Okay, what is this? POSSIBLE SPOILERS!

[Mitty]

Okay, I was just watching the Confidential for Episode 6 (which you should all watch by the way, the interaction between Matt, Karen and Arthur is just hilarious and wonderful and goes on for quite a bit).

Anyway the have "A day in the life of the Art Department". Which in itself is fairly interesting.

But what caught my eye was this:

That would appear to be a much older Police Box. It's definitely not a previous one eg from DT or even Ecclestone, and I thought perhaps it might be the one that briefly showed up in SJA when Sarah went back in time to meet her own parents but it's to grotty for that.

It actually looks more like one from the Davison/Baker era.

I'm not sure why they would have that lying around if they weren't going to use it.

Maybe I'm wrong but this could be something freaky from a future episode we're not aware of yet???

I noticed it too. The guy actually looked like he did a double-take when he glanced at it.

 

[Psion]

It looked to me like he glanced down the "alley" of junk farther to the left of the interesting artifact rather than at it, but I definitely caught it, too. Perhaps it was a prop used for something other than an episode production ... promotions from a few years back, perhaps?

 

[intrinsical]

Maybe it was the acid-drenched TARDIS?

Nevermind, I just had a look at the acid drenched TARDIS that fell thru the roof, it looks brand new

It's certainly the '80s TARDIS. Interesting...

I did see an IMDB page listing last week posted on a Doctor Who facebook fan page...and there were listings for Peter Davidson as the Doctor along with David Tennant as the Doctor. At the moment I don't recall what episode it was for...something in the second half...so maybe that Tardis has something to do with that?

 

[MacLeod]

It maybe nothing more than the Beeb kept the shell of the TARDIS from that era, for promotional material an in case they brought the show back at some point.

Slams head off desk repeatedly.

It was called "Time Crash" and it was a short (no more than 10mins) done for Chilidren in Need.

^ ^Yeah...I know lol...I just brought it up because of that pic. I dismissed it when I first saw it.

@MacLeod...I'm well aware of what "Time Crash" is. As I said in my post this was a listing for something in the second half of THIS series.

Okay I found the page. It's for the series finale...episode thirteen....

It's called "IMDB is full of shit and you should never trust it." In the lead-up to Star Trek: Nemesis, it listed Denise Crosby as Sela, for example. They're functionally like a wiki and have no way of verifying this sort of stuff.

 

[Lonemagpie]

It's the 80s TARDIS built for The Leisure Hive - they always kept it for exhibitions and stuff.

 

[MacLeod]

WIll have to wait and see if we get a full multi-Doctor story, but I would have thought they would have left something like that until 2013.

It used to be every once in a while that someone would put a fake DW credit up there, but it seems to happen every week now.

Well, as has been previously stated, IMDB is often full of shit. Then again, Moff has made fairly liberal use of "flashback" images from previous series, and I assume that if he uses Davidson's or Tennant's likeness, be it new footage or reused crap from the archives, that he must legally acknowledge them in some way for appearing in the episode, such as paying them a small royalty/residual/whatever fee. IMDB might just be noting such uncredited appearances of this kind, as they did in their cast-list for "The Eleventh Hour":

​

Just because the entry you saw doesn't specify that it's stock footage is of very little consequence, because, as has been said before, IMDB is more or less a wiki, that just about anyone can contribute to, and therefore isn't particularly accurate, or consistent in the criteria of its postings.

 

[captcalhoun]

imdb's WORSE than wikipedia because wiki at least insists on some source for stuff even if it is a rumour.

 

[Admiral_Young]

As I stated, I'm well aware that IMDB is full of shit, I just recalled that particular entry because of the OP's post of that Tardis pic. Of course it doesn't mean two are connected but I did find it of interest after I saw that pic.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

Well, I know that the information is not to be trusted, but at least some part of it has to be correct? I mean, it's unlikely that someone would fill all the information for all episodes just for fun. Is there any reliable source for who plays in any of the future episodes, and where do the editors for IMDB get the information? In particular, as far as I can tell, the last few were correct.

There's a significant chance that what's in IMDB is correct in this case. If it is, there should be some more reliable source with that same info. If there isn't, the info is to be assumed wrong.

According to RTD's commentary for "Utopia," the production can use very brief clips of actors from prior episodes -- I want to say below 10 seconds' worth of time -- without incurring a need to give an onscreen credit or pay any fees to the actor in question. Thus, we get a flashback to the Ninth Doctor telling Rose to run in "Doomsday," and to Rose after she merged with the Heart of the TARDIS in "Utopia."

 

[chardman]

Still, just because the BBC doesn't need to credit performers for short clips doesn't mean that IMDB is incorrect for doing just that.
