ooc: the blue phone box is A tardis, but there could possibly be another tardis, if they managed to break the time lock on the great Time War between the timelords and the daleks in order to procure a new tardis. It could conceivably look like anything. The Doctor's own Tardis is always a Police Box because its chameleon circuit got broken, so that's what it's stuck on. The trick is, regardless of its appearance, it still has an active perception filter which makes people ignore it, similar to the S.E.P. Field in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. (btw SEP stands for "somebody else's problem")
The T.A.R.D.I.S. is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, changes its inner structure from time to time, especially if it gets damaged, is actually alive, can travel through time and space, has a force shield, many rooms including a library, a wardrobe room, the cloister room (i forget its actual function, but the cloister bell sounds when there is something wrong with the tardis), and yes, it can fly.
And don't ever look into the time stream.
