I'm still working on the 60's development version.  <shakes_head>.  
Might have helped if someone had told me it had a live biological life 
form in it joined to a valve set and some 70's integrated circuits as 
well as some 50th century electronic devices from another solar sytem.  
Nightmare scenario ?  Not as bad as the Nimrod refuelling project was.  
God.. was that ever a nightmare ;)  MK1, MK2, MK3.. Valve set, 
transistors, integrated circuits joined together with some other 
devices that looked only fictional.  Wiring diagram ?  There was a fair 
bit of spaghetti.  Might have been wire.  The Mars bars stuffed down 
the back of the set just added a bit more to the confusion over what 
Ohms law and resistance was all about.

Nice to find the Tardis has a womans personality though.  Still 
wondering where all of those socks and ties keep going to.  Probably 
somewhere in the 26th century by now.   Nothing's quite been the same 
since I did all that stuff in the BBC TV centre in London.
