10 Greatest CGI Moments In Doctor Who History

10. The TARDIS Collapsing (Eve Of The Daleks)

While the TARDIS interior has always been a practical set, by 2022 the CGI skills and technology available allowed for incredible sequences like the collapsing of the TARDIS control room in Eve of the Daleks.

This moment looks fantastic, with the walls cracking and collapsing as Jodie Whittaker runs in slow motion through the chaos. The editing must also be commended for seamlessly cutting between the footage shot on the physical set and the sequence created in post production. It blends together so well that it’s impossible to tell where reality ends and CGI begins!

In the past, a scene calling for the collapsing of the TARDIS interior would probably have required the destruction of the physical set (looking at you The End of Time Part 2) and so to be able to achieve the complete implosion of the TARDIS without damaging a single round thing is both remarkable from a technical standpoint, but also from a practical one too. We all know Doctor Who loves to penny-pinch.

Gone are the days when the best substitute for the TARDIS set was hanging up a sheet and turning the lights down in the hope that no one noticed. How times have changed.
