Editing TARDIS (section)

===Interior design===
The TARDIS console room was designed for the first episode by [[set design]]er [[Peter Brachacki]] and was unusually large for a BBC production of this time. It was noted for its innovative, gleaming white "futuristic" appearance.<ref>{{cite book |last=Tribe |first=Steve |title=The Tardis Handbook |date=2010 |publisher=BBC Books |isbn=978-1-84607-986-3 |page=44 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fYWR9xgQRucC&pg=PA44 |access-date=5 July 2022}}</ref><ref name="themindrobber-tardis">{{cite web |title=Doctor Who A History of the TARDIS Police Box Prop and its Modifications |url=http://www.themindrobber.co.uk/tardis-police-box.html |website=www.themindrobber.co.uk |access-date=5 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220302120814/http://www.themindrobber.co.uk/tardis-police-box.html |archive-date=2 March 2022|first=Anthony|last=Sibley}}</ref>

Like the police box prop, the set design of the TARDIS interior has evolved over the years. From the inception of the show in 1963 up until the end of the "[[List of Doctor Who episodes (1963–1989)|classic series]]" in 1989, the design of the TARDIS console room remained largely unchanged from Brachacki's original set, a brightly lit white chamber, lined with a pattern of roundels on the walls and with a central hexagonal console which contained a cylindrical "time rotor" that moved when the TARDIS was in transit. Numerous alterations were made to the central console and to the layout, but the overall concept remained constant. In [[Doctor Who (season 14)|Season 14]] (1976–77), a dark wood-panelled "Control Room Number 2" was briefly used for a few episodes, but the white console room set was reinstated in [[Doctor Who (season 15)|Season 15]], due to damage to the set. After the cancellation of the television show, a radically redesigned TARDIS set was used in the [[Doctor Who (film)|1996 TV movie]], heralding a move to a more [[steampunk]]-inspired set design, which later influenced the set design in the [[List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present)|revived series from 2005 onwards]].{{sfn|Burk|Smith|2012|pp=543–5}}
