:: The Daleks were able to open the T.A.R.D.I.S and they werent 100% experts like the Master so the thing that the Master tried to open the T.A.R.D.I.S with a knife isnt impossible.

::For all the fine talk about elaborate security systems, DNA locks, cipher idents and the like, we should remember that for large parts of the series the TARDIS can be opened with what appears to be a simple cylinder lock key. This suggests one of two possibilities: 1. the TARDIS key merely ''looks'' like a cylinder key, but is in fact far more complicated and not quite what it seems on the surface, meaning that the principle can be extended to suggest that the Master's lockpick is in fact not just a letter opener but is in fact ''also'' more complex than it seems. Or 2. the Doctor is bluffing with all that talk about the TARDIS's elaborate security systems and it is, in fact, possible to jimmy open the TARDIS lock with a letter opener. Whichever one is the truth is open to the reader but, let's be honest, it's not like either is impossible given what we know of both the Doctor and the TARDIS. | |||
