I notice the BBC has made no attempt to have the photo taken down and given how quickly they clamped down on the earlier leaks and the fact that they're pursuing legal action on multiple fronts to find out where the leaks are coming from make me even more certain that it's fake.
With Twitter and Microsoft helping out, my initial reaction would be that the same person may or may not have kept leaking the goodies.
Sorry not a fan of the new console room though I can't say I've really liked any of them since the series returned in 2005. Miss the whirr\humm, the white, the roundels and the hexagonal console.
Yeah, Hartnell's original was the best but the 80s with the sprawling corridors and rooms opened a lot more to the imagination. Now it's all one big boring circle.
Wow. The new console room looks awful. Hopefully we won't see it that much.
Is it really that hard to have roundel walls, inner doors, and a hexagonal console with proper controls panels? Does it always have to be some badly designed pretentious mess?
So much pretentiousness and self-gratuitousness between 2005 and now... and so much money going into the Crystal Cathedral there... I'll admit, if it does glow colors and under filmed lighting instead of the static lighting for the leaked photo, it might look far better. I'd bet real money on that. Still, lighting aside, the 6 finger-shaped pillars and huge central column leave less to the imagination than the Vervoids ever had or could. And that's saying something.
Seeing all that ice and snow in the console room reminds me of the earlier rumors that the TARDIS is feeling decidedly 'frosty' about the Doctor's new... er... look. Really not liking that the console appears to be made of metal pipes and assorted plumbing. And those bowl-like hexagonal plates... is it possible Thirteen stumbled across Missy's TARDIS by mistake?
Looks like someone scuppered a public bathroom to get the fittings for the console's under-region. Steampunk's fad ended ages ago, I'd thought...
I'm beginning to wonder how much worse and b
Why is nobody asking the most important question?
Do those pillars bend and stretch at the joints? Will we see the TARDIS flexing her muscles?
The joints could be facades or they might be real. But let's think about it imaginatively: Central big thick column goes up and down while six finger-shaped appendages flex at the same time? That's
a little majorly dirty because the set is a single entendre. Or the TARDIS has shiny new features with only the central column moving when it's traversing time, six spider finger appendages flexing when moving in space... either way, it's a combination of dirty and dorky.
Unless only the fingers move and the column doesn't, Not much of a difference. Was it
intentional to make the set look like a cross between the Fortress of Solitude and a Fantasy Gifts store?!
I assume the crystal pillars will glow and then pulsate when the TARDIS in in flight. The central phallic console pillar might look a bit rude if it wobbles up and down though.
Is the white powdery stuff snow, saltpeter, or cocaine left over from the designers' brainstorming session?
Hmmm, going to say "saltpeter". Not because of the obvious double entendre, but because cocaine isn't legal. Most designers usually do better on LSD. Look at most shows and music from the 1960s, it's obvious they were on hundreds of micrograms of that stuff.
Or all of the above. Maybe in addition to the library and swimming pool, the TARDIS now has a mountain slope room where you can ski while high on cocaine and explosion are happening behind you. The altered gravity and the swimming pool at the bottom of the ride make this totally safe.
A new pool was put in? It was better off jettisoned or not used to begin with...
If that's really a photo it seems to have run through a ton of Photoshop filters, so I'm highly doubtful of how much it represents what will be on screen. Especially since in the unaltered photo from the other week that showed the doorway it was brown not purple.
Great. Expensive posh sets and productions treated to cheezy AfterEffects and Photoshop effects.
Wasn't the other photo just the edge of the interior combined with the (elongated) police box facade? Probably transitions in color or there was some backlighting involved... I do recall there is a photoshop-enhanced version of the latest photo, with red glowing crystals and purple backlighting on the walls. Probably done by a fan. But even the designers angry over the leak still know that whatever lighting and effects done in post-production are those everyone is still clueless about. If those are good people who've seen it all so far will still be wowed - and would
still make the reactionary jokes about the cocaine, Superman's home, dirty, and other jokes no matter how cool the end result truly is. So not as much has been spoiled, unless there's nothing spectacular about the crystals being lit from inside or studio lighting or anything. I doubt it'll look that flat, regardless.
I hope.
Interesting how there are fan videos editing said talk show and given the title of "Doctor Who - Chris Chibnall Reviews '42'"
I, too, hope to be proven wrong. He does have a team working with him, so there is hope.
