The Karma-Karma-Karma-Karma-Karma-Chameleon Circuit broke sometime in 1963 while the Doctor was trying to get a girl with no birth certificate or vaccination record signed up for an urban comprehensive school, and in the days before the Psychic Paper, too. If it was working, the TARDIS would be a sneaky box, pretending to be something appropriate to the locale when the Doctor landed. But it's broken, so instead he bums around the universe in a cardboard box painted blue. Other TARDISes have allegedly working Chameleon Circuits, though they tend to be immediately obvious anyways.
