A bit of both, if memory serves. It was mostly there to direct the Doctor and his companions when it was needed, and once it moved the TARDIS to help the Doctor. It never did speak, simply point a lot. Looked kinda like a glowing mummy.

And if this next self was able to talk while the Doctor was style alive, did it have a separate intelligence from that of the dying Doctor? Sorry, I'll do some Web search to catch up, but I'm enjoying getting this info from you! -------------- Original message -------------- From: Martin Pratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (taking over from the guy who took my keyboard while I was out) Back in '81, when Tom Baker's Doctor regenerated in "Logopolis", there was a ghostly figure lurking nearby through part of the ep. The Doctor seemed to know who it was, and was duly unnerved at its presence. At the end, after the Doctor was injured saving the Universe, the figure appeared, reaching out to him as he lay "dying", muttering, "The moment has been provided for." Turns out that the figure was the Doctor's next incarnation, there to facilitate the regeneration.
