Is it just me, or does the 'new' Tardis exterior just look like they made a bigger version of the plastic models?

I prefer the current one if i'm brutally honest.

Does anyone here think that the new TARDIS looks like the TARDIS money bank that speaks when you open it?

It certainly looks very plastic.

Already agreed on that point lol. And they are definitely going retro by reverting to the old windows and the original ambulance symbol seen on the 60's TARDIS.

This is old news but apparently Guinness Book of World Records warded Dr. Who as the Most Successful Sci-Fi series in history.

They originally had StarGate (SG1) was the longest running SciFi series, but then they got all the Doctor Who fans pouring over them because Doctor Who has been running the longest, 26 years!

Have you seen the new Doctor Who logo?


1 question springs to mind.
Who at the BBC let someone produce this mess? Its like something done in 5 minutes in Photoshop!

Hate it almost as much as the large plastic looking TARDIS, the new 'Emo' Doctor and the new Sonic Screwdriver that looks like a old dentist drill.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

I thoroughly dislike the new logo.

The older ones, I could understand them updating them due to time going on, and the rate the VFX were improving in those days, however...

The old one, was, is, good, fantastic, it's the shows fracking logo... Every person that has tuned into the new series has that as the Doctor Who logo in their mind, why, why, would they change it?

Also... I think JJ had a hand in this design... There's way too much lens flare...

And I agree... It looks like something somebody did in 5 minutes in photoshop.

I read they are changing the Interior for matt smiths doctor as well, River Song meeting the Doc is confirmed as an episode of season 5 to, which is good, I like The New doctor as an actor not crazy about his New look, but i will have faith in steven moffit to deliver a brilliant new era of the series. The new logo i agree w you guys on. I never liked the Coral new interior of the Tardis, i am a fan of the way the console room looked in "The five doctors" up to the tv movie with paul macgann, and i also liked macganns victorian steampunk interior.

The only thing I like about the new logo is the insignia is shaped like the TARDIS, that is a cool idea. The rest of it, no. Shoulda kept the current one.

I love the Choral interior. I think that they over did the lighting in the first couple of series, too much green, but it's a sweet design.

I hope the stories are good, Hate the new TARDIS, hate the Sonic Vibrator and not a fan of the costume. I'll give the guy a chance though.

I had the absolute PLEASURE of watching David tennant guest star as the Doctor this weekeend
"the wedding of sarah jane" it was one of his best stories yet, it had continuality (something Russel T Davies will for any of his shortcomings as a writer, never be accused with an ounce of Justice that he was bad at), Picking up threads from the Stolen earth/ Journey's end storyline, and had some haunting foreshadowing of his forthcoming regeneration in a couple of scenes. If your a fan, wether you ever bothered with Sarah jane adventures or not, This is a MUST SEE Doc10 episode for certain.

Yep, the Doc was great in that.

On the news series front, the Moff has stated that he always like the Peter Cushing TARDIS interior and wanted to make it more like that. Can't find any pictures of it on google though.

Daystar, I don't mean to nitpick, but the word is continuity. You've used continuality a lot lately, and it grates every time I read it. I really don't mean to offend, it's just a pointer.

Grammar police DO offend, so whether you mean to or not, here is the deal, and this does not apply to me personally but think about this..If you were like a coworker of mine, from another country and still learning the language, do i have to disclaim that to avoid being judged by grammar police in forums? All it does when people say how irritating it is, is possibly scare people from wanting to participate in the forums. People use abbreviated "online" terms anyways, like LOL or stfu..Funny how those are not "corrected grammar"..so i can talk to u like this lol? and Not be ragged on, but if i misspell a word you have to not only try and "help"them but try and embarrass them in the forums publicly? Whatever.

Okay sorry for the reaction, tired from work. I will use the grammar checker as i post henceforth.

Nomnomnom

New WoM trailer, not sure what to make of this one... From an 'I haven't seen it' perspective it seems to give away too much of the plot... But meh.
