That would depend if the set is still standing. At the time, it hadn't been struck - was simply standing unused (think it showed up in a behind the scenes or something).

Matt Smith could probably pull off playing David Whitaker.
If a classic console room is recontructed for this show, than it only makes sense to keep it up so that Doctor Who can use it in their 50th anniversary special. That's just begging to happpen.
According to Neil Gaiman, he put a request in to Moffat to keep the RTD console room standing so he could use it in his episode. It was indeed seen in behind the scenes footage on the season 5 DVD set. Matt Smith or Karen Gillain filmed the two of them hanging out there on their lunch break in their video diaries.
The set has since been torn down. In fact, Mark Sheppard said it was being torn down when he arrived in Cardiff to film the studio scenes of The Impossible AStronaut/Day of the Moon.

Im talking about the first console room, as possibly will be seen in the drama, I mentioned The Doctors Wife, as it showed the TARDIS keeps previous console rooms.
I think Nightowl1701 just meant seeing Matt Smith walking the set behind-the-scenes was exciting in itself (and I agree). But I also do hope they can include in the show itself as part of the anniversary celebration.given that we saw the RTDs console room in "The Doctors Wife" it would be very easy to include it in the show.That alone would be worth it. At the very least, we'd get some EPIC publicity shots of Matt Smith puttering around William Hartnell's console room for the 50th Anniversary.
I like the idea of the Doctor finding a message from his younger self, buried deep in the TARDIS memory banks, possibly done by whoever plays Willam Hartnell in the drama.
Eve from SJA would also be a nice character to have around in one episode as well.
Of course, this is all assuming we see the classic console in this production.
I have a feeling we'll get to see it in the final moments of the drama.
The bulk of the drama will probably be the Doctor Who creators pitching the idea
The final 30 seconds will be the actor playing Hartnell all decked on in his costume flipping a switch on the low budget console.
Michael Sheen as Troughton, anyone? Just a random thought.
My casting suggestions for William Hartnell:
William Russell.
That creepy old guy from the Torchwood episodes "Captain Jack Harkness" & "End of Days."
Ah, Hollywoodland. A movie that completely undermines its own premise at the end. After spending a couple hours positing conspiracy theories about who murdered George Reeves, it then shrugs and admits that he probably did just kill himself because he was depressed about not getting better parts.
