<br />
"The police box is part of Dr Who and that is what Dr Who is all about, a Time Lord who travels in a police box. I don't know what's going to replace the police box but it better be pretty good."<br />
<br />
The original reason for using a police telephone box for time and space travel was that it had become jammed in that form on a previous visit to Earth. Inside the Tardis is room for a six-panelled console with an oscillating glass column called the time rotor.<br />
<br />
How could the outside be so much smaller than the inside? Because the exterior existed in our physical world and the interior belonged to a different dimension. That is how the Tardis received its intriguing name: Time and Relative Dimensions In Space.<br />
<br />
