Very cool. Now that’s a TARDIS. No steam or smoke coming up through the floor. Yay!!!. I know I’m old school. I can’t help myself.
SPOILERS: New TARDIS interior leaks!

Bloody hell, they did it again! Only this time with the finished, properly lit set.
Hmm. It looks as if the time rotor might actually be a rotor this time. It looks like it might be built to spin rather than to rise and fall. Or to do both. Or maybe I just think that because it looks a little like a mixer's blades.
Wow! That's the best looking Tardis interior I've seen in a loooooooong time. I never would've guessed that RTD had it in him.
Godsdamn, that's a gorgeous set! I love the catwalk, glowing roundels, the near hover console, everything. I will agree that it is a bit too bright but otherwise, perfect.Bloody hell, they did it again! Only this time with the finished, properly lit set.

Could imagine that level of lighting playing hell with the filming (or are modern cameras able to work with wider variety of lighting and sources?)
Other than Capaldi's TARDIS I've never really liked the designs we've seen over the past 17 years.
Like this design though would have liked the more traditional console room roundels.
Give the door design we won't get the whirr back but can we please have the hum?
It's a nice design, but too sparse and lacking in practical elements that would make it look like a plausible space for people to occupy rather than a pretty set for a TV show. I've remarked on how the lower portion doesn't seem to allow people to walk in it except along the rim, so it's unclear what the point of it is. Also, it doesn't have any chairs or anything. That's what was great about the Smith/Capaldi console room -- it combined classic TARDIS aesthetics with practical elements like chairs and bookshelves and things that made it work as both a high-tech console room and a cozy living space. Which was the same balance the original Hartnell/Troughton console room achieved, but in a much more elaborate and cinematic way. This is more sort of an abstract ideal console room without any livable texture.
A bad/dumb joke, the prop is famous for it's twin tubes and the console pic only shows a single.I'm not following.
Well, yeah, I'd sorta gathered that, but I'm not aware of any legal reasons why they couldn't use just part of the prop. Does somebody OWN the damn thing?
Oh well. Trying to get back on topic here...
All this talk about console rooms got me thinking: Do TARDISes have a 'native' appearance? I'm guessing that each Doctor can customize it however they want (bear in mind I've never seen nuWho so if there's been some big reveal, I'm not aware of it), I was just curious as to whether or not they have an appearance coming straight out of the factory, as it were.
Well, if you haven't seen the new show, I won't go into specifics, but some recent stories revealing new things about the Doctor's past implied that the Hartnell-style console room (or its modern reinterpretation) was the baseline setting for TARDIS console rooms. Which stands to reason, since the First Doctor had barely any idea how to control the TARDIS when he stole it, never able to do much more than dematerialize it and wait until it randomly landed somewhere. He didn't begin to learn how to steer it even badly until the Pertwee era, which I attribute to his efforts to understand the workings of the TARDIS in hopes of escaping his exile. So it stands to reason that he wouldn't have known how to change the interior's "desktop theme," as it's been jokingly called in one or two modern stories.
That is a great looking console room, RTD is back baby, yeeeah! LolBloody hell, they did it again! Only this time with the finished, properly lit set.
Now is it just me or does that new console room look very very Dalek friendly for them to roll about in? Lol
or edges for them to be pushed off....
It's entirely possible that this is just the basic set and that they'll add various elements later. That could be a nice contrast. The high-tech sterile look mixed with the lived in bits. That's basically what they did going from Smith's 2nd console room to Capaldi.
Regardless, I love it!
I don't know. I'm of two minds about this new console room. It does look nice, but it also looks a bit too snazzy. I would have gone with a more subdued look, not that anyone woke me up in the middle of the night for my opinion.
You just never know. Ha
I can’t wait to see Sir Pat Stew use this new Cerebro
The leaked concept art showed a jukebox at one end. It’s probably off to the side of the photos
my thoughts on the new tardis set. The amount of lights makes me think of a movie set or music video set.
The console is very retro. I keep thinking of 70s sci-fi shows. It looks like it something from “Wonder Woman” or “Buck Rodgers” or battlestar galactica

Those aren't pictures of the actual set. Those are cropped portions from a fan's mockup render based on the set leak.Bloody hell, they did it again! Only this time with the finished, properly lit set.
The original full image these images are crops of is the second top image in this twitter post, which Redfern had already posted about eariler in this thread, by its creator Harry Amatt. Amatt even has a page, where the original image is the third one, about its creation on their personal website.
