''In all those cases, however, the TARDIS is stationary, in this case it is in motion – therefore more dangerous'' That still doesn't explain about when [[Jack Harkness]] clung on to the ''outside'' of the TARDIS.'' That's because Jack is a fixed point in time and space; even the harsh environment of the Time Vortex couldn't kill him. The TARDIS is sentient and has been known to have a mind of its own from time to time. Perhaps it chose to protect the Doctor's friends.'' That still doesn't explain what happened in ''[[Planet of Giants]]''. ''pehaps the Doctor added some safety measures or changed the circuitry slightly to make sure it did not happen again.'' | ||
