Behind the scenes
- When designing the Thirteenth Doctor's console room and the Thirteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver, Arwel Wyn Jones intended for the crystals to establish that in the Series 11 version of the Whoniverse, Time Lord technology was crystal-based. Jones was inspired by the scientific idea of time crystals, as well as quartz crystal watches, with the idea that the crystal harnessed the immense power of the TARDIS.[1]
