Watch the video quickly before it's taken down.

It's very similar to 9/10's only less organic looking. And matches a leaked description from a while back.

Kind of looks like the Time Rotor is going to have liquid in it.

Not a bad budget for something the BBC supposedly believes is out of steam and needing "easter eggs" of every previous console room designed rolled into one in order to fart membuhburriez out of every orifice for the 60th anniversary next year. 75th, possibly, but an odd number like the 60th? It'll get ratings, have no worries.

Of more interest, but not for the reason you may be thinking, was under the "Similar to this post"'s thumbnails list. At the very top, was this:

Dang.

Not sure if the "AI" did that match-up of metatags in its algorithm but even then a human still typed in something sufficiently synonymous to trigger the "similar to" pane showing portapotties.... and while usually I like to say "bigger is better", the set all feels a little hollow. But the set is under construction. Like or dislike, not sure they should have leaked it, it's hard to blame a computer for uploading this clip of its own accord...

No worries to that, a page reload shows a series of random images, about a vault kit, two people wearing green and red crash suits for some reason, Emperor Palpitations for Star Warts, (series) 6 of the doctor Who is the worst (sure, it's arguably crap but there's worse), and other such random faff.

Kind of looks like the Time Rotor is going to have liquid in it.

Or it's a giant Push-Up orange frozen slushy turned upside down. Or a big twinkie with stick inserted up it then inverted to be shoved inside the plastic cylinder.

Speaking of portapotty jokes... why is the inner door looking like a designer one, if not a generic 1950s jukebox with poor perspective atypical of the rest of the drawing? (Unless it really it is supposed to represent a jukebox and the door is beyond the edge of the paper as hinted at on the gantry trailing to the left...)

All snarkiness and jokiness aside:
The console design controls' draft admittedly looks awesome... and has the look of the closest thing approaching a spaceship since Capaldi's era; never cared for the bicycle pump and plumbing pipes used in other eras of the modern show...

Ooooooo sexy!

Looks like a cross between the coral version's styling with the neon version's layout, which are my two favorites, so that's good. Though I was more enthusiastic before I saw the concept art, when I though it was just unpainted and it wasn't actually going to be throwback-white. Maybe they'll throw in some more color and shading with the lighting, like the final revision of the neon console from season 9 and 10, or the Fugitive Doctor's nightclub-ized version of the classic console room (or, for that matter, the way the coral console was lit in seasons 1 and 2, as well as its appearances in the Moffat era).

Oh!, they redecorated, i don't like it! Ha




No but the round things are back, that looks great. :-)

 

[Mr Awe]

That looks great! Love it!

My Twitter posting just got DMCA'd so I'd imagine the BBC's (and Disney's?) lawyers are going to have a busy day ahead of them.

"It is returning through the dark!"

The round things make a fierce return!


Also the design makes me think Obi-Wan Kenobi should sneak around the corner to turn off the tractor beam.

I like the TARDIS console room to have a more technical look, the coral room and especially 11's first room are actually my least favorite console rooms, but those images look ok. An upgrade over the crystal room, hopefully its also better lit and not just mostly darkness like the last room.

I know there is no way I can empirically prove this as I just posted the selections to a publicly accessible repository, but a few weeks ago I puttered with a few digital tools culminating with final renders in Poser, depicting a "personal interpretation" of a TARDIS interior, one that shares a few elements with the leaked images.

The console and satellite stations are based upon the Smith/Capaldi console elements as modeled for Blender by an artist named "Rocs". The platform, walkways, railings and "frames" above and below the platform I scavenged from a DAZ product, a futuristic planetarium. the interior doorway and columns were from a freebie by "CastIronFlamingo". (I always try to list the creators of mt resources.)

The idea is that the console room seems suspended in a kind of void-like limbo when at rest. When in flight, the Doctor and companions can see the time vortex as they tear through it. Actually, I tried depicting inner walls festooned with roundels plunging into the depths below and soaring to the heights above, but it they just didn't look decent, so I opted for the "void" theme.

Anyway, I inwardly "squeed" when I saw the layout , how a few elements paralleled. I love that they'd opted for multiple levels with more walkways leading to more doors. Certainly makes theirs far, far superior to my meager efforts. I just wish the roundels were staggered, "honeycombed" like they were in the classic series, but that is a minor, and I mean a minor nitpick!

The new design reminds me of concept art for 11s potential Tardis room. a large spacious layout. I like it.

 

[Rich Watson]

The video is gone from the original post now. And if they find out who shot it they'll be gone too from their job.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

^^With the way the BBC are run these days i suspect it might have been some contract worker who was there to build the scaffolding and the likes, so i doubt they will be too worried, although the poor security people for the building might get it in the ear.

 

[Redfern]

Also the design makes me think Obi-Wan Kenobi should sneak around the corner to turn off the tractor beam.

For that the roundels need to be stretched vertically into thin bars and everything else painted a dark battleship grey.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

I'm pretty sure this concept (or one very close to it) has been out there for years. Similarly white and with the large, open floor plan. It might be like how Capaldi got that fan-made opening title sequence.

 

[jaime]

It’s very much like Mike Tuckers season 27 concept, from the nineties. As seen in DWM’s comic strip. But with depth and a ramp.
Like the IPod in the corner.
(I imagine someone will compare it to the Apple Store like with the JJTrek bridge, but I would argue the Tardis got that look first.)
