Wasn't there some controversy over the colour of Matt Smith's TARDIS and it turned out the prop is coloured so that it looks right filmed in HD but that makes it slightly off in standard RGB photos?

- Thread starter StCoop
- Start date
I don't recall that specifically but it does sound like something that may have happened, on a technical level and as an overreaction.
Yeah, I say controversy but it was a GallifreyBase thread so it could have been an empty coffee cup prop and they'd have kicked off like the stars had aligned and Great Cthulhu was risen from Ry'leh.
That "we're finally home!" quote is interesting - is Chibbers planning on an Ian/Barbara or Ben/Polly dynamic? With Walsh's character as an outsider Jamie-like figure?
The First and Second Doctors were the only ones with three companions as a rule rather than an exception, apart from Five. Nine had one ep with Rose, Jack and Mickey but Mickey wasn't officially a companion until he joined up with Ten at the end of School Reunion.

Ahhh...suddenly everything makes sense.
I'm wondering the same thing. And if that's the case, then that probably means The Doctor has less control of where the TARDIS goes in time and space, which I can only see as a good thing. I'm so tired of The Doctor being able to go anywhere and anywhen at a drop of a dime. Somewhere, somewhen, Tegan is yelling.
I'm also looking forward to that dynamic. Multi-companion crews have often been my favorites and I'm sorry we've largely haven't had that aside from Amy and Rory and we haven't had three companions since Nyssa, Tegan and Turlough (and I sure love the Big Finish reunion of those three).
Not at all really a fan of the fanny pack/bum bag she's been seen sporting in set photos, hope it's a jokey one-off thing like 11s Fez or 10s 3D glasses...and lets hope it's not as regular as 12s sonic sunglasses. If it's just an occasional thing though I guess it could be amusing, if they don't rip off the same gimmicks as 11s Fez.
I'm getting more used to most of the costume now, the coat and the T shirt seem okay, especially in natural daylight where they don't look quite as garish. Still hate the trousers though, all baggy with bare ankles...but I guess that's more my personal taste. Still, give her some slimmer trousers and I'd probably be alright with the costume by now. Guess it's giving the most 80s classic series vibe out of all the NuWho outfits, would be nice if the TARDIS interior did the same. The exterior's looking like it could become one of my favourites, at least of the modern series. Not quite as keen on the blue light on top yet but it could look really nice in action.

This makes sense. If there's not actually a Christmas special this year, as has been suspected for a while, then the BBC may be thinking of an October 27 debut, with episode 9 going out on Saturday, December 22 and episode ten on Christmas Day.
I like the colors, and the presentation, but I'm not sure about the font.
The font screams "urban fantasy" to me. I think it's fine. 
I wonder how it will work on the merchandise, though.

At least its different from the Moffat era logo. I never liked that one.
I like the new logo. In fact, it's probably the first one to grab me right off the bat. The RTD one took me a while to get used to, while the Moffat one was always rather meh to me.
A pretty basic and straight-forward logo, which is a good contrast to the modern logos. The Davies logo slowly grew on me, although I was never big on it, whereas I loved the Moffat logo right away, but I think it's a good idea to go simpler than those two flashier logos.

With both Stranger Things and Game of Thrones coming back in f---ing 2019, Doctor Who coming back in October is perfectly fine to me.
Still not crazy about the Mork from Ork stylings of the costume but is looking promising. I like that they seem to be using the opportunity to get a fresh start all around. Hopefully it’s good but they seem to be going all in.
