I just came actoss this image:

Upon seeing that, you'll notice something right away:
Thing is, where is he? That looks like Matt Smith's TARDIS, and I can't think of any reason for him to be there - except one.
Steven Moffat is retconning the Roundels.
Those circular white or grey semitransparent discs that once decorated the brilliant white walls of the first seven Doctors seem to have been completely replaced, and instead the image appears to suggest Matt Smith's current TARDIS interior has always been the default one the Doctor always used in the classic series.
While it's absolutely brilliant and amazing to finally see proof of one returnee, and many will be incredibly happy about this, the TARDIS situation might just be enough to anger those very same people.
What do you think? Do you think the Roundels are being retconned, or is the returnee somehow in the wrong TARDIS? And what do you think about the returnee?

That photo came from the BBC owned website:
http://www.doctorwho.tv/whats-new/article/coleman-we-finally-understand-why-the-doctor-has-met-clara-so-many-times
An image from that site hardly constitutes proof of a leak
give me a break
It was either use 11s tardis for the scene or not have the scene, BBC was not going to pay to recreate the Roundels for a 5 second scene
get a grip, SM is not the root of all evil
What in the name of Rassilon poses for logic around these parts?
Why would he need to?
They would have been already present in the footage they snipped that Doctor out of. Instead of placing Clara into old footage, they stuck that him into new footage - which makes no sense since his TARDIS never looked like that.
I think it's why they wrote in the arch recon.
Couldn't be further from a Peri outfit!
I mean, have you seen Who is in the background of that pic?? :eek:
I don't think even Moffat would be so arrogant as to say that past companions were nothing more than reflections of his companion.
In a 'time can be rewritten' way?
Or a 'memories can be rewritten' way.
oh no... it was more trying to recocile my understanding of outfits eith the eras..... Clara seems to like high necks.
More in a 'Big Finish expanding the classic stories' kind of way.
