Behind the scenes
The Doctor's bedroom was first depicted in DWM 69's instalment of Doctor Who? in which the Fifth Doctor was awoken by the Cloister Bell. At that time the room contained an alarm clock and a teddy bear.
Robert Holmes's original rehearsal draft of TV: The Mysterious Planet was set to feature the Doctor's bedroom in prominence. In a scene spearheaded by Peri, who was attempting to spring-clean the TARDIS. It was described as featuring roundels much like the rest of the TARDIS. However, the room itself was in "utter chaos".
Among the paraphernalia of centuries-old travel (circa the Sixth Doctor), there is exhaustively noted:
- An unmade, single bed;
- A bookcase containing wax tablets, Greek scrolls, ancient leather-bound volumes, and modern paperback and hardcover novels;
- A workbench covered in "tools and futuristic engineering" yet to be completed;
- A set of 1930s British traffic lights;
- A collection of lamps to indicate roadworks in progress;
- A bus stop;
- A beautiful roll-top desk;
- A collection of woefully underused weights and bodybuilding equipment;
- An industrial-grade refrigerator;
- A model railway kit, and;
- Varying other pieces of "antique[s]" and objects gathered from the Doctor's "other alien adventures".
