Could it be that Moffat has actually made a good design decision, I think it could very well be. Of course I reserve my final decision until seeing it on screen. As much as it pains me from saying it, it makes the Coral desktop look extremely plain. It seems to be very close to the Coral Desktop so maybe it’s even close on the list of Desktops as well. I don’t like the bottom of it though, not yet anyway. I love the stairs; all I wanted was a door in the old console room even if it didn’t go anywhere. I believe there was plans for one for S3 but were cancelled when they had to move the whole set to Upper Boat.

Looks like someone's gone round Tennant's, scrubbed off all the mold and had all the artrex removed.

Would prefer a smaller room, I think all the new console rooms to date have too much of a film studio ambience about them.

To the extent it works at all, that is.

It does actually look like it has regenerated, rather than changing the theme, which I thought was a nice decision. Although I agree, the coral has kind of been... flattened.

I am kinda liking the pics and the TARDIS staircase. Will we get to see the other rooms I wonder? Amy's bedroom, the zero room, the swimming pool. Of course how well it works will depend on how it looks when the series actually gets going and how much we all want to believe

Reminds me somewhat of a Star Trek alien ship, although I can’t quite put my finger on what.

Maybe a Romulan engine room?

By the way… anyone remember this TARDIS interior?

the question i am asking is howdoes the tardis change its interier on screen,surely matt smith is not seen doing a bit of diy on screen is he?

My guess is that we'll see the outside regenerate in some way or another, and when he goes inside the new interior will be there ("What do you have for me this time?"). The effects costs of having the interior change would likely be large, and the results would likely be poor.

well what ever happens hope its worth watching ,i'm sure it will

It must have been fried quite often because there are many scenes (in the classic series anyway) where the crew get tossed around.

Fair point though, makes sense. Like a gyroscope.

I was really hoping for a scene like this:

The Doctor is “showing off” to Amy and showing her a selection of “themes”, to see which she likes. This would include some of the old ones (to which she reacts, for example: “too white!”). They both agree that the new one is their favourite (“goes with my hair” or something).

You don’t really need much budget for this kind of effect, especially if the camera is satatic. You just put various backgrounds in behind them and change the lighting slightly. These days, that’s pretty easy to do.

I hope we at least see the TARDIS interior actually changing with them standing in the room. I think it’s about time we saw this.


Don’t know where I heard this but:




I always just assumed that when the TARDIS is physically shook or damaged on the outside then that is transferred to the inside by the same mechanism that allows people to walk in and out of the TARDIS.

Consider this: if you opened the TARDIS door and it was very windy outside, you wouldn’t expect the wind to stop dead at the doorway, you’d expect the force to carry through to the inside. Likewise, if the door can be hammered by wind, or some other force, on the outside, this can also be heard or even felt on the inside to some degree.

While the inside and outside of the TARDIS may be tow completely different locations (or dimensions), that doesn’t mean they are completely unconnected. Because we know that they are connected, by a door at the very least.

It's very...orange.

I'd love a chase round the Tardis running through old console rooms. They're all there, just not used. The doctor being chased, of course, by Yeti, Cybermen, Sea Devils and Daleks.

Ah, cannot go back.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I swear the other TARDIS had a staircase in 'The Christmas Invasion' i remember DT in a huge part of the TARDIS that had clothes he then walked up some spiral stairs to the TARDIS control room. Although on second you did only see that once.

On fast forward? With the Benny Hill theme tune in the background?

LOL!

I can see Daleks whizzing past the camera, in and out of doors along a corridor.

Actually, wasn’t there a scene like that in Love and Monsters? You just need to speed it up and put the Benny Hill music on.

Eh? How come this has been bumped with no new post in almost 6 years?

Before anyone thinks I bumped it, it was already on the 1st page of the forum but showing no new posts

Well since this thread is from 2010, it clearly must have fallen through a crack in time to land here in (what is for it) the future.

Just the other day there were rumours of a possible new TARDIS interior now, so when I saw the thread I almost thought that it had been confirmed as true and that someone had somehow gotten pictures already.

Well it's a fourth dimensional thread, it knows what's going to happen so it nipped in early to beat the rush.

There won't be a new interior. The set is still up, despite them having finished filming ages ago. They were using it for tours over Christmas, why maintain it in a fully working condition in the studio if it was being trashed? If they were changing it, they'd have dismantled the old one at least by now.

My guess would be a subsequently-deleted post.

I don't like it.

Are we doing this backwards?

Alright then:

"You've redecorated."

"Ha! There! Stabilized!"

See if we can get all the way to "Wait in here please, Susan, I won't be long"
