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.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
