Mirror says New Console Room for Smith

The show is going to HD? Does that mean the blu-ray seasons will be $300 for 14 episodes? :rolleyes:

Change is OK if they do it well.
 
Isn't the next special in HD? If so surely the new set will come in the next special?
 
Yeah, I wouldn't expect to see Smith's face in the credits. Which is a pity because I would love to see that return in the opening sequence.
Yeah, and he should wink too! ;)

Not if we don't see the TARDIS interior during the story. Which seems possible from what little we know of the story.
 
I don't mind a new interior, but I hope they keep the "organic, choral" basis for the new design. I really like the idea that the TARDIS is an organic technology that's grown.
 
I just keep hoping that, with Smith's Doctor persona, and now with a new Tardis interior look, they don't go that doomed route of, "Let's shake things up! Let's make this look not like Doctor Who! Let's try and attract the audience that doesn't watch the show!"
New interior = cool.
"Let's be so different that it is a different show" = not cool.
 
I wonder if this means that Tennants final episode will somehow see the Interior of the Tardis destroyed while he lays there regenerating.....
 
actually seeing Tennant give the TARDIS console room a make over, whilst he is at a loose sans companion, could be amusing, each specail the he will have done a bit more of the console room.

While he's experimenting, I'd love it if he brought back the original version for a brief cameo. Just because I'd love to see what Tennant's Doctor would look like walking around in it. :D

In any case, glad to hear they're creating a new one for Smith. I certainly like the current console room, but it just feels like it's time for something new.

I don't think there's really a need to attract a bigger audience, is there? The version they have already appears to be a pretty big hit.

that could work as well

I remember someone making a thread about that.

"What would Tennant's doctor look like if he was filmed in the old series way?"

I think the conclusion was that filming sequences like the old series are not possible anymore

Especially in black and white

Yeah, chances are he would just look odd and out of place more than anything. Kinda like Picard walking around that TOS bridge in Relics.

Plus the old Console Room already looked pretty bare and simplistic back THEN. Seeing it now, it would be almost impossible to take seriously as a Console Room Tennant's Doctor would use.
 
Hmm. I'd be surprised if it was a complete redesign. I'm expecting more of a cosmetic upgrade.

Although surprises are nice (sometimes).

does he even own a mirror?
 
^ Maybe I'm just seeing things, but I can see a faint trace of the 5th Doctor in his face in that particular photo.
 
^ he does have the hat for it

nice to see him in a scarf, ive always thought he should have a small scarf
 
I think we'll probably wind up with him wearing clothes similar to the ones he wears in real life. He has that "Bohemian" vibe, and that was the 4th Doctor's signature too.

As to the console room...I want real roundels this time. I'd like a console a bit more in proportion to the older versions. I'm not a fan of the giant mushroom. Personally, I'd maroon the new Doctor on Earth for at least half of his first season and make a running story out of him either waiting for the TARDIS interior to heal itself or of him taking time to make much needed repairs. Put him with UNIT for that period, then have the big reveal when he departs. Alternatively, parallel his regeneration and the new TARDIS interior...Briefly, show him changing his clothes several times until he arrives at his final outfit, and correspondingly show him changing the desktop theme in CG of course.
 
I dont like the UNIT idea, but changing desktop themes works for me.

that said

Doctor: TARDIS are you ready yet, im about to get lynched by some very angry aliens, and I need to get off this planet NOW!!
TARDIS: no Doctor im not dressed yet, come back later
Doctor: but ive seen every part of you
TARDIS: I dont care, when a TARDIS gets to a certain age
Doctor: come now TARDIS your not that old
TARDIS: oh Doctor your such a charmer
Doctor: can I come in then?
TARIDS: NO!

(sorry dont know what came over me)
