After the TARDIS's interior dimensions were damaged when it was stolen and piloted through a temporally unstable region (PROSE: The Crystal Bucephalus) or the Fifth Doctor destroyed the console to prevent Chaos using it, (AUDIO: The Kamelion Empire [+]Loading...["The Kamelion Empire (audio story)"]) the interior was completely refurbished, giving the control room a sleeker, more high-tech appearance. The columns were now rectangular rather than cylindrical, and the roundelled walls now deeper inset. (TV: The Five Doctors) Following his regeneration, (TV: The Caves of Androzani) it would be used by his next two incarnations, the Sixth and Seventh Doctors. (TV: The Twin Dilemma, Time and the Rani)

After the Doctor, Ace and Hex did some "redecorating" to create the "Victorian" console room, (AUDIO: The Settling) this console room would be retired, briefly being reused as the console room of the original TARDIS after it materialised inside the "Black TARDIS", which used the "Victorian". The Black TARDIS was eventually destroyed, restoring the console room to its Victorian style. (AUDIO: Black and White)

The console in this room was duplicated by a matter-manipulating entity that the the Rani had enslaved to do her bidding, seeking to replace the console room of her own TARDIS after the Tremas Master had separated it from the rest of her ship to save himself from a tyrannosaurus rex. (TV: The Mark of the Rani) For a time, this console was used as an Oracle by the population of Alexandria in a duplicated version of Ancient Egypt that the entity had created by accident. The people accessed its databanks to learn about future technology. The duplicate console was eventually connected to the Rani's TARDIS, allowing her to control her ship once again. (PROSE: State of Change)

Use by the Second Doctor

The Second Doctor with his TARDIS linked to the Stattenheim remote. (TV: The Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (TV story)"])

During the Second Doctor's encounter with the Sixth Doctor, he used this design of control room with a console of the same design used by the Fourth Doctor with an additional teleport control on it. (TVThe Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (TV story)"])

By some accounts, this was because these events occurred after the Doctor's trial in a Type 97 TARDIS, (PROSE: World Game [+]Loading...["World Game (novel)"], etc.) but others suggested this encounter did indeed slot during the Doctor's original travels with Jamie and Victoria. (PROSEThe Legacy of Gallifrey [+]Loading...["The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)"], AUDIO: The Black Hole [+]Loading...["The Black Hole (audio story)"]) According to one of those latter accounts, the Second Doctor temporarily synchronised his TARDIS with Gallifrey by linking it to the Stattenheim remote control. It was reflected by the change in its change of appearance. (AUDIO: The Black Hole [+]Loading...["The Black Hole (audio story)"])
