    12’s TARDIS is the one for me. It was when I first became a proper fan of the show and for me it is what I constantly think of when I think tardis. For me it’s perfect and yet nostalgic.

      Oh it’s absolutely my favorite too. I love every TARDIS interior in their own regards (that’s a lie), but Capaldi’s interior is (in my opinion) the pinnacle of TARDIS interiors.

      @@WickedlullabyI love 12s, but also 11s first Tardis interior too. The only reason I can’t place it as high as Capaldi’s is because certain sections of it look slightly cheap if you look closely, but if you were to fix the small issues I would place 11s equal to 12s

    Eight and Ninths' Tardis interiors seem like a before and after photo of someone who loves a place far from home, who's went to a war back at that home, and lost it to the point that he has to make home within the house he has.
    Think about it. The trees of bronze gold. The highlight of silver. The shift from blue and purple to green and orange red. As if he's become internally disgusted with himself, but his own TARDIS wants to help keep those positive memories he has alive. From something out of this world (in our timelords case) to basically the den of an injured wolf. The TARDIS is his protector and it saw the same power in Rose, which is why it chose her.

    13's TARDIS would be nice with a few changed... The central column should be smaller, and it should only have three columns instead of 6, and it should be a bit better lit. Though admittedly there is a problem with it having infinity mirrors in the blue roundels.
    Also, I know I am in the minority here, but I really like the bowl roundels... There is something distinctly 70's about them like the original design felt distinctly 60's and I kinda appreciate that.

    My favourite Tardis’s are BY FAR 11’s first whimsical Tardis and the 8th Doctor’s Victorian Tardis. Just love them both they’re perfect. As someone who has a vendetta against white walls many of the classic eras are lost on me. I presume in the 60s it was very alien feeling but to me it just looks like a mall apple store.
    BTW, Re-watching the wheel chair accessible scene in The Giggle knowing it was you who inspired it made me tear up in a way that someone who is not affected by that dissablitly normally wouldn’t.
    I enjoyed the video, but I must admit, I’ve never been a fan of the UA-camr classic of “just toss video game footage on the screen” It just distracts from what your taling about. I like seeing your face and a few photos that aid your discussion but maybe thats just me.

    11/12 for me, particularly the 12th Doctor's variation from Series 9 and 10. It is oozing with character. I really like the current one but it feels like it is lacking character for now, just how the 11/12th started in 7B, but I hope they add more stuff to it, currently it sits just outside top 3, at 4, with the runner-up for me being the TV Movie one, and Smith's first one at 3rd.
    I also loved that 12th was really atmospheric, especially with that steam coming from below in some scenes, most noticeably at the end of Hell Bent and during 12th regeneration scene. And I really liked the ceiling and how it moved when the TARDIS was in flight.

    Putting the Ecclestone-Tennant interior so low deserves a dislike. That will always be THE Tardis interior for me, it's so memorable, just the overall look, the seat spinning around, the treelike columns going up that he could throw his jacket over, the weird colour combinations that somehow just works. And obviously also the nostalgia fact of it being the best era too. It's just the best

  • @JoeEnglandShow
    @JoeEnglandShow Рік тому +1

    I'm with you. Whittaker's TARDIS was the nadir, all dark and cramped and cluttered. It epitomized the New Who trend of console rooms being messy hodgepodge storage closets.
    I know Smith's orange setup has its fans, but I couldn't tell what anything was most of the time. Everything and everyone just got lost in the jumble. I liked Capaldi's somewhat better, but like the old Doctors said, it was all still just a bit... busy. Couldn't quite be satisfied with all the props and mood lighting.
    And it's ironic, since my former favorite back in the day was McGann's! Which arguably began the trend. But that set had a unifying aesthetic, and plenty of room to move in, so it was still head and shoulders over the subsequent junk drawer motif.
    But the current room flipped all of that on its head. It's bright, open, and simple. For the first time in ages it doesn't seem like the actors have to fight the scenery to be seen! It's a stage again, allowing us to revel in it while putting the focus on the characters.
    What's more, it pays homage to the classic interiors. Like you said, this feels like what the modern console room always should have been, the new gold standard going forward, the evolution of the classic set fully realized. I hope they keep it for a long, long time.

    It isn’t my all-time favorite, but the thing I disagree with the most on this list is the ranking of Tom Baker’s other console room. I feel that was actually at least the co-best console room of all of Classic Who (perhaps tied with the Hartnell one). My three favorites are the first Smith, the Capaldi, and the McGann. The 14/15 could easily move into the top 3 but I need to see a lot more of how it is used and evolves to rank it properly.

My master bath is painted to look like the Capaldi/Smith green hex pattern.

      The one thing it really needs is an upper floor like the Capaldi TARDIS that he can walk around on and use for furniture, also so not all of the ramps lead to nowhere.

    12’s TARDIS is also glorious, but just a bit too small and congested for my liking compared to 11’s. I do love the lighting in 12’s esp. the orange. And I love 12’s console the most.

    I really wanted to like 13's interior, I like the orange colour, I like the hints of copper, there was a thing I remember hearing where the screens are projected onto sheets of water vapour, and I even like the crystal feel, I just think it was really odd in that it felt both too cramped and too barren. I'm not a fan of the current 14.5 version. The ramps are good but they look too whimsical, and it looks too clinical and "nu sci-fi". The cleaner their aesthetic the dirtier their secret, and that just doesn't fit Doctor Who in my mind. I can forgive a lot of the classic stuff because they had small budgets and to be honest they looked a lot less clinical back then than they do now with that aesthetic being the in-thing (see the Commodore PET or CBM, The Sinclair Z80, and plenty of other home micros that had white and angular styling).

Maybe one with lounge, living quarters and food machine like we first saw in 1964. Then one with some sort of unusual thing that's just for the one episode. The doors would kind of call to me to go look and see what is in them.

    I prefer small and simple. I don't like ANY of the NuWho era Console Rooms. There's no need for multiple levels, stairs, and all of the steelpunkish is horrible for me. The colors seem too dark for almost all of the Nu era. Just give me a plain white small room like the Classic era.

      I agree. The best classic who era ones were the style from mid70s to late 80s. The big console and the chunky pillars was just the right balance of too much and not enough.
