Speaking of the TARDIS, here's a funny little moment that happened between Smith and Tennant while they were shooting those interior scenes.

According to Moffat, Smith kept trying to offer Tennant the controls of the TARDIS, possibly because he felt guilty that he was getting to do most of the flying.

"I mean, it's your TARDIS too" Smith would say. "Oh, no, no, you're doing fine!" Tennant would quip in response.

We can't help but read Tennant's reply in a sarcastic manner, but then again, Smith was an experienced TARDIS pilot by this stage. Just a friendly bit of banter between Time Lords!
