S22E1 · Attack of the Cybermen Part 1

Doctor attempts risky TARDIS repair landing in 1985 London

Spare circuit boards litter a small table in the TARDIS corridor, repurposed as components in the Doctor's reckless repair attempt. Their chaotic arrangement reflects the TARDIS's degraded state and the Doctor's post-regenerative improvisations, which compromise system stability.

Before: Cluster of salvaged, worn components awaiting installation or further repair

After: Partially integrated into the chameleon circuit, creating unstable connections

S22E1 · Attack of the Cybermen Part 1

Doctor and Peri foil Lytton's diamond heist

The spare circuit boards are part of the Doctor’s reckless attempt to repair the chameleon circuit in the TARDIS corridor. Their improvised application contributes to the TARDIS’s temporal instability, indirectly triggering the materialization near UIP House and creating the overlap with Lytton’s heist operations.

Before: Stored on a small table in the TARDIS corridor, accumulated as salvaged components for emergency repairs.

After: Reintegrated into the TARDIS’s failing systems, now part of its erratic temporal behavior following the Doctor’s hasty work.
