An anti-census campaigner in New Zealand is hoping to avoid today's compulsory national count by hiding in a TARDIS, it's reported.
The self-styled Laird McGillicuddy, otherwise known as Graeme Cairns, says he is using the Doctor Who time-travelling space craft to boycott the five-yearly census by "travelling in time", the New Zealand Herald reports.
Mr Cairns, who was once the leader of the satirical McGillicuddy Serious Party, has a history of unusual stunts to protest the census, which is compulsory for all New Zealanders.
He's once claimed not to be in New Zealand by hovering above the city of Hamilton in a hot-air balloon, and on another occasion declared himself "temporarily dead".
He risks a fine of up to NZ$500 (US$362; £261) for refusing to fill out the form, the Stuff.co.nz website says. Five years ago, there were around 100 prosecutions for census avoidance.

Re-Tardis..................
The guy can fill the form with lies for free...
Taking a census is a bad idea. Just read 2 Samuel 24.
I have to admit that Dr. Who episode with the guy who thought he was the Doctor was good.
The balloon TARDIS was a good idea.
