Mirror says New Console Room for Smith

I'm all for it. The console should always be changing in my mind. Hopefully we'll get a redesigned opening sequence, too.
Absolutely nothing to do with it. (Never trust any information in a Tabloid that comes from our old friend Mr Unnamed Source.)
As soon as the decision to go HD was made a new TARDIS set was inevitable. (It was one of the key reasons given for not doing so before now.) And in fact, unless they plan not to have any scenes inside the Ship before the Regeneration happens we'll see it first in one of the Specials.
It's a pretty safe bet to say that it won't since Moffat has made fun of that practice in the past.
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.
the end is the Doctor looking round having finally finished, then drops his sonic hammer on his foot and regenerates.
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.
Will it be almost surgical white and transparent, like the new bridge of the Enterprise?
I wonder how hi-tech, maybe ironman type window screens?
Tardis console room 7.0 beta
New desktop theme!
Nothing dates quicker than hi-tech, so I'd be amazed if they went in that direction.
It's funny I can still remember being wowed by the new console that was unveiled in 'The Five Doctors' but looking at it today it's just a collection of buttons that don't actually move and some twinkly lights. On the other hand I still like the original console that lasted all the way up to the early Pertwee years.
Whatever it does look like I've only really got two wishes; firstly for a proper scanner screen as opposed to a LCD display on the console and secondly for a bloomin' door to the rest of the Ship, even if we never actually go through it. (And Moffat does seem to be in the 'TARDIS as mechanism for getting the Doctor into and out of each story' camp.)

I wouldn't mind if they changed the console room. It's happened before. I would like to see the Tardis grow to have extra rooms, like it used to. I always liked the idea of it being this massive, maze-like structure.
The weird thing is, what seems hi-tech to us could be amusingly outdated for the Doctor. He does like his eccentric knick-knacks, and this is the guy who once had a steampunk console.
Which sort of begs the question: what's a "dated" look for a time traveler?
I never thought the new Tardis wasn't like that, they just didn't show it and the door was on one of the "invisible" walls we can't see on TV. It would be nice to see an actual door again though.
I remember watching Logopolis and the doctor inputting the dimensions of the tardis on some really ancient computer
Someone more computer savvy might know what computer that was at the time of filming
BBC Micro, probably.
