Where would the doctor be without his trusty TARDIS? The magnificent Type 40 carrier can take our protagonist anywhere, into any time and space. It’s a concept with endless possibilities that allows any talented writer to create all the exciting adventures they can imagine. Aside from being reincarnated, that’s why the show is relatively over 50 years old.
Of course, every sci-fi vehicle needs to be given control, whether it’s the cockpit, the jetty, or in the case of TARDIS, the control room. It has gone through a lot of changes over the years, as has The Doctor itself. Here are ten of the best!
Third Doctor (outside)
The first control room on our list isn’t actually in the TARDIS! After the Doctor was banished to Earth and forced to reincarnate in his third form, the consoles were moved – either to save the show’s budget or to save the show’s budget after the producers of the show figure out how to make them look like it’s time to put Alien Worlds on hold, as the series recently turned color. The doctor took the control panel out of TARDIS and stored it in various cabinets and rooms of the store so he could try to repair it and continue to use it for his work.
Third Doctor (in)
By season 9, the Third Doctor was allowed to travel again, but with very little decoration. For the first show, the decoration of TARDIS remained almost the same, the circles, the circles close together, all over the walls.
Besides causing nightmares of trysophobia, these are mainly used for decorative purposes, but sometimes appear in stories as cases and storage parts. This particular avatar has large plastic satellite dish-like circles that look a bit artificial. The show will be back to normal soon.
thirteenth doctor
The current design of the TARDIS is a bit messy, looking like a strange radioactive honeycomb. The giant gear ornament doesn’t seem to serve any practical purpose, the transparent plastic hexagon rings here and there, and the massive stone lampposts make this TARDIS look like it will. suitable for a production stage or a university hippie theater studio. This TARDIS has also returned to normal, just like the original series.
Doctoral Thursday/Friday/Saturday
We chose this because it is almost the ultimate embodiment of the TARDIS interior from the initial run, a combination of everything that came before. A very clean and tidy TARDIS, the main control panel has screens and buttons that look more polished and almost symmetrical instead of the usual patchwork feel. Glow circles and lots of white, including small details like coat hangers, almost give this room a hospital feel, which we think is a bit for a doctor. Just make sure you’re not wearing dirty shoes.
Fourth Doctor (alternative)
In the story “Mask of Mandala”, it is first revealed that the TARDIS actually has multiple control rooms. This one has a bit of a Gothic feel, with a painted wood design and a more basic panel with a lid, like a beverage cabinet.
This is the first time that audiences see that TARDIS can really become more than we know, even if it hasn’t been around for a long time, and will return to a more classic design until the end. first run.
Dr. 9/10
give much Which doctor? For the fans who joined the show after the show returned in 2005, this was their first TARDIS. It has a more organic feel, emphasizing the fact that the TARDIS is really a living machine, built and developed. It keeps some key features, such as the central column and the time spinner, but replaces the circles with hexagonal wall tiles, and incorporates multiple levels, which will remain popular. in the next few releases. It also has a new copper color scheme for a more authentic feel.
Quote from the 5th Doctor when he met the 10th Doctor in the short “Time Crash” “What did you do to my TARDIS? Did you change the screen theme? What is this? Coral? Worse of all? leopard skin!”
eleventh doctor
After the 10th Doctor’s epic reincarnation more or less destroyed the interior of the “coral”, TARDIS regenerated itself from the inside out. The 11th Doctor’s TARDIS is more of a time machine. This is by far the largest sensory control room, equipped with a lot of small details, the return of the circular icons on the wall (although more varied in size and shape), and the great steampunk brushstrokes on the dashboard, like the big solid dials and levers. A true “geek chic” design.
Saturday/Eighth Doctor
We wanted to see more from Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor, but sadly all we got to see was a series of episodes and a 50th anniversary miniseries. However, the 8th Doctor’s TARDIS is a spectacular sight. It’s closer to the “new” than the “vintage” one, which is the first to feature columns (complete with rounded top, must-have) and has a livelier feel, with bookshelves, rugs and a recorder small sound. This TARDIS is really like a doctor’s house.
Doctor 11/12
After the Doctor is forced to say goodbye to the pond and decides to travel alone without putting his companions in danger, he becomes more serious and his new TARDIS design reflects reflect this. Compared to the previous room, this interior has a more “dull” feel, less clutter and more symmetry, with a cold metallic feel. Gallifreyan symbols adorn the upper face of the timing rotor, a combination of circles and hexagons striking against the harsh blue light.
After respawning in 12th form, the control room is still pretty much the same, but with a darker, warmer, and more comfortable feel. Plus, it adds bookshelves, blackboards, lab benches, and other paraphernalia you’d expect from an extremely smart-minded Doctor.
original
Number one has to be the first Doctor’s TARDIS, of course, as its basic design has been repeated by every other TARDIS since. Center console (originally green, although it is difficult to distinguish between black and white), chronograph on top of the instrument panel (crystal pump unit), circular feel overall of the room and of course ROUNDELS. It’s always been the blueprint for everything, and not including these features would be considered blasphemous by most fans.
