Doctor Who is notorious for having to stretch its budget in order to build the fantastical alien worlds and complex technologies that feature on the show on a regular basis, and as a result, the production team will recycle any props or sets that it possibly can.

And even in recent years when the show has become more popular, this practice has remained constant.

In The Day Of The Doctor, one of the walls of the museum is patterned to resemble the original design of the TARDIS from all the way back in the 1960s, a cool little easter egg for fans to pick up on.

And rather than chucking it out when the episode had finished filming, the wall was kept, and was later re-used when the time came to build David Bradley's (who played the First Doctor in An Adventure In Space And Time and Twice Upon A Time) TARDIS.
