Talk:TARDIS control room

I'll leave it up to the DW fandom to decide whether this merits inclusion in the article, but while rewatching Series 5 and the first half of Series 6, I spotted something of note: between The Pandorica Opens and A Christmas Carol, the central console platform's original railings were replaced by sturdier-looking ones.

Insperation for the tardis's new look?
Could an abstract painting be behind the Eleventh Doctor's new console room? (Sigh... An abstract is a paitning with multiple mismatched shapes that form and imae, kinda like a puzzle.) SHOULD we put a line saying that the theme of the Eleventh's console room appears to be based on an abstract? (Forgetful 10th doctor fan talk to me 21:21, November 14, 2011 (UTC))

Later Eighth Doctor edit
The TARDIS completed its regeneration on Earth, after the Doctor exhausted its power in the destruction of Gallifrey

Shouldn't this be removed as we now know that Gallifrey wasn't destroyed? Also the line about regenerating 100 years for the Tardis seems out of place as Gallifrey wasn't destroyed.


 * Different destruction. From what I understand, the destruction of Gallifrey in the 1990s novels' War is a different event to the final day of the Last Great Time War and Gallifrey being sent to the pocket universe. Escape Velocity was released four years before The End of the World's first direct mention of the Time War the War Doctor fought in. Yeah, Doctor Who continuity is funny that way. -- Tybort (talk page) 12:59, October 16, 2014 (UTC)

Neon/"Toyota" Console
The neon console used by the Eleventh Doctor since "The Snowmen" and modified by the Twelfth Doctor in "Deep Breath" has been renamed as the "Toyota console" by the user "Wizardel". I see nowhere in official DW media within episodes or otherwise that indicates that the console is called the "Toyota console". I believe that the name should be reverted to "Neon console" due to "Toyota" being a registered trademarked brand name that is not associated in any way with DW. I'm doing this through the talk page as I do not want my edit to simply be reverted and I wish to establish a consensus for support to change the article. Support please!

I have to agree - "Toyota console" label is a total non sequitur and should be removed.

 * The term comes from page 104 of TEDW 2, but I've got to agree that it's not useful or as intuitive as "neon", and even knowing where it comes from still isn't exactly in line with T:VS. -- Tybort (talk page) 02:37, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

Removing "Toyota" one more time. It is not to be put back in the article unless there is a valid source for it. Shambala108 ☎  17:22, March 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * I think it should be changed back to toyota, the essential Doctor Who book has stated that it is called the Toyota, as stated by Michael Pickwoad. Images: http://imgur.com/a/OsvOx   http://imgur.com/a/zg8SI I would do it if the page isn't protected.
 * And that's why the page is protected. The source you cited is not a valid source for in universe pages. The information will never be added to the page until/unless it comes from a valid source. Shambala108 ☎  15:03, November 17, 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but how is a book from the BBC not valid? And where did "Neon" come from anyways? Shouldn't we be using the official names here?
