This weekend at Paris Comic Con, attendees can enjoy a display set of the actual TARDIS console used in the filming of the Mark Gatiss genesis of Doctor Who drama, An Adventure in Space & Time. Included here are some photos of the console which, it has to be said, is utterly beautiful (and causing quite a stir in the French capital). Click on the images for bigger versions.
It almost looks too good!
Wow, Awesome.
I so wish they'd use it to remake a few episodes (not word-for-word) but modern style with pacing and SFX.
ie:
Unearthly Child (more or less the same)
Edge of Destruction with more pacing and SFX, more TARDIS exploration.
I'd love to see it make some appearances in New Who too, like having a first and current doctor crossover adventure.
Now that's just gorgeous!
Thanks for all many shots from different angles – as a poor student living on the other side of the world, and therefore having exactly zero chance of getting to the UK to see it for realz, it's nice to be able to get a sense of an prop like this as a 3 dimensional object. It's so frustrating when there's only a couple of pics or when they're badly taken, but these… just, wow.
I'm so jealous right now.
Gavin – that's a brilliant idea. 🙂
I hope to god they bring this to a permenant home at the experience cus it's my favourite console and love to see it. It's a shame the original was smashed up but this replica is just as cool and beautiful
I love the console, I would so love to have it, I want to make my own series, wish I could use Professor What but that is taken now
Wow, this is amazing! They should use this cast and props to recreate lost episodes. The only thing missing here is the photo wall version of one of the real walls. I was always amazed they did that.
Great Stuff, thanks for the post!
I hope the current series has the sense to work in a story where this original console appears.
Makes me wonder if we'll ever see the Blackpool-made console ever again.
Somewhere someone has it…
They don't make 'em like the use to.
What a thing of great beauty!
Thanks for posting.
GIRONNIMO!
