The Mirror Police Box appears again. Those in the area should go see it while it's back for the first time since 2001.  http://gallifreyone.com/news.php#newsitemEkFuuFEVEyhgWtIjRo

Doesn't look anything like a TPE TV Tardis.
The proportions look dead on to the Met box plus it would be more difficult to plate an existing item than it would be to build it from scratch using a reflective material.
No way it's a TPE TV box.

I found this in The Guardian: Let's do the time warp again

Definitely a classic police box look, rather than a TARDIS.
Love it!

Whats the background to this 'artwork'? Was it built from scratch by Mark Wallinger or is it a real box underneath? It looks to me to be accurate in it's proprtions! Move over Ed Thomas if it's the former!!  ;D

It's a metal plated TPE TV TARDIS... and it's amazing.

An update: Gary Russell will now be giving a lecture about the secrets of the TARDIS.  Even more bang for your pound!

I have absolutely no information on this at all, other than I found it on Failblog's WIN section:

By the way, I know what you're thinking............
"River, make her blue again!!!"  ;D

this makes me want to position two halves of a Tardis console in the room so that the reflection looks as if you could see through the de-materializing Tardis and into the console room just before she disappears.
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

This photo reminds me of a similarly chromed Dalek that I saw online years ago, just before CO started their range.

I have not seen that photo for years, but I still want that Dalek! :D
In the cities in the streets there's a tension you can feel,
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins,
And the press get fed the scapegoats,
Public Enema Number One.
