"You know, you really do look better with that moustache" - The Third Doctor, Inferno, Episode 7
Paul Mcgann's Tardis is my favourite, over all others.
I love the homely design, but also because (I feel) it says a lot about the 7th Doctor. There's a certain feeling of loneliness in how large it is. I imagine that, whenever he left or lost Ace, he sort of lost the motivation to leave the Tardis and decided to make it a more personal environment.
I completely agree, Mcgann had the best tardis, it even had a skylight so you could see space and the planets from a transparent ceiling. I was hoping the series 11 tardis would be a bit bigger and beautiful like the 8th doctor's Tardis, instead, we got the absolute opposite and instead of a skylight, we got a custard cream biscuit dispenser.
I always said to myself if I had a Tardis that would be it, then I realised how unrealistic that would be because I am scared of the dark XD
Sylvester and Paul’s console room is my third favourite console room after Eccleston and Tennant’s and Capaldi’s Series 9 console room. Sylvester and Paul’s is my third favourite for the exact same reasons.
I'm afraid I have to disagree I think I would like it more if it didn't look to me as though someone has taken the tardis console and put it slap bang right in the middle of someone's living room , I don't mind the console its self but it's the whole look of all the homely stuff in one room I don't like , I like imagining that the tardis has other multiple rooms that these thi g could be in xx
Johnathans enthusiasm rose when the classic series tardis was shown
Going for a Freddie Mercury look there Matt? :P
Haha yeah!
Damn it! Beat me to it
@@Anonymous_timelord hope he keeps it lol
Porn mustache
You’re the reason he shaved lol
All in favour for Matt NOT shaving his moustache after Movember say I!
No
he's rocking it!
I
The Eccleston one is my favourite, but I may be looking at it through rose-tinted nostalgia spectacles because it was the one I grew up with, and also the toy was awesome
13th Console room looks like a hand. It really looks more like a trap that Master built for Doctor than her own TARDIS.
TheMorlun I would love that to happen and the doctors tardis is somewhere else
TheMorlun such a good idea for a story, so good I don't expect any modern series writers to think of it themselves
Idk why but this comment made me laugh so much. One too many jelly babies perhaps
Found your page by accident, but I have to say it's a joy to watch and listen to such articulate and erudite commentators! I have sampled some of the squillions of classic story DVD reviews by other various Fan UA-camrs and honestly, they've been the most painfully tedious experiences of my life - all low, monotone, humourless voices telling me about the DVD authoring specs on the packaging in excruciating detail - I really couldn't bear it! You guys are fun - clearly knowledgeable - and I am going to search out more reviews and rankings! Thank you!!
Smiths first tardis is probably my favorite, i like the fact it looks like the Tardis is more than one room the layers really add to it
Peter Capaldi's is the one for me.
It is the one that I would rather be-in
and I wished it stayed for longer.
Rockin that tash!
My favorire one will always be the first console room. 2nd probably is Capaldi's and 3rd Mcgann's.
3:58 In Twice upon a time (even though it was only for his last episode) the middle part of capaldi’s time rotor moved in and out.
I think it's always done that - you just don't see it much.
The last classic Tardis will always be my favourite. My least favourite is the current one or the 11th Doctors Tardis. The other console rooms move around on my list.
Yea, Paul Mcgann had the best tardis.
Life Upgrade No I meant the last 80s console. I should’ve of been clearer. For me the 8th Doctor is between the classics and new show.
There was also the second doctor's console from The Two Doctors
Jodie's interior is like someone trying to remake Eccleston/Tennant's interior based on a vague description.
The Eighth Doctor interior is gorgeous
I love how you can see the trees through the roundels in the Pertwee's Time Monster console room. Not sure if it was intentional, but I love it.
I agree. Hartnell's TARDIS is my favourite and it always will be.
My ranking:
1. Capaldi/Smith Tardis. Looks best in the Capaldi Era with the bookshelves and stuff.
2. Paul McGann Tardis
3. Eccleston/Tennat Tardis
4. Tom Baker secondary control room season 14 Tardis.
5. The Davison/Baker/McCoy Tardis
6. Matt Smith's first Tardis
7. The Original Hartnell/Throughton Tardis
8. Tom Bakers final Tardis
9. War Doctors Tardis
10. Tom Bakers first Tardis season 13
11. Jodie Whittakers Tardis
12. Jon Pertwee's main Tardis
13. The Time Monster Tardis
I love the one 7 got in the comics recently. It's everything I want the TARDIS to be. Massive, full of eclectic knick knacks, and stark white. It is so good I hope it gets adapted into live action.
Interesting discussion. I agree the original Hartnell console room is the iconic Tardis. The design was based on the anechoic (EMC) chamber used to test microphones at the BBC. For more examples Google image search "Sound Proof Room".
The Rani's tardis is quite high in the rankings for me
Love Tom Bakers season 14 tardis. Particularly love Eccleston’s series 1 tardis as it looks very alien compared to Tennant’s bright orange series 3 and onwards tardis. Excellent video! :)
For me to the mid to late 80s console room used from The Five Doctors onwards til Battlefield in 1989
Imagine Capaldi's console, Eccleston's time-rotor (but with Capaldi's colours), Mcgann's drop-down scanner, smth's first console room, Hartnell's fault locator and astral-map and Divison's wall roundels and hatstand, maybe some of those stained glass roundels from Bakers secondary console room...?
Awesome video - would totally agree on nearly all of the rankings of the console rooms you noted! Capaldi's definitely my fav of the new series but would even take Jonathan's idea of Colin/Sylv's tardis as my favourite over all. Would love to hear your opinions on the police boxes as you noted plus even the 'other' rooms inside the Tardis, e.g. bedrooms, zero room, wardrobes etc. Could watch videos like this all day! Amazing stuff
Plus sonic screwdrivers even maybe! So many opinions regarding them around
I would like a video on the Tardis exterior too. This also changes which I find interesting as it's supposed to be the same thing.
you could do a video about tom bakers costume in the same format as the 7th doctor one only as mat as the expert instead of Jonathan
Great video and solid choices. My own list:
1. 1st Doctor's (1963 / Adventure in Time and Space, with all white console variations not counted);
2. 7th/8th Doctors' (TV Movie);
3. 9th/10th Doctors' (it was my first, however I definitely prefer 10's "brighter" version i.e. Series 3-4);
4. 12th Doctor's (Series 8-10, with Series 7B not counted because I much prefer the orange lighting);
5. 5th/6th/7th Doctor (The Five Doctors et. al);
6. 3rd Doctor's (Planet of the Daleks et. al);
7. 4th Doctor's (Pyramids of Mars et. al, including secondary control room);
8. 11th Doctor's (The Eleventh Hour - sorry, it's a cluttered mess that tried to capitalise on what made the previous room great and failed. The only thing I like is the time rotor);
9. 13th Doctor's (no excuse - it's the only truly awful design!).
In short, great but I have to ask - why didn't you include the War Doctor's interior from the 50th? I really liked the mixture between
It's not just 13's ugly great stalagmite time-rotor going up and down but also the waggling tops of the pillars, where they're crooked over like fingers or the leg-ends of a dying spider. Not a good look, shown so far as I know only once, that fact suggesting despite the time and effort in producing the effect, maybe they'll ditch at least this pointless and unnoticed add on next season.
11's TARDIS interior left me cold until that scene (in the Doctors Wife?) in which he was harnessed beneath the console with his steampunk goggles like a mad scientist. A look I favour myself.
8's had the scale and grandeur, a romantic notion much like his own, of boundless dimensions and time travel with no finite edge, and I loved it.
Ultimately it's Tom Bakers console room for me. That white roundel'd room IS the TARDIS and even it's sound, that background hum, the doors electronic opening whirr...puts me right back inside it every time I hear it now in a Big Finish audio (as do 5's and 6's). The engine of my childhood imagination re-echoing, alive and brimming with wild impossibilities once more, across all the space and time of the intervening years (relatively speaking, of course ;)
What is this. A deluge of batmanmarch content? Must be Xmas.
Great video! I was surprised how much I agreed with your general rankings, especially your top and bottom picks!
What are your thoughts on the proposed series 27/Doctor Who night console room, with the hanging console? Personally that's another one of my favourites!
Got to say even though I don't like Matt Smith and Jodie Whitakers Tardis console I love the Christopher Eccelston Tardis. It may be that I hold a nostalgia towards it as it's the Tardis I grew up with. But I think it remains faithful to the original look but takes the Tardis in a new direction. It feels like a broken down spaceship and like the Doctor has had to repair it and replace parts over the years and it feels very aged. I also like the organic quality in this Tardis because it feels like a living being but still like a spaceship.
Something you didn't notice on Tom's secondary one - look at the base of the console. It's got *wheels*, so presumably the Doctor could fly it from any position in that room if he needed too.
My dream for Jodie would've been a very homey TARDIS, kind of like Capaldi's but wooden instead of metal, like a house. Her doctor is very inviting, and it could've been a place for her and her "friends" to hang out. They can't even sit down in the actual new one!
I must be in the minority but I like the washing up bowls Tardis.
I don’t hate, but I don’t LOVE it. i like it though.
I love them too. I like all the Tardis looks, and think every doctor should have his own different console look. This is Pertwee's 70s Tardis.
I love it, I got to visit the set, back in the 70s, when I was a little boy, with my sister, I have so many amazing memories of that trip!
And by the way, I am using my sons account, so that’s why I am on a very modern account, I suppose
You can tell that your brother, with his strong views have really shaped your views.
My right ear loved the reviews!
I like Smith's. It's alien but also really cozy too.
Ranking the title sequences would be interesting! I'd also be interested to hear the versions of the theme tune ranked :)
Wellll, the Pertwee green was because the painter said he didn't know that wasn't what was intended and he just painted it to look like the old one:)
yeah i found 13s tardis worst everytime i see it, i think the writers found that too as its barely featured in epsiodes
Probably cuz it was my 1st, but Eccleston's was my favorite
Yh was my first to, still put Smith's/Movie/Caplaldi above though
I like the season 27 tardis, it has the classic roundels and the time rotor tower in NuWho. Which makes sense due to it being between classic who and nuwho
My list is pretty close to Jonathan's except I would swap the Pertwee and Tom (1).
Lovely video guys!
Please do a police box one!!!:D
I think maybe the original consoles intension was to look white on screen intending that the console was white but as it came around to the pertwee era the producers didn't want to repaint the console piece probably because it would have taken too long. I agree with what you say though about the console it should have stayed in that bluish color.
Matt's more Italian than Frank Sinatra's kids now
I love the Capaldi room too! But while the design remained the same, the set did dramatically expand over the years. I think I prefer the bigger version.
Great video 😀👍
Just wondering what about the other console room that wasn't used, the unused desktop theme😀
Also would be cool to design a custom Tardis (INT/EXT) build for example you could have it as mixture of classic and modern put together also have it as a competition of doctor who Tardis designs and a video how to build it step by step. How cool would that be 😀👍
Late to this but enjoyed watching!
Capaldis console the best, most futuristic.
What do you make of Jon Pertwee's TARDIS console room from Death to the Daleks Matt?
Also my favourite TARDIS console room would have to be The Three Doctors console room.
Please rank the title sequences. I'd love to hear your opinions on those!
Perhaps you and Jonathan could do a series review of Series 11, alongside (or as part of) The Review of Death one? Be interesting to hear more of his views on this series.
Personally I prefer the TARDIS console that Mike Tucker designed for season 27 (in the end it was used for Doctor Who Night) something about the console hovering really appeals to me and that it would have been the first to incorporate the time rotar to the ceiling. The Titan Comics’ version is a nice improvements with the gold / ivory roundels and like with a few consoles have a vast amount of space.
Some others to mention:
The Junk Console from The Doctor’s Wife - a slight similarity between consoles 63-89 but in hindsight not the best.
The Victorian Parlour Mark I from Virgin New Adventures - an early version of the TV movie console where the time rotor was not connected to the ceiling and had a wall of roundels.
The Edifice from BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures - took the appearance of a gigantic four-dimensional Flower of Remembrance. It was composed entirely of bone.
I love the secondary console room but it was, in fact, unfinished since there was meant to be a clockwork rotor but they ran out of time
Later Davison my fave. Agree on bringing the interior doors back
There is a moving part inside the capaldi time rotar
Great video! I think First - Third Console Rooms were best and Twelves was the best of the New Series. What about a Daleks/Cybermen ranked?
My favorites:
1. Hartnell/Troughton
2. Capaldi (series 9/10 variant)
3. Davison 2/C. Baker/McCoy
4. Time war tardis
5. Eccleston/Tennant
6. TV movie tardis
7. All the other main classic consoles (so all the 3rd doctor ones, & 4th doctor 1 & 2.
8. Secondary control room
9. Smith 1 tardis
10. Whittaker Tardis
I really like capaldis tardis console room, the best from the modern series easily, I really like the 5th/6th/ and 7th doctors console from the classic series that was the introduced in the five doctors
My favourite is the hartnell one because of all the buttons and switch and you could run in and just flick all the switches and press all the buttons
That’s the same with Toms one from the pyrimas of Mars it had little levers and switches
Can I say, that even though I'm assuming you prefer the classics, I love how you don't exclude the new series as not being 'true who' and discuss it as one show. For good or ill, despite the ups and downs of both old and new who, its all Doctor Who to me!
There’s three things I don’t really like about Jodie’s console room:
1. The crystal pillars moving. I’m not a fan of it as I find it very distracting.
2. No hatstand. The hatstand hasn’t been in the TARDIS since 2011 and I want to see it return.
3. No phone, I wish there was a phone on the back of the doors.
Apart from that, I think it looks quite small compared to the other NuWho consoles and that it starts quite low down. Not a personal favourite of mine.
well I don't mind Jodie's one but I would go for Peter Capaldi's tardis
I love the natrual aspect and the colors but i do think it so be a littel mor biger
I agree that the original console is the best, followed closely by the pyramids console and sylv's
they should have the box doors lead to a glass door, and as a gag "it's bigger on th... *THUMP* ... owwww"
Worst console room, Sonic device, Companions, writing, monsters and indeed Doctor in the history of the show. Well done BBC. Well done.
Hey hey, don't forget terrible direction, and to those who disagree, adding letterbox doesn't make something "cinematic"
Well said.
Too many companions to care about, mostly stand around doing nothing. The only monster that sticks in the memory is the Pting, for the wrong reasons. Which monsters did you like?
I have to agree, I've given the modern series so many chances, and always had at least some positives and memorable things to say about it, but this series has nothing, its so empty of imagination and direction, what the fuck was this series about anyway?
@@JacksonCoYT How can they go from Capaldi's tardis and sonic to the spoon screwdriver and the biscuit factory tardis.
I must be the only one... But I love the Time Monster and that TARDIS, it just looks great to me plus it was one of the first Pertwee stories I watched so I have a special place for it.
Mats smiths original tardis reminds me of an hour glass
My favorite is actually the War Doctor interior. I know we only got it for 20 seconds, but it was a good 20 seconds. And then I'd say the classic 1st Doctor interior, specifically from An Adventure in Space and Time, Capaldi is # 3. And I do think the big double doors was a great piece because it's your heading from normal world into Narnia. lol
Bringing NAFF back. im on board!
Personally I prefer Matt's blue instead of Capaldi's yellowy orange.
Season 14 remains my favourite
I could never choose a favorite between Hartnell's and Peter/Colin/Sylv's. A good TARDIS interior, to me, should always convey the sense that it is both a space ship and a home, and both of those versions do that phenomenally.
And honestly, it's for that reason that I just can't get behind fan favorites like the TV Movie and Tom's Secondary console rooms. Those two, while beautiful in their own way, just don't look like the inside of a space ship to me.
Hey I love the moustache and btw when’s the worst episodes supposed to be landing?
The Ecclestone/Tennant console room is my favourite.
Least favourite is Smith's first console room. Looks too childish and weird for my liking.
Jodie would be good using the wooden panelled auxillary console room
Guys! Matt's been replaced by Freddie Mercury
Please do exteriors!
I had a very sore stomach when episode two air and seeing Jodie’s tardis is all I needed to throw up
I think this is the most British thing I have ever watched...
Am i the only one that loves the new tardis interior? :
I wouldn’t mind the new TARDIS console’s mechanical stuff instead of buttons if they were more like Ten and Eleven’s, where they actually took up space and felt like actual machinery. Thirteen’s console’s moving components feel too gimmicky and don’t actually FEEL tactile. Each segment of the console looks so bare, with gaping swaths of empty coral slab, then tiny little trinkets you can flick a bit? If I only had one word to describe this TARDIS console, it would be “flimsy”. You can make it immaculate or you can make it a patchwork, but I want to be impressed looking at this thing, not feel like the Doctor bought three or four knickknacks to put on her weirdly-shaped table.
1. Hartnell & Troughton’s TARDIS (Default)
- Perfection.
2. Capaldi’s TARDIS (Neon v2)
- Very Sci-Fi and looks gorgeous.
3. McGann’s TARDIS (Gothic)
- So grand and homey.
4. Davison, C.Baker & McCoy’s TARDIS
- Very Iconic and very 80's
5. T. Baker’s Season 15 TARDIS
- Lovely
6. M. Smith’s 2nd TARDIS (Neon v1)
- A vast improvement, but bare.
7. T. Baker’s Secondary TARDIS (Wooden)
- Overhated, I like it, but console is too small.
8. Pertwee’s Season 8 TARDIS
- It's okay
9. Whittaker’s TARDIS (Crystal)
- It feels TOO dark.
10. Davison’s TARDIS
- meh...
11. John Hurt’s TARDIS (Mix)
- It felt too clustered.
12. M. Smith’s 1st TARDIS (Brass & Glass)
- Felt too artsy.
13. Eccleston & Tennant’s TARDIS (Coral)
- It just feels too organic.
14. Pertwee’s Time Monster TARDIS (Fish Bowl)
- Errrrm....no...
The new TARDIS is the worst for me too. My faves are Capaldi s9 onwards and Tennant's when lit brightly. Smith's first and the cold, blue, stark second before the Capaldi rejig were bad for me. But not as bad at the spider hand gross crystal one we have now...and I love crystals.
You should do boxes next time
For me the worst is that weird wooden tardis interior from tom bakers era. With a tiny little console thing in the middle, just weird why they did that😂 I love the walls and the rest, but the console could be better.
1. Capaldi
2. Hartnell
3. Eccleston
4. Davison - McCoy
5. Hurt
6. Pertwee
7. T Baker
8. Smith
9. McGann
10. T Baker - Davison
11. Jodie
12. Secondary
I really like the new console room. I like it better than Smith's first one.
1. Capaldi
2. Tennant
3. Pertwee
4. McCoy
5. Hartnell
Can you tank the police boxes next? :)
**Rank
5:11 Green? I think you'll find that's definitely light blue.
The main difference between new who and classic who tardis are that in the classic series the tardis is treated like a machine and is often regarded by the 1st doctor as "the ship" and in New who they treat the tardis like a living thing which I prefer personally I grew up with new who so to me that the way it should be for me I'm not a massive fan of jodies interior but love the exterior, I don't like how they have the full police box showing at the doors as I think it slightly takes away the magic and the illusion of the tardis being bigger on the inside plus I think it looks a bit ugly.I also love my tardis consoles to have loads of buttons and switches and nozzles and levers instead of just having the levers and taps and bells, that's my personal opinion. I don't really like the 1996 movie tardis interior either for me it just feels like someone stuck the console in the middle of someone's living room which I really don't like because I don't like how the homely stuff is in one room , it doesn't feel like the main console room to me. My favourite of all time has to be the 11th's 2nd/12th doctors console I just love it so much I love the gallifreyen writing on the time rotta with the spirals that spin round when the tardis is in flight, just wish Smith had this tardis for longer possibly after series 5 as I feel he had the other one for too long in my opinion xx
A moustache cannot compute emergency emergency unstable unstable vision impaired vision impaired....
I’ve said I’ll give the new one a series to see if I change my opinion of it but with 2 eps left to go I can’t see it happening. I still hate the new design.
Completely agree. Console room seems to be one of the worst aspects of the show now! With Eccleston/Tennant's TARDIS the space really worked despite the clunky feel, this one feels really crampt and TOO DARK AGAIN. Prefer brighter console rooms.
If I had to rank them I’d go:
1. Capaldi’s TARDIS
2. Hartnell and Troughton’s TARDIS
3. McGann’s TARDIS
4. Tom Baker’s first TARDIS
5. Davison-McCoy’s TARDIS
6. Whittaker’s TARDIS
7. Smith’s Second TARDIS
8. Smith’s First TARDIS
9. Pertwee’s TARDIS
10. The Secondary Console Room
11. Tom Baker-Davison’s TARDIS
12.. Hurt’s TARDIS
13. Eccleston-Tennant’s TARDIS
14. Pertwee’s fishbowl TARDIS
