OK, help me out.
My memory/knowledge of Classic Who is sketchy at best.
But ISTR a scene I watched as a child where some Time Lords were looking at a kind of Argos catalogue of TARDIS models.
All of them looked like variations on a theme, that theme being white police-box type models, not the rather non-descript columns featured in Name of the Doctor.
So, has vodka addled my memory, or did something like that happen in the late 70s or early 80s?
Thanks in advance.

Hehe.
Let's wait for other posters.
You may be right.
Triple-Distilled Will Fall.
I've done a full rewatch of the classics (including the reconstructions) over the last few months and there is no such scene either shown or spoken in the audio.
This was around 1975 or so, and I was 7 years old. Still, it's bugged me for years..
I was in my late teens and just discovering "herbs" at that time . However, I still don't recall anything in my recent full rewatch that matches it.
They were all "Call Boxes" and were blue. They had to complete a game to win the chance to find the right TARDIS before The Doctor finished HIS challenge. Completing the Trilogic game.
There is a scene in the Deadly Assassin (which is 1976), about 4 minutes into part 1, where a couple of the Time Lord guards (dressed in red but with trimmed in white with white shoulder pads), open a box (which looks a little like a leather bound book) of TARDIS keys (which are off-white rectangles).
I don't know if you are mis-remembering that scene?

That's entirely possible. I'd need to see it.
Try here.
Thank you.
Bizarrely, that clip isn't the one in my memory, but the costume of the Time Lord President is.
I (mis)remember two or three Time Lords, dressed just like that, perusing the Book of Tardises (Tardi?).
My confusion, at the time, was why would these Tardises look like police-boxes of various shapes and heights, when the Doctor's only looked like that because of the broken Chameleon Circuit?
It was descriped as a low, white dome.
Maybe it is in the telly version of the story too?
Bruce, I can't see any image..:(

Let me try that AGAIN
It took you a few months? I'm currently finishing season 5 (Fury From The Deep) and it's taken me ages to get to this point! Love it though =]
I'm an old crippled retired man that used to be in the Navy. I have nothing better to do then watch Doctor Who and Torchwood :cool:
