== Associated control rooms == | |||
This console appeared in [[TARDIS control room (The Eleventh Doctor)|the Eleventh Doctor's first control room]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Eleventh Hour (TV story)}}, et al.) | |||
A panel resembling a mashup of several parts of this console, most strongly the helm panel, appeared in the [[remembered TARDIS]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Earthshock (TotT TV story)}}, et al.) | |||

When the TARDIS regenerated itself, the console was also drastically different. The shape of the console had returned to hexagonal, but control panels maintained a very unique shape, with the panels themselves being slightly separated from each other. The panels were mostly made of glass and plastic materials with Gallifreyan shapes etched into them and lights present underneath. This was the second console to have a primary dematerialisation lever, which appeared similar to the throttle of a 21st century plane, but with yellow lights. | When the TARDIS regenerated itself, the console was also drastically different.

* After [[Amy Pond]] accepted his offer to leave [[Leadworth]], the Doctor began flipping the three switches on the mechanical panel. He then typed something on the typewriter, then pushed the black-handled lever on the [[materialise/dematerialise function]], then pulled the navigation panel's pinball launcher (which made the [[atom accelerator]] start spinning and making pinball bouncing noises). After this, to set the TARDIS in flight, he pulled back the [[time rotor handbrake]].
