Doctor Who: Every TARDIS Interior Ranked From Worst To Best

The original and the best, and the TARDIS console that the show keeps harking back to even now.

It's not an exaggeration to suggest that the original TARDIS interior was key to the show's success. The Daleks solidified Doctor Who in the minds of viewers, but the moment that Ian and Barbara stumbled into that vast, brilliant white control room was when a TV legend was truly born.

Despite a few of the First Doctor's antiques being shifted around, or the size of the room being reduced slightly, this look endured throughout the 1960s. In the decades that followed, the classic series made some tweaks to the basic look in order to keep up with the changing technology of TV production.

It's fascinating that modern Doctor Who has never fully embraced this iconic look since its 2005 return. From the minute they recreated the 1960s TARDIS for Mark Gatiss' docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time, the classic TARDIS interior was constantly popping back up.

From the other TARDIS in Hell Bent to the Fugitive Doctor's TARDIS and the Thirteenth Doctor's Dalek trap, they've all harked back to that brilliant white room.

Maybe Ncuti Gatwa's era will once again embrace this classic design - a fitting refresh for the show in its 60th anniversary year.
