I'm a Gothic Library man, myself...

toy store?!

Classic white roundals

By gothic library do you mean McGann's? It's good, but the more I see it the more it annoys for some reason. Too Jules Vernre/HG Wells, not alien enough for me, lovely set though.

I'd have voted coral second, it, like the classic, looks alien at least. Smith's interior is good (love the different levels) but feels too cluttered, too busy for me.

I really like the RTD interior, but I went with Eight's "gothic library". It actually looks like a comfortable living space, being that the TARDIS is the Doctor's home, after all. Based on the sets we saw in the movie, it kinda makes you wonder what the rest of the place looks like.

I know the toy store is meant to be the Smith one, but surely that would be more the RTD one. Its controls looked to have been made by Fisher Price. The Smith one's more like Swiss cheese, with those holes everywhere.

Anyway, the McGann one is far and away the best.

Nah, RTD's Coral has pieces from a junkyard assembled as the console. That was fitting and made sense in the scheme of the TARDIS being patch-worked for its age and type(40). Smith's uses a typewriter, condiment dispenser, and pinball machine. Toy store.

Coral.

After watchin' the first couple of new Who series, watchin' classic Who with that plain white control room...well, that was just dull.

I do like the new control room for Smith's Doctor, but I kind of miss the coral.

Alright then, they're both shit. Really ugly colours too, especially the RTD one. Like a backlit vomit chunk.

I really liked the wood paneled one used in season 14, it's a shame the panels warped makig it impossible to use them after that sesaon.

Me too, but the Gothic Library was my fav.

I am really surprised that we've never seen any other rooms in the TARDIS for either the Coral or..."Toy Store" (can't we just cal it Magpie?) versions. I really can't imagine how in this day and age with blue screen and "made on your mac" special effects we can't easily just, say, film the Doctor in a library or swimming pool, have him open a doorway, step through, and be in the TARDIS main room.

I voted for the classic look but I have to agree with od0-ital in that it does get rather dull after a while.

At the end of "The Christmas Invasion" you briefly see a TARDIS wardrobe room.

I missed the Mahogany version, so McCann's Gothic was the first change I'd seen from the classic roundels and it blew my mind. If not for that bold choice, we'd never have had the Coral or the Toy Store. I like choices that make or break the mold!

I liked the one that was used for Seasons 1-4. Not entirely a fan of the current one because everything looks so cluttered. It took me even 2 to 3 episodes just to know where everything was.

 

[Saga]

wasn't a fan of the Mahogany aux control room. what was the big obsession in the 70s and early 80s with wood?

 

[starsuperion]

that 60's white with roundel abstract and very clean design looks more befitting the geometry, physics and quantum theory that is transdimensional engineering for some reason... it just makes much more sense..

 

[Davros]

Wood panel for me.

Actually, wood, at any time, isn't bad.

What was frightening about the 70s (not so much the 80s, there were scarier things) was the cheesey fake wood panelling that was found in so many basement rec rooms.
