Rob Brydon, an actor who hoped to be cast as the "new Dr. Who", owned a fully-functional TARDIS of his own. Though capable of dematerialising, the ship, which resembled an ordinary red telephone box, did not appear to be bigger on the inside.
After materialising his TARDIS in Ebbw Vale, Brydon used the phone inside to call the BBC. Not yet acquiescing to his petition to become the new Doctor, they instead set him on the trail of two Daleks who had escaped in that very town to cause mayhem. When he came back to his TARDIS, it refused to take off, instead emitting large clouds of steam. Helpless, Brydon asked a passerby for help repairing it. (NOTVALID: Summer Scene)
