Big plot hole in Doctor Who.

On re-watching Doomsday, I noticed a big plot hole that I missed the first time. If everything that had ever passed through the void got sucked back into it, why didn't the TARDIS?

Maybe part of it's tech? You can always explain inconsistencies in sci-fi... ;)

Maybe the void-stuff only stuck to living things. Both Daleks and Cybermen have organic componants.

I'll take that explanation, and try not to listen too closely whenever they do one of their "the TARDIS is alive" stories.

Ah, but "alive" doesn't necessarily mean "organic".

True enough.
