I haven't seen a reference to this hereabouts. clivebanks.co.uk has a title listed for the 10th episode of S7 near the bottom of this page. Spoiler: Episode Title Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS I hope it turns out to be very literal, as I've been hoping for this "type" of episode since the re-start.
That title has been rumored for a while, and it makes sense of something Matt Smith started to talk about at the New York screening of "Asylum of the Daleks" that Caroline Skinner shut him down on.
It hasn't been a rumour for a while. The Radio Times confirmed it and episode author Stephen Thompson talked about its origin (basically Moffat wanted the end of 'The Invasion Of Time' done right) in the last issue of DWM.
Partly so they could be recycled for other episodes, like they were for the corridor outside the Demon's Run control room in A Good Man Goes to War.
Wow, that's an awesome title. I've been impatiently waiting for such a episode for a very long time. I can't wait!
I actually liked the sets they made for Logopolis, Castrovalva et.al. Not really detailed and pretty simplistic, but easily re-arranged to convincingly simulate the labyrinth of corridors beyond the console room. They had several different kinds of wall and liberally mixed them around, being pretty effective in the small studio space they had. What we got in "The Doctor's Wife" looked realistic, but IMO they were simplistic compared to the classic series corridors. Here's hoping that a proper, TARDIS-set episode will spruce up those corridors with more detail (more roundels, dangit!), and add a couple rooms like the drawing room we "saw" in the game, or a better wardrobe. Plus, effective greenscreen to show stuff like the library, boot cupboard, or zeppelin hangar. Mark
I don't mind a utilitarian approach, but the sets in TDW were downright stugly! (stark and ugly) – though it did set the mood for the ep. And I'm sure most of the budget went to everything else. Here's hoping for a phantasmagorical ride this time
I hope they find a room that leads them back into the Tardis from a different era. Like that red Dwarf episode Stasis Leak 15 or sumin. That would be cool.
^ Preferably one from the Classic era rather than the 9/10 one again, though I will admit seeing that one again in TDW was pretty cool.
I've said this before...want I reeeeaaaallly want to see is a greenscreen scene where the Doctor and Clara are crossing a bridge like the one they used for the Great Machine on Epsilon 5 in B5. Clara remarks to the Doctor about the vastness of the interior, and he turns around and says something like "If you think that's cool, watch this.": He pulls out a coin and drops a coin into the chasm. We see it disappear. "What's so special about that?" asks Clara. "Wait for it..." He holds out his hand, and the coin falls into his hand from above." He smiles, and turns away and crosses the bridge.
