Fourteen’s excited lap across the ship on the finish of “The Star Beast” was an thought proposed by episode director Rachel Talalay, and one which Tennant actually ran with, having to discover a route round its many walkways: “I’m not appearing in any respect!

RTD’s Inspirations
Speaking on The Official Doctor Who Podcast, showrunner Russell T Davies defined that the brand new look isn’t simply paying homage to the plainer, white TARDIS interiors of Doctor Who within the Classic period, but in addition rather more latest Who beneath the showrunning of Steven Moffat and Chris Chibnall.
“I based mostly that over the previous few years on very a lot loving the white TARDISes that have been starting to crop up within the programme. Clara and Me flew off into the Vortex in a white TARDIS, then Jodie’s period noticed the Fugitive Doctor with that white TARDIS, and so they stole that TARDIS from Gallifrey and flew again to Earth with it, and I beloved it!
“I had an extended dialog with myself sitting there going do I like that as a result of I’m a fan of the 60s, 70s and 80s when the TARDIS was white, or do I like that as a result of it’s genuinely good? And I feel now we’ve constructed one, the reply is as a result of it’s genuinely good, however be at liberty to argue!”
The Official Doctor Who Podcast presenter Tyrell Charles doesn’t argue and praises the selection of white as a “universally accepted futuristic look” whereas wanting ahead to the colour-change potential of the brand new LED roundels:
“It jogs my memory of the tip of “Turn Left” when Bad Wolf was in every single place and the TARDIS goes on crimson alert and every part turns crimson when it was harmful, so it borrows parts from the trendy period nevertheless it takes what was a genuinely good design from basic and says: what if we checked out this on a pleasant wide-screen TV.”
