They’ve redesigned the TARDIS for the next series of Doctor Who, partly to underscore the change in executive producers, partly to film better in high-definition. It looks less naturalistic, the exterior less weathered, the profile more iconic—frankly, it looks great.
But I’d be kicked out of the Nitpicking Nerd Club if I didn’t have something bitchy to say about it. Unlike a lot of Who fans, I don’t object to change just because it’s change, but for the love of Hartnell, the police boxes from the 50’s were made out of concrete. Judging from this picture, they’re making the wood grain even more prominent—a design feature unto itself. Come on.
If there’s one thing Doctor Who is known for, it’s historical accuracy. Get it together, Moffat.
oh lord
