Welcome to my ship. This is the TARDIS.
Well, where we are is on the set of the TARDIS.
But not our normal TARDIS.
We've gone back to, all the way back to 1963 really,
from the original run of the show.
It is iconic. It is the prototype and
everything there is an embellishment from that,
but that to me is the real thing.
Quite a complex set in some ways, because in fact,
by the time they did The Tenth Planet,
the TARDIS set had been reduced to
two walls and just the console,
so there's hardly anything of the set left.
So we've sort of recreated the original and expanded slightly.
Rather than having the photographic
blow-ups of the roundels of the TARDIS
they've actually got the slightly hexagonal
ones which are from Day of the Doctor.
So it's not quite the same,
but it's quite a nice idea to slightly twist it.
Everything else however, the space-time visualiser was built,
the Westminster Abbey clock has been reconstructed.
The chair I think is the same one we
used in An Adventure in Space and Time,
and most importantly, the brass pillars,
of which there was only originally one,
those are the ones from the original TARDIS
which is amazing!
It's very hard for me to assess this from the
point of view of someone like Pearl Mackie
who's sitting over there
because she's never seen that TARDIS before
it doesn't mean anything to her.
but it means the world to me because that's the original one.
She's there, she's there, she's right there, you see?
I'm right here.
She doesn't have a clue where that is! She doesn't.
Good though, innit?
It's good. You like it?
I like it, yeah.
OK, good!
Should have kept it like that, to be honest.
