- Season 12 kicked the range off with the Season 12 console room. Wait a minute, we never actually see Harry Sullivan in the TARDIS? There is no Season 12 console room! In fact the outside of the TARDIS only appears in 3 of the 5 stories.
Based on Season 12 I'd guess they will invent a Season 12 console room. But by this point in the range I think fans would be prepared for the Inferno hut. Season 12 was a gamble since no one knew if Blu-ray sets would sell and someone was determined to get a CGI console room in there even if they never got a second release. Now that we've seen the console rooms so many times over, the Inferno hut would be an interesting change.
aw man .... completely forgot that Season 12 had no console room scenes! Yet it was there on the blu ray menu.
I hang my nerd head in shame...
That brings back a funny memory though. My first exposure to Doctor Who was via the PBS channel in Louisville Ky in the late 80s. They started with season 12, "Robot", and then did the rest of the Tom Baker era stories.
I was watching every week, and just assumed they never showed the inside of the TARDIS -- i figured it was just black and plain, like a magic CS Lewis Wardrobe or something.
Then while watching "Planet of Evil" they had that scene out of the blue with Tom Baker in the console room hovering over the controls (the PBS station played Planet of Evil and Pyramids of Mars in the wrong order).
And I had no idea where he was! The walls were all white, so I assumed he was in another part of the earth spaceship.
Eventually I realized he was in the TARDIS ... but i was a long time on the uptake!
