More of the Victorian influence

Spring [1] likes the current TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimentions In Space) interior [2], but frankly, I can't stand it (although granted, it's just marginally better than the mid-90s interior [3], which in my universe, never happened). No, I like the standard interior [4].

But I absolutely love the Victorian TARDIS interior:

[Now that's a console!] [5]… [6]

There are, unfortunately, very few pictures of this interior on the Internet, oddly enough. To get some, I actually rented the episode this interior appears in, and grabbed some screen shots:

[Sorry about the color] [7]… … [but I wanted the detail] [8]… … [so I had to stretch the contrast a bit] [9]…

(of course, after I did all that, I found the Wikipedia page for this interior [10]—sigh)

I'm not sure why the producers didn't use this interior more, nor why they even had it to begin with. The information about this particular interior is very hard to come by.

Pity. It's a lovely TARDIS interior.
