Why does the TARDIS look like a Police Box (phone booth)?
SA) It’s a disguise LA) In the same way the TARDIS can change its interior, the TARDIS should change its exterior appearence when it lands to blend in with its surroundings. This is known as the Chameleon Circuit, however it is broken. The first time we see the TARDIS in the original series it looks just like it does now in a junk yard, which feasibly could have been a disguise, since I guess old ones could have ended up in Junk yards. An old one was recently discovered in Glasgow in a bricked up railway arch.
