Trivia: During filming, Tom Baker (The Doctor) was bitten on the left side of his upper lip by a dog belonging to Paul Seed (Graff Vyda-K). As a result, publicity stills for "The Ribos Operation" saw Baker wearing a plaster on his face, and for the remainder of filming he required heavy and uncomfortable make-up application to cover the wound. The scar remained visible for much of Season 16.

Answer: TARDISes are generally available for properly authorised use on Gallifrey; they're not usually assigned to a particular Timelord on a long-term basis. The Doctor stole his when he left his homeworld.
