    As great as it was to see these images I feel that the BBC did right in sacking the “gal” who posted them. If you think about it, the images of the sets are the intellectual copyright of the BBC and the person who took them has breached their contract. It is the same as “stealing” from your employers.. you take the consequences!

    Just read on Gallifrey Times that an actress called Sophie Holt will play Dodo Chaplet in An Adventure in Space and Time, So looks like there covering the whole Hartnell era. Wonder who’ll play Peter Purves?

    In the 2013 Nickelodean Kids Choice Awards, one of the nominees for the best UK TV shows is Doctor Who. It would be great if Doctor Who won for the 50th year!

    All the ‘Lime Grove’ and ‘Riverside’studio scenes as featured in this BBC drama recreation are ex- BBC cameras, the same as used on both series of The Hour, plus the monitors, lights, mics and booms. All from the period and hired from Golden Age Tv.

    Looks like they have done a sterling job on the TARDIS interior! especially the original (1963) console-complete with meters/blinking lights/switches and levers! I could have sworn that was Jackie Hill in the pic-very authentic and period clothing-down to coat, skirt and backcombing, just like the teacher Jackie played.
    Roll on November!

      Patrick Troughton? I thought this was covering the Hartnell era?

      yes but part of that will be having to replace the lead Actor and how they come up with the regeneration idea

    Once filming on both sets finish, assuming they’ve yet to finish filming scenes on both sets, they should really then send them to where the Doctor Who Experience currently is, cos the Junkyard and original Tardis Console Room sets are a big part of early Doctor Who history.

      I agree here 100% the TARDIS poice-box and console/interior were a HUGE part of early Dr Who, I sincerely hope these sets don’t get ‘junked’!
      The opening scenes of ‘The Planet Of The Giants’ (1965) I remember well, and they have some superb scenes of the early console in action. In the website Tardisbuilders.com a forum member has nearing completion a MAGNIFICENT 1963 console-which has been going on since 2008 that not even the Beeb would believe if they saw it!!

    You know, I’m hoping we see this control room again in the show, along with David Bradley as the First Doctor and those Invasion of Earth Dalek props. Or better, still, the 50th Anniversery Special! 😀

      It probably wouldn’t be the same to remake episodes with new actors. I can understand doing a Documentary of sorts but remaking missing stories is a little too far. I’m happy with the animations that they’re doing so far.

      Being an actor myself I happen to know it’s not that simple. They might have other work commitments directly after this one and stuff like that. Plus the BBC would have to make extra deals with their agents, etc.

    Has someone actually invented time travel and kidnapped the original cast and crew and forced them to come to 2013 to film the special and maybe even re-film some of the missing stories!!

      Looking at these pictures, I’d have to agree with you, it really does look like these pictures where taken in 1963 during filming of ‘An Unearthly Child’, but offcourse, it’s just a perfect recreation of the Tardis set, with actors perfectly replicating the look of the original characters.

    I was hopeful that they would re-build the Tardis console room set from 1963, and my god they have done so well, it looks as thou they’ve just got all the original walls and console, given them a good brushing down, a good lick of paint, and hey presto, she’s back to her original good old self again, and the rebuilding of the no.76 Totters Lane Junkyard set is superb.

    I can’t wait to see this now – HURRY UP NOVEMBER 2013 !!!!!!!!! 😀

    Now they have re-created the TARDIS interior from that era for this drama…it would be shame not to use it in the actual show.

    I always thought the Doctor’s Wife would have been even better than it was if the hidden control room was an older version and not just the last one he used.

      I’m hoping they will re-use this set in ‘Journey to the Centre of the Tardis’, cos what if the Centre of the Tardis turns out to be a re-creation of the original 1963 console room, and the 11th Doctor and Clara where walking around inside it and touching all the dials and levers on it ?, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME !!!!!!!!! 😀
